What's buzzing in the world of cricket....

Disappointing to hear him talking about the demise of Test cricket. No Tests, and I won't watch anything. I followed the Aus/Ind Test series very closely, watching up until tea at times. I've watched half an innings in the ODIs. I can't maintain interest. Find it difficult to be interested even in England in T20.

I'm going to stop buying tickets for ODIs in the UK, because the ECB is pushing ODIs far too much. The 5 matches v Australia next summer, at the expense of Tests v South Africa, feels like a turning point.

Jesus, listening to people talk about finance is so depressing...

Too true Gideon. Watching the Aussies trying to slow down the Sri Lankans with high full tosses the other day, was dismal.

That was great ddb, thanks. You might not agree with him, but he's intelligent, well informed and speaks with authority.

Particularly like the bit right at the end where he describes George Dobell as a sensationalist, headline seeking knee jerker.

OK, let me make clear, he didn't actually name or allude to George at all. Nothing to see.

Maybe we need a code. If you use a Bond title in your recommendation then I won't watch/listen/read for the information given.

Thanks, my French is pretty lousy and I can't remember the future tense. No good for making wild predictions for coming series.
