Just voted against the proposed changes to next year’s 4 day cricket plans. The idea is to play even less 4 day cricket, because the players are tired.

Play less T20 or 100 then, or ban players from overseas competitions like IPL - they all seem keen enough to play more cricket when money is involved.

International players rarely play in the county championship anymore, a bunch of moaning minnies.

I am amazed they've gone for Jacks over Ahmed for the Ashes

4-0 Australia despite my previous 5-0 England prediction

I am amazed they've gone for Jacks over Ahmed for the Ashes

I find it baffling how Ahmed has failed to make the cut after an excellent year playing as an all-rounder for Leicestershire. I have never been sold on Jacks and I am struggling to see what he has done to warrant a place in the most important test squad. He has not played quite so much red ball cricket as Ahmed and has often been inconsistent in white ball cricket too.

Any idea which wofters are on for opening the batting in the ashes?

Probably the ones with a better opening average than strauss and cook but still get moaned at by a bunch of dull cry arses

Lancashire playing their final match of yet another unacceptable season. Glamorgan 251, but we're 103-6 and 143-7. Yet another occasion when they failed to mop up the tail, happened far too often this season. Bailey took 5-51. Lancashire 39-0.

Lancashire finished on 55-0.

Looks like Woakes' test career is over.

Rob Key insists Brook’s England promotion is not ‘scheme’ to oust Pope

The team director said: ‘Brook is the better leader, so that’s why he gets that [vice-captain] job’ while all but confirming Chris Woakes’ England career is over

Well played Notts! Got the 300 needed to get the batting points and thats enough to be County Champions.

Same but the lions are over there as well so I imagine it’s easy enough to call him up if they wish.

Think they need to pull the trigger on him though. Don’t know what else he could do to get in the side.

Lancashire lost their last 4 wickets for 9 runs. Again letting the opposition off the hook, but this time a batting collapse as opposed to bowling.

Us Everton and Lancashire fans don't get it easy do we.

I'm not very optimistic for next season. The team is riddled with bog standard players, and the club is rotten from the head down.

That Green got us over the line a few times didn't he, and we can't guarantee he'll even be here next season.

It's just as grim on the limited overs front with all of our decent players absent to play for England.

And too reliant on Wells and Jennings.
