Cricket

Hameed now out of Allot's clutches, and no surprise is flourishing.
Averaging 45 this season, less than Jennings for instance, but a big improvement on his previous three seasons. Bit harsh to blame only Allott - Chappell is coach and there were plenty of other factors in his struggles.

I've watched 3 or 4 of his innings this season and remain unconvinced that he's solved his problem against accurate, fast-medium bowling. I'd say he is looking to get off strike a little more than he did, which is good but he could still do it more. His cover drive remains a thing of beauty and for that reason alone I'd pick him ahead of Sibley!
 
It’s pointless.

Ersatz 20:20. No idea what the ECB was thinking
I think the pace and quick turn over fits it into a much more sellable TV category. All the graphics are far too much for me, but they're seeking a new audience.

My wife is watching it and it's semi-held her interest whereas 20/20, one-day and especially test would never. She even struggles to watch our son play!
 
No they're not lancs but they sort of are... It's all a bit too radical for me. What's up with 20/20... Don't feel there's a need or even space in the cricket calendar for it.
Player wise there's very few Lancs players involved, so I wonder if behind the scenes there's similar staff etc. The main link is playing at Old Trafford.
