Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
Already qualified and it doesn't really matter if they finish 2nd or 3rd as they are not playing any more games at Old Trafford this season. The outfield is being completely replaced for next year.

That still does not excuse a poor performance though.

A waterproof 3G surface with a roof would be best at Old Trafford

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
Knocking the football end stand down and letting Leeds Rhinos use the whole playing area at Headingley would be a good idea.

Extending the Yorkshire Dales and making a land grab of Lancashire land would also be a great idea ! Oooh - we've already done that !

Why not start an Aussie Rules league and use the cricket grounds all year round?

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
Amazingly there's some live cricket on BBC Red Button from 4pm today... 
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/44861598
Not sure what the quality of play will be like

Sam Curran get M.O.M in first test and gets dropped to make way for Stokes. 
I would have been tempted to leave Rashid out and play five pace bowlers given how badly India have played seam/swing bowling so far.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
I see Yorkshire got thrashed and miss out on the T20 quarterfinals.
Rolled over by Alex ‘I wasn’t there at the time ‘Hales.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
I thought that Cricket was the dullest sport ever, until Radio e Live Sports Extra covered Golf.
