As a Lancashire member I think I should be due compensation.��

As a Lancastrian you need every bit of sympathy going
But agreed, the Hundred is a load of marketing shite and certainly nothing resembling the game that used to be called cricket.

Bah Humbug, you old fuddy-duddy.
I went to the England-Pakistan T20 last Sunday at Headingley, and it was good fun.
Get with the beat, Daddio...

Which makes our current form against the Yorkies all the more enjoyable.

I have just about come to terms with T20 and the atmosphere at Old Trafford on Tuesday for England v Pakistan was terrific, even with the Bangra band pounding out their beat right behind us. Have to say that was more enjoyable than listening to the self styled yobs of the Barmy Army. I think the hundred is just garbage, no connection or affiliation with most of the teams, stupid rules and running it alongside an established 50 over competition is just daft.

Re: English Cricket
Shabby from England today, how can you expect players to go 5 or 6 months without red ball cricket then turn out against a world class attack.

l agree but apart from Root England at test level are lacking in world class players as apart from Root the batting averages are not good enough for test level.

Re: English Cricket
If Rishan Pant was made to remove illegal taping from his gloves why wasn't Dawid Malan recalled?

Yup - I was there today, watching Rooty hit 121, and the rest of the team get to 423.

Re: English Cricket
A stunning turnaround from the last test, still room for improvement, can they maintain it?

Re: English Cricket
Absolutely brilliant by England but totally unexpected given the shambles of the last test.

Re: English Cricket
Doubts over the final Test Match tomorrow due to covid cases in the Indian camp.
Would be quite convenient for them in a way as they were begging for this last match to be cancelled a few months ago due to the rearranged IPL, and now of course they're 2-1 up. Cynical moi?
