Royal London Cup Discussion Thread

[ianp1970]

R5LX has Warks v Kent. BBC audio coverage of county cricket has been absolutely fantastic this year with full commentary of every match available online and a game simulcast on DAB wherever possible. Sky treat the county game as filler between England (and other international) matches.

Amazed Sky have chosen an overseas ODI over a domestic one day climax. They could easily have put the ODI on the red button or vice versa if they wanted.

This must have been the first time ever I remember Sky putting Overseas Cricket game over a domestic game.

Warks backs are really against the wall today, they need a resounding victory to get their net R/R down and the game looks like being rain affected. Mind you the performances they've put in this year hardly deserves a QF place.

Raining in Manchester and Birmingham.

And in Nottingham, hopefully a deluge?!

We generally do our best work in even years so watch out next year.

What a nonsense this comp has been. Flagship tournament, my @rse!

I wonder how much Royal London have shelled out to be associated with this piece of old rubbish, and whether they feel it has been money well spent?

The 40 and 50 over county tournaments have been rubbish for a few years now, T20 has killed them.

This competition was good last year, a lot good cricket played.

A better format by the ECB, just that the scheduling of matches are not player or spectator friendly and a final being held in later September.

Don't think anyone cares about this tournament. Might as well just replace this with the franchise T20.

[Aidan11]

It's a shame Sky can't devote even a tenth of the time to cricket that they do with football.

I have been banging on for years about having a weekly domestic programme devoted to county cricket. It's all England, England, England with lip service being paid to the counties.

[dan08]

Warks v Kent abandoned.

[Hampshire]

Anyone know how the QF dates are decided?
