jimbo jones Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 109 all out. At the start of the season this was the competition that Mickey Arthur singled out that we could have a real go at...so obviously it's the one that's been a disaster ? Obviously several outside factors have led to it going so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Reece dropped an absolute dolly. Fielding practice every day in the winter ?♂️ It's the one area that's been a disappointment this season. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is Conners has no overs left. If we could have dragged our score up to 125 we'd have probably had a great chance of the win. angieram and Grumpy Git 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly just 5, a shame Potts got the 9th wicket with the last ball of the over meaning we didn't get to bowl at the number 11 batsman. Positives - Conners and Aitchison continue to bowl well. Unfortunately Potts was expensive which we couldn't afford in such a low scoring game. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We made it a contest in the end. Small margins win matches, whether the lucky life their number 4 led, to missed throws, to the flukey edges for four. Exciting to say it was another dead rubber for us, a good crowd too. The Hundred is slowly strangling cricket, though. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hundred is slowly strangling cricket, though. I’ve delved into cricket Twitter over the last month, it's like there's a civil war going between those who love the hundred and want everything franchised and those who hate it and are a massive threat to the game as we know it. It is very nasty, even to the point of ex-players squabbling and calling each other names. It's a very depressing sight which can't be good for anyone. Right now the legacy of the Hundred appears to me to be causing a massive division in the cricketing community. The answer for next season is rumoured to be having another tournament. A red ball one in August, regionalised into 3 team tournaments (Notts and Leicestershire for us) using all the counties. Or having regionalised teams with the “best players” AKA a red ball version of the hundred ?♂️ Rammy03 and angieram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change anything with the counties involved requires agreement from the county chairman. They've found a way around that which is backed by Sky and their money.
