Apparently according to the draft fixture schedule (out with the county clubs at the moment) there are 16 slots allocated for the 14 Championship matches.  Seven rounds are to be completed by the 25th May & six from the 23rd August to 30th Sept. The other three rounds will be on 14th & 28th June & 5th July.

So I estimate no championship cricket between 25th May and 14th June (3 week gap). Or between 18th to 27th June (10 days).  Or from 9th July to 23rd August (6-7 weeks).  Gaps may be longer dependent upon which 2 rounds Lancashire don't play.

Should I be excited by the fact that the June/ July dates when you would expect to get one home game presumably (maybe two) are Sundays or is that not relevant and they are likely to actually start on the Monday ?

Hope they all start on a Sunday

I agree. Except of course for those that start on a Saturday, or a Friday

Who knows, information only draft at this stage and leaked at that.  According to Graves, the counties themselves are responsible for next year's schedule.  But then that would be the same Graves who whilst visiting Leicestershire CCC promoting (or consulting over) the Hundred confirmed to their members that Indian players would be involved in his little tournament.

Delighted with the nine days weekend and Bank Holiday Championship even if coats and jumpers will be needed for many of them. Just booked 1st May off work in the hope that for the first time for many years I might get to at least a part of every day of a game.

My son will be disappointed in the T20 situation though. He is doing A Levels so we might miss a game or two due to the earlier staging.
I don’t suppose the ECB will care about that. As long as they can sell their Hundread Tickets.

Four back to back home games between 7th and 21st June inc might stretch the cash flow and enthusiasm even for those interested.  Especially those first 3 within 6 days.

Only one game at the Riverside this year, then.
