County cricket is in trouble. The Hundred ran rough shod over it. You had 5 counties playing no cricket for a large chunk of August. The Hundred ended up calling up over 100 players from the counties so reducing appeal of the 50 over competition. Still see the Hundred as struggling to attract...

Beat Hants in a couple of days 2004 or 2005. Council had underwritten the game so lost a bundle. That was about the end of outground cricket as club was losing money on the games. Mind you probably losing money on these 4 dayers at Edgbaston.

It's a shame because some sides put out a load of youngsters and it was great to see. Sussex fans got a lot to look forward to - they had teams out where the age range for the whole team was 16-23 and carried that through into 1st game of CC restart. This obsession with the Hundred seems to be...

Maybe we've reached the stage that the financial imbalance between red & white ball cricket means many players are losing interest in the red ball. If you do a calculation of pounds per hour for the two forms white ball would annihilate red ball. Plus hard to get motivated when you're being...

Been a lot of sub-150 scores since the resumption. Suppose they need result pitches so people can't argue throwing away summer months (on white ball cricket) isn't effecting red ball results.

What is it - the pitch or weather as no-one getting runs? Thought Bethell should be back in school by now. Sussex lost 3 or 4 players now term started again

Vikings pathetic 1st half - zero cohesion due this policy of not playing starters properly for at least part of pre-season games. 4 penalties on 1st drive inc. 3 for false starts!!! 17 penalties all game (Bengals only accepted 11 or 12 of them). 2nd half better until a stupid OT booth call. Cook...

joint decision my a*se!! ECB didn't have a choice. Can't be rescheduled before IPL is finished. BCCI will say pop over to India and play it.

Both remind me of that St Louis Rams team. Just keep throwing it regardless. Must be something about Tampa as visiting kickers don't do well there. Ours had an absolute shocker there last season which cost us a win (with some very dodgy ref calls) Becoming a bit of a lottery particularly with...

Players all tested negative. IPL starts next week ?? Coincidence ??????? Going to cost ECB a packet.

Vikings make or break year for the coach and possibly GM. Probably needs a play-off win to survive Positives - new IDL and Hunter back should make a difference. Trio of skill players in Jefferson, Thielen & Cook that have to rank amongst best in NFL. Possible issues - lot of...

Ayresome Park was a horrible ground. Late 70s they used to have bits of canvas and wood to slot onto the fences for when the local "Phil Taylors" started to lob those old plastic pub darts across.

So does Perez has to wait at least a lap before rejoining the race? Watching this is a painful waste of an afternoon.

One lap was taken off because of the 2nd lap behind the safety car according to Masi.

So would Perez be 4 laps behind if he started? If it's abandoned now isn't 4 laps enough for half points?

Pretty comprehensive. Robinson looks a genuine Test bowler and Overton has improved. Thought it could be a long day after yesterday's performance. Looked a decent batting wicket still.

About as good as it gets when you lose the toss. Batting like openers should - punish the poor balls and run well when there aren't many poor balls. Hameed 50 about 110 balls but 10 of those went for 4 so about 20 scoring shots out of 110 balls. But the bowling was the highlight.

Keep saying it when he's on it he's a genuine pleasure to watch. So difficult to believe he's nearly 40

NFL preseason games make our football preseason look like the World Cup. Really are awful. Give it 3-4 years and owners will be pushing for an 18th game and one less preseason game.

Up in Buda hills enjoying this cooler weather 😄
