Livingstone left out I'm sure all the Livi fans on here will be gutted by this but I have to say IMHO it is the correct decision. |

Don’t think he has many fans left on here Alanw !
I’m just thinking of the contrast between him and another bat I first saw in 2013, Josh Bohannon. My first time seeing LL was an outstanding century in a second team match on a green pitch against a very good attack. For his age , he looked the complete player. JB I saw score a 50 for a beaten Southport team against a top class Bootle attack and I commented to Dave Snellgrove how good he looked. Suspect LL has made a lot more money but I know who I feel has made more of his talent.

After winning the trophy in 2019 with all the fanfare that went with it, the powers that be decided to relegate the equivalent county tournament to basically a second team competition of barely any significance.
None of those in India at the moment have played in the 50 over domestic competition rather spending their time playing baseball for whoever side it is, add into that we decided to bring in a format which no one else in the world plays to get people into the ground who don't like cricket by er, playing cricket.
As a result we are 9th in the table and the only side beneath us is Afghanistan. One other thing this is not a young England team.
Watching cricket at this ground in the mountains, was just thinking to enhance the viewing they should build two hotels on the side of the ground and a big red thing called बिंदु (point in Hindu)
Then rip away one side of the ground and have a gap where they could place a stage for countless Foo Fighters gigs and have wickets where every game is a draw
What could go wrong with that.

Too many of them don’t play any first class cricket either Admin. That would be helpful in creating the stamina needed to play in such crippling heat.

No one can be surprised by Englands demise with the players playing so little 50 over cricket because of the stupid hundred.

George Dobell reporting in The Cricketer that this could be the last 50 over World Cup. The ICC plans to have meetings in November to discuss the formats future with major concerns about falling spectator numbers both at the grounds and on television.

Root comes out and says England doesn't play enough 50 over cricket. No ****, Sherlock.

Just 382 for South Africa the last 15 overs were brutal can we sign Klassen as for Root's comments Farbrace has stated that getting rid of the Blast would be a big mistake but we all know what they should get rid of but won't
