First Worcester then Morecambe. Two communities with their asset torn away by these owners. It's already too late but the how we prevent this happening to any club anywhere in the pyramid needs to be thoroughly looked into

A Leicestershire fan runs on and says, ‘Hey, I’d have gone for a two-division county T20’

Today's latest gripe with The Hundred. How many millions did the England and Wales Cricket Board spend to develop a brand identity for each team only for half of them to immediately be IPL'd. Surely a cheap and dirty would have been a far better investment for cricket?
