A bit late for a reply, but he was on Paternity Leave.

Design unfortunately, a very bad design!
I saw it more positively and consider the increased use of outgrounds to be an upside of the competition. I like outgrounds generally and they are often ‘right-sized’ for the competition.

I don't disagree, there are some lovely venues. A shame though that it is in effect largely a 2nd XI competition.

Only for some of the counties. Some are hardly missing any players.

We've got a fun situation where Bedingham isn't contracted to play and we've only been told today in the preview for tomorrows game.
He isn't in a Hundred side or in South Africa white ball squad currently in Aus.
Answers on a postcard why he's not in the squad

hoping for / expecting a replacement franchise contract? Half a dozen temp replacements announced today. Durham will not be facing Simpson who has just been announced as a replacement.

Barely played for us this season.
His contract expires end of the season. Feels like he might be weighing up his options now he's a fixture in the test side for SA.

Seems an odd signing for Essex. Hard to see how he fits into the first XI, unless someone's leaving. Even then, with Noah Thain around they must be fighting over the same slot.

A SACA graduate isn’t he? A few of them popping up around county cricket, which is a sign that they’re doing some good work

Or a sign counties have a more open attitude than their previous stance post Yorkshire. Most if not all counties now have 2nd XI fixtures against SACA hopefully more than a tick box exercise, but then how many county 2nd XIs are taken as seriously as a decade ago?

Of the five games played today I think only 3 of the 10 sides gave List A debuts to any players and I don't think Derbyshire are overly effected by franchise cricket.

I looked at a few scorecards and Durham/Warwickshire for two seemed to be playing a few first team regulars from the championship, different format I know. Will be interesting to see the sides the likes of Yorkshire/ Lancs put out.

That name, Seecharan, sounds like a Guyanese surname similar to Ramprakash.
Would be interested to know of his background
