For sure it’s all 20/20 led now, be nice to think the three formats could survive but time will tell, I love the ODIs me.

 

The shorter the game the less I like it.

 

Tests > ODIS > 20/20s.

 

And as for the IPL etc, zero interest for me. I'd rather watch a day of minor counties cricket.

Why are we still batting?

 

I have a feeling Root wanted the side to get past 400 in an innings for the first time in the series, and he thinks they can race to a total of 450 quite quickly. He probably feels a lead of 450-plus is sufficient but they might get to 500 sharpish as the Indians flag completely, and by getting Rashid out there batting, the spin bowler can get a good look at the footholes and gauge how playable or otherwise the pitch might become.

Lancs have Yorkshire 66/4 although I am sure they will recover.

 

Says a lot for the County Championship that looking at the scorecard I only know 2 of Lancashire's 4 bowlers so far , and 2 of the 6 Yorkshire batsmen's names.

They did recover but only to 209 ao. Lancs started well enough. 105/0 Knowing Lancs though they could be all out for less than 200.

That's exactly where I am with it. I'll watch 20/20 if it's on but only because of the lottery aspect to it. I long for the days of the of the old Nat West and B&H competitions.
