The big boys already make a mind-boggling amount more from marketing than provincial clubs like us, not to mention from the CL. And nothing wrong with that, but what they want now is pure greed. Yes they could argue that overseas viewers tune in primarily for them, but they should be content with their current massive income advantage.
Yes indeed. Shane won a lot of the long balls lobbed up front, but was isolated too much. I think he and Gabbi could work well together if given the chance.
Never simples against their attack. Anything over 100 and I'll be nervous, especially with Middlesex winning (thanks a lot Lancs, again) and Yorks probably winning early tomorrow.
254 all out, a bit of a recovery. Essex 15-3. The other matches all seem to be low scoring as well, and wins for Yorks, Somerset and Middlesex are all very possible.
Looks nervously over shoulder.....
I always said Cuco got a lot of unfair stick on here. Maybe he's not as good as Cedric defensively (but wasn't bad), and going forward I think he puts in better crosses.
I'm not sure what your point is. Take away good players and a manager will likely struggle? Yes, that was my point.
RK was a good manager for us? Who's arguing?
Puel was not forceful enough to convince the board to bring in more players? Who knows, but that's a strange reason for the board to sack him.
To rub salt in the wounds I think it was 0 points for a draw in those days. So for a washout both teams got a grand total of 0 points. Complete idiocy.
Almost as insane as the points system in this league: http://www.bbc.com/sport/wales/41074513 (The team batting second can't get maximum batting points if they bowl out the other team cheaply, or in this case, declare early.)
True, but without Bailey, Roussow, Dawson, Vince, and Carberry there's a good chance they'd lose at Lord's. And with Somerset looking like they'll beat Lancs we'd then be in the thick of a relegation battle.
