whats the format for the pura cup?SirBloody Idiot said:An Aussie thing as well pretty much, no TV coverage or big attendances from what I've been to.
Pura Cup is of course a different story.
For sure. Even though I love cricket, I can understand - especially considering that the Test players rarely turn out for their teams - why the public won't go along to domestic FC cricket. By contrast, the less 'cultured' cricket fan loves to see the ball flyin' around, regardless of who is playing - which is what you get in both Domestic One-Day games, and Twenty20.Richard said:Yet the point I'm making is that that role could be performed by both Twenty20 Cups and the domestic-one-day game.

i just don't believe in county cricket,i don't feel any loyalty to my nearest county.
its not like in rugby or football to me where i support my club more than country.
What is, for me, interesting is that in the late 1970s in England it would have been perfectly possible to have Hants vs Somerset featuring Greenidge and Marshall against Botham, Richards and Garner.howardj said:For sure.
