This from Elizabeth updates that County clubs have spoken up. That someone thought it was ok to try and apply the gagging in the first place speaks of the undeniable disconnect with county cricket.

Of course.

Is this a trick question? Sam Curran is the only English bowler to get a t20i 5 for and he doesn't have a test 5 for...

Let's hope they don't get fined by the PCB after the games...

Some quite depressing findings from Richard Jones about cricket’s place in the sports news agenda, showing its decline.

His analysis of regional press, national radio & X posts suggests cricket is disappearing from some commercial media, and is heavily reliant on the BBC for prominence. #CRN2026

Right team you need 15 an over for 16 overs. No problem.
Who is the match up for Bumrah then?

Sikandar Raza is one of my favourite captains in cricket. You can see how much he cares even when the team is being smashed everywhere.

Thanks, they have a score there. Holder has immense character.

Just checked the cricket score.
Oh.

No it will encourage scouts from the school to offer 6th form cricket scholarships to the best kids.

Private schools no longer have charitable status and often rent out their facilities to local clubs.
Also pitches etc need maintenance and if the staff are on holiday it is harder.
This isn't a simple thing.

That first dropped catch was very costly.
The windies should win this by about 130 runs.

Wonderful from SA today. There really is a huge difference in the two groups.

Looked as if Banton just told the umpire he was out then to save the bother of a replay...

I think Matt Prior is right. Same for lots of sports, not just cricket.

Just think what could have happened in the ashes if in the first test England had scored runs in the second innings and given their bowlers more of a rest...

I think Aus need a review into their performances at this world cup...

Seems the Zim Vs Ire game has been abandoned.
Well done Zim for qualifying for the next stages.

I really hope not. I would like to see someone like Mark Butcher get the job.

Right, England through with no dramas. Good. 🫣🫣

This is grim from England.
So frustrating.

Put it in a bowl, crush the potatoes up a bit whack them on the top and no one is complaining...

England chose to field is one of my least favourite things to see on a scorecard.

This is turning into a "bat first" world cup
