And there he goes. I blinked and I missed him.

This is really getting the posts. A poor format which is not needed for a bloated Cricket system we have across the world currently.

T20 is the way to go

Dead right. I used to say that T20 is cricket for those who don't really like the game, and obviously the Hundred takes that to the next level.

I was thinking about how a six-team T20 tournament could work based on regionally grouped teams (three counties each). Let's say you picked four players from two of the counties and five from another. Add in three overseas players for a squad of 16. Here's what I came up with on the premise that all England players were available. Players were selected by current county - I know some guys are moving on at the end of the Summer and in the case of Rossington, say, on loan at another. South could do with some more batters, but loads of good bowlers here. But that's what your overseas guys are for.

I would almost certainly bet on the North winning - look how stacked that side is! And good players were left out.

Underwhelming ladies final. Brave were going ok but just lost it in the final 30 balls. Even with the scoreboard pressure of a final, 101 was a very poor score. Ismail was terrific, but Kapp as always is the clutch player when the heat is on. Lauren Bell was excellent for Brave but couldn't do much herself.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The best thing of the final so far has been Stuart Broad's commentary.

He's a natural

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Not sure anyone here was watching but the men's final was a thriller.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Didn't watch it, but I see from the scorecard that Sam Cook went well. I assume as the ECB are all in on this ****fest that success here is a nice shortcut into England honours, right?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Hadn't seen him bowl with a white ball before, hadn't realised he was any good at it. But yeah he was impressive.

I think the England set up do pay attention when considering T20I selection. Will Jacks and Jordan Cox have just been called up for the next touring squad in no small part due to their Hundred seasons. and I don't think Roy would have been axed from the World Cup squad if he'd made runs. So maybe SCook will get a chance after the WC?

He’ll presumably be straight into the England Hundred squad.

Cook bowled some excellent yorkers and he's no slouch. England have problems with their pace bowlers, especially at the death. Woakes, Wood and Jordan aren't that reliable. Obviously they've named their squad now. Amazed Gleeson is on the list of reserves though.
