Going to be hyped by the TV because of their investment. Be interesting to see TV viewing figures. Maybe return to free-to-air TV hurting attendances? Obviously lack of star overseas players hurts the appeal. Still not convinced it's the best thing for the counties to be throwing away July /...

Is there a limit on tickets available because of COVID? First game at the Oval commentators kept repeating it was a sell-out yet there were lots of empty seats. Saw clips of the game at headingly last week with loads of empty seats .ECB being very coy on how many tickets were freebies (wasps...

so all the noise and Rodgers still turns up for pre-season

So Red Bull appealing Hamilton penalty

If test cricket is supposed to be 15 overs per hour then getting T20 to 20 overs in an hour 15 shouldn't be impossible. Get run penalties or 2nd innings over loss for slow rates would soon fix things.

few fireworks, bit of music , "snazzy" colours/graphics and kids will love anything. Still don't think the cricket itself is any different from T20 just wrapped in different packaging. Run rates etc generally on a par with T20. Clips I've seen still a lot of empty seats. If it all comes down...

Wasnt live music, DJs etc part of the T20 before COVID?

Money talks but probably going to be a fight with Premier Rugby about releasing players for yet another international particularly as they are expanding to 14 clubs (so another 2 fixtures per season for them).

Kolpak one of the worst things that has happened to county cricket. Made counties lazy particularly on youth development. At least in the "old" days when it was 2 overseas per county you were getting top quality players but the 12 month international calendar killed that off. There is some...

Some counties like Warks, Sussex,gloucs,somerset giving lots a chance. Then you've got those giving 1 a chance and a load of 25+ years a game,. Then those that dig up the usual south African / Zimbabwe youngster. But if you're a youngster don't bother with the likes of Hants,Essex, Glamorgan...

London cup - some counties being really adventurous giving lots of kids a chance. Other usual suspects being completely unambitious.

Would fancy the Lions chances better against a combination of those three than a single nation. Styles of play are so different they'd struggle to gel. The concept is basically whether a side that plays together a lot (in the same style ) can beat a side that has basically played together for a...

Physicality something to behold. Really is legalized violence :) How serious injury isn't routine is amazing. Doesn't seem this is a series that is going to see much back play.

Got to be honest lost interest about 4/5 "overs" into 2nd innings and turned over.

The graphics do seem to be the only difference with T20. Cricket not different so far. Commentators doing their best to pump it up on BBC.

Think Benjamin & Burgess slightly motivated today :) Shame about Bethell not getting many - supposed to be a decent prospect at just 17. Think he bowls some tidy left arm spin so maybe a few wickets

strange looking side Bears have out for Royal London game today

I don' t think punishment etc should be related to Championship position. Has to be a uniform approach all the way down - with prize money distribution etc just as important to small teams -eg if it's a Williams & Haas battling for a 10th placed finish and a jump up the end of season prize money...

Red Bull know that Max can be hot-headed so should be calming things down and focusing on having the best car. Best answer is to win in Hungary - not let Max get mixed up with lewis.
