Its all one big piss up isn't it
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.Can't help thinking it's a bit irrelevant. Imagine it's the Hundred teams with IPL ownership that are going to thrive financially as they've got access to big name Indian players - who in turn will bring in supporters from the indian community in decent numbers.
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.Think Warwickshire have fucked up partnering with the Birmingham City owners rather than an IPL franchise.

Surely with the demographic make up of Birmingham something like Birmingham Super Kings would have got people through the door.
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.General consensus around the Hundred has been that the branding is terrible. From team names, to team colours & logos is looks like something knocked up quickly for a GCSE art project.
With the teams now being sold off many clubs are embracing the opportunity to rebrand, some going all out and ditching everything, others more subtle.
So we come to Birmingham, the horribly named Phoenix. As far as I can tell neither the name, logo or colours have any relation to the city, they seemed to be more based around the fact they matched the colours of the sponsor. So lots of room for improvement with a rebrand.

struggling to contain my excitement at this radical rebrand.
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 leagueSo Northern Superchargers become Sunrisers Leeds and will play in orange just like Birmingham. Another well though through plan.
Think it's a shame but again there will be little chance of developing spinners in the current domestic red ball systemBashir has a county a shit county but the best he could get was Derbyshire
Seems like this white ball team is based on the principle of "no point having bowlers just hope the batsmen can score enough runs".
tbh I'd forgotten this was even happening today which says a lot about how things are going with cricket recently.Crawley going after nothing balls. Nothing changes, nothing learnt. Same old shit, different format!
Yep 4 quick wickets for no runsAnd there's your captain right there!
Root gone, now the inevitable batting collapse started quickly by Brooks
At least he's leading by example

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!Yep 4 quick wickets for no runs
Amazing that Sunday League got changed to midweek so it didn't interfere with county championship games. How times have changed.Be nice to have the Sunday league back but I like the metro bank cup but obviously it takes away from their beloved hundred.
I am amazed in the rush time that we still have 50 over cricket and it hasn’t been replaced by 40 overs.
True but due to Adil's large number of not outs. But Crawley only has 12 centuries against Adil's 10.This feels like something that can't possibly be true but is also entirely plausible at the same time
Chasing a total you'd hope sensible batting could get
They'll do their level best im sure!surely they can’t mess this one up
