@cricket_badger @CricketRef It still makes the ICC a lot of money so it’ll survive until there’s more money to be made doing something else. Whilst there will probably be fewer ODIs, I can’t see teams dropping them entirely as there will still be a need to prepare for WCs.

@TheBarmyArmy Haven’t watched it yet. Been saving it. The first series made me really like the bastards. Suspect I will come out of this one thinking Australia won the Ashes and willing to campaign for Pat as World President, Pope and Nobel Prize winner.

@CountyChamp Either you’re a genuine fast bowler or you’re not. He seems to be further than ever from opening for England. Something isn’t right: skills - doubtful; attitude - maybe; fitness - possibly. Or maybe the captain asked him to bowl spin - unlikely.

@TheCricketerMag Once the money from the sale of the 💯 teams has been spent and the non-hosting clubs are struggling to balance their books again, what will the ECB do to ensure the viability of all 18 counties? Is this sale just kicking county cricket’s financial problems down the road?

@huwzat @MichaelVaughan It’s tragic that English cricket has been so poorly financially managed that we now have no choice but to sell the 100 to enable some counties to survive. I only hope to God that private ownership works and that it generates enough tv revenue to sustain the counties.

@Athersmike Sadly, I expect them to be England’s last great fast bowlers. Nobody else will have time to develop into a legend before Test cricket is diminished into little more than an infrequent spectacle. I struggle to imagine another Englishman taking 300 Test wickets.

@huwzat It’s easy to say that, but tv revenue keeps the game alive. Are Sky going to pay big money to show competitions that lack top talent? If the big stars are all playing elsewhere, the likelihood is that there will be less money for the whole game and financial woes will persist.

@gowellender @JackRuleLD It feels to me that @thecricketdraft has been a game changer for engagement with the county game. I really hope it has the same effect when it comes to women’s cricket. If that’s what helps build a new audience and a new longterm fanbase then I’m absolutely all for it.

@DanKingdom96 @nickfshort When you say it is without proper scrutiny, conversations about the sale have been ongoing between the ECB and the counties for months. Are you suggesting that the county CEOs/Chairs have not done the proper analysis and assess the ECB’s proposals? If so, how do you know that?

@TheMiddleStump @Clarksy16 Foakes, Pope and Surrey’s batting depth have been a crucial part of their Championship wins over the last two years. But, goodness me, just look at the quality their attack. Worrall and Clark have been immense already this season then there’s Roach, Atkinson, Steel etc etc

@ToppersSnr @MattersCounty @IPL @PSLT20_HBLPSL The ECB are chasing the money but I’m not sure there’s another way to keep struggling clubs solvent and pay top players competitive rates. I wish there was. I don’t really want outside investment but nobody has been able to propose a credible alternative plan I can get behind.

@Glazgow @AMP86793444 @bbctms The problem is that Sky has no interest in showing the Blast to the extent that would require. They are the game’s primary funder. Until another broadcaster comes along to bid for domestic rights, the ECB has little choice but to provide content that Sky wants to show.

@echetus @simonhancock_uk No conscription is not a normal system. Please don’t normalise it. Conscription is the desperate act of a Government faced with an imminent attack from an adversery that a conventional, professional military is not expected to be able to hold back. We are not it that situation.

@WisdenCricket Is there currently a better bowler than Anderson out there in county cricket worthy of taking his spot? Not for my money and those who come close (Worrall, Porter and Cook) probably won’t get picked.
