T20 Franchises won't work in England

MOO tbh. It's shorter from Oxford to Northampton than to Edgbaston.

TBH I looked at a map briefly and saw that Warks was the first major cricketing county I saw next to Oxfordshire

The strongest Oxfordshire youth players at the moment seem to be heading to Gloucestershire more frequently than to either of our Northern neighbours. Yet I see more Northants replica kit than anything else...

 

[Richard]

How odd.

That is, that anyone not from Northants is supporting Northants.

There's hope there yet, then, meguesses.

We had a kid turn up at nets with a replica Northants shirt with "Lumb - 14" on the back. That confused the hell out of me until I discovered that Lumb was his own surname.

The sad thing is if it was a football shrit you wouldn't bat an eyelid at not recognising the name on the back.

 

[Richard]

Can't even remember OTOMH who Michael Lumb's playing for this year - Hants isn't it?

 

[Shoggz]

Yes - made a 50 today for them.
