    Utter joke of an organisation the ECB have lifted the ban on Yorkshire fir institutional racism and have allowed them to host tests again.

    Meanwhile, Durham remain banned from hosting tests due to asking for help to make changes the ECB asked them to.

    corrupt bunch of cùnts

    hardly a shock though is it?

    people get these 'top jobs on boards' by licking the correct backsides and quite possibly with some cash thrown in a couple of directions, therefore they will always side with certain groups above others...

    Absolute shocker that. Banned from hosting test matches between November and February.
    That will teach them.
    Why am I not surprised ECB backs Yorkshire. Corrupt from top to bottom

    Durham... " Look we need international matches as you insisted we build a ground to hold them when we applied for first class status. And there are many clubs in much worse debt than us"

    ECB..." Just accept what happens. Some of us never wanted you in the club anyway, and this is our payback time. NO test matches, got it?!"

    YORKS..." We need I ternational matches or we'll go broke, or better put, broker than we are now"

    ECB...." Okay. Fair enough. Nothing to worry about lads, as you were."

    I guarantee if Durham was a London based county we’d never have been relegated or stripped of test match status.

    The whole organisation is corrupt and biased. Yorkshire should’ve been made an example of.

    Unbelievable decision. Guilty of all charges, tarnished the whole county system but basically let off

    The government should step in to this farce

    Matty has been improving nicely. Spent the winter training to improve his stamina and strength for first class cricket.

    He's only turned 23, takes wickets, is quicker than he looks going off the way he surprises batsmen and has a sound attitude.

    He might not make it at test level. Or this might be too early. But he is exactly the type of lad who should gave been in and around the team this last few years. There are a few others.

    Just keeping on picking Craig Overton, who will bever take regular test wickets is mind numbingly stupid. Use Broad and Anderson and mix them with young lads who can learn from them.

    Good luck Matty. Be yourself .
