Think Warwickshire have fucked up partnering with the Birmingham City owners rather than an IPL franchise. As much as I'm against handing the domestic game to the IPL franchise owners I'm not sure a bunch of yanks is the better option.
Surely with the demographic make up of Birmingham something like Birmingham Super Kings would have got people through the door.

I’m not sure they are that bothered about cricket anymore, property development and a test ground is what matters. They haven’t made much effort to bring the needed players in.

summary. They live in a self-indulgent bubble (deaf to criticism/advice - constructive or other forms) where there's little accountability for performances on or off the field.

So Northern Superchargers become Sunrisers Leeds and will play in orange just like Birmingham. Another well though through plan.

Moeen Ali to Yorkshire I imagine on t20 contract that has been a disaster for Warwickshire mainly due to his lack of commitment.
James Rew has signed a one year extension at Somerset so can talk to Surrey on June 1st or any other counties.

And Manchester Original become Manchester Super Giants. The logo is orange. Surely you can't have 3 teams playing in orange in an 8 team league

Very cringey video, and the logo's shite (I know the existing one wasn't all that)

Think it's a shame but again there will be little chance of developing spinners in the current domestic red ball system

I'd have expected us to use it as prep for the T20 World Cup.... instead we've gone withthe same top 5 as the test side.
No doubt in the summer we'll be saying they're burnt out

tbh I'd forgotten this was even happening today which says a lot about how things are going with cricket recently.
In other news seems Bangladesh are officially out of the world cup as they won't play in India. Seems its fine for India to not play in Pakistan and refuse to have Pakistan play in India with zero punishment but Bangladesh are thrown out. Think if they go to the next team in the rankings that means Scotland are in.

Yep 4 quick wickets for no runs

And for 30 overs the bowling attack offered nothing! Brook, Crawley and now Bethell all thrown away wickets far too easily! You dont mind going out to fantastic bowling, but all 3 wickets were avoidable and needless!

Not sure what to say about this one.
Lost 3/4/5 consecutive away 50 series.
But turn up a few days before this one starts knowing it's going to be about spin but not getting any proper practice. Up against proper spinners which the batsmen aren't used to, bowling part-time spinners against batsmen who are used to proper spin. Can't think of any match/format where having Overton & Curran as your only quick options is a good thing.
Despite of all of this batsmen still contrived to throw away a winning position
These white ball series now just seem like they are all a bit trivial - quick 3 games here, quick 3 games there.

And the next generation of players coming through are unlikely to have played much, if any one day cricket. Which isn't great when we seem to have a problem not pacing the games as if they're a T20.
First sign of them being half decent and they'll be out of the Metro one days and in a 100 squad.
