Steam rollered through with no chance for members of counties and MCC to take part in decision making.Fait accompli ...

One of the most underrated achievers of the 20th Century...

How is the campaign going? It seems county clubs are being presented with a fait accompli. 'The game needs the cash' despite the ruination of red ball cricket especially Test cricket. England currently playing in world T20 but ECB Planning a different format. Nightmare scenario

Totally moronic scheduling of T20 World Cup ...

Daft post

Not much opposition to the 100 from the counties ... encouraging the death of red ball cricket. The cricket at Trent Bridge far superior to the dross Sky are currently promoting. Somerset in favour? .

Did he play in the same side as Walter Tull who also fought with the 17/ Middlesex and was killed in March 1918?

Do we care? A magnificent game at the CBS elicits nil coverage in mainstream media. Nothing but tedious speculation about ManU liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal #PUSB

Orpen played real tennis at Moreton Morrell in Warwickshire in 1913 according to the court bookings. It so happens Evelyn St. George played there with her sons which may explain his foray onto court as he was quite friendly with her! They were known as Jack and the Beanstalk

Would prefer Bidwell to Da Silva

We're second halfers... 2nd half in games and 2nd half of season ...

80% of the electorate didn't vote for him!

If Lawrence and Pope get rolled over by West Indies and Sri Lanka what hope have they v indian and Aussie quicks next year? Must be better batters in county cricket?

Which counties took same view?

Harrison and Graves, Thompson and Gould- former and current ECB top brass are in the process of ruining cricket in this country. Test cricket , County championship, 50 over and T20 all about to wither on the vine, all for the unnecessary and unpopular 💯 Disgrace...

But the 💯 an ill conceived vanity project is...

That batting performance was a huge threat to Sir Geoffrey's health

Nice one Stig...
