Ovis aries Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Big transformation in the teams form this season, they appear to be even worse, is that possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Losing Footit lost me as a member this year. We won't be able to bowl teams out twice unless it's a dog of a pitch. One days only for me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus and I were going to become members this year - then decided that there were better things to do than watch the opposition bat all day every day. /half fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Time to accept that there's no real future for non-test ground counties. No money. Can't compete. Can you see Ches being here next year if he keeps this scoring up? No chance. He'll go somewhere else for more money and good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should stay and repay Derbyshire for all the crap seasons he has had, he is very lucky IMHO not to have been released in past seasons . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 "Should", maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised or unduly upset, they all go as soon as they get enough profile. If he can better himself, good luck to him. Sometimes think there should be a regional 8-10 team first class league. County cricket isn't a going concern when you look at the empty stands. Who can afford the time to go? A handful of pensioners. No sustainable,]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I can't decide whether or not the promotion/relegation system is good for county cricket. There is actually a fair difference in quality and if you look at Division 1, it's dominated by the richest clubs. Time to embrace T20 in a county format maybe? It would get people back through the door and I think the city-based "franchise" system would be stupid. Keep the counties as they are, split them into two divisions and run it at a different time to the IPL. There is still demand out there for cricket but not enough is being done to make it exciting for young people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Slightly off-topic, well, county, but I was amused at this little curiosity from the Worcs v Durham 20/20 yesterday. When Durham bowled, MCCarthy's figures were 4 overs, 1 for 63. When Durham batted, McCarthy got a first ball duck. Not really a candidate for Man of the Match I'd have thought.

Are they still on offer? Must have missed this offer because the father in law loves cricket and I'd have got some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
