Wimbledon 2017 / Cricket 2017

Brilliant, gritty knock by Elgar but well played England, more of the same on Friday at Old Trafford please
Thought this was class - and this was well before the hat trick!

Haha Yeah I saw that on the SKY coverage yesterday!

Bring on Old Trafford! I shall be paying more attention to the Cricket than the Football that's for sure!

 

What's your feeling on the proposed 8 city based franchise like the Big Bash?
For, against or just 'let it happen and see'?
Essex won't be featuring, I think it's safe to say, so it's all about your sporting heroes, rather than which £ranchi$e they play for.
The more exposure the game gets, in the absence of any terrestrial coverage, the better

(Sorry all you non-cricket fans, I'll shut up now )

 

The 8 city T20 competition will at least have "significant free-to-air coverage", for me the more cricket I can watch the better!

I'm not sure if long-term it's in the best interests of the counties, and surely it's going to make it harder for First Class cricket to draw crowds?

 

I share your sentiments DH but my Missus definitely would be against it!!

"You're not still watching that Blasted Cricket are you...????"

 

Did anyone else see the shenanigans at Edgbaston last week when it came to retrieving the beach ball? Well, now you can

 

Congrats to Jimmy Anderson on the milestone of 500 test wickets
And to Henry Blofeld, who's long and distinguished career as a broadcaster finishes at the conclusion of this final test match of the summer.
Have a(nother) piece of cake, Blowers
