I agree with it apart from not playing on Saturdays, which is the best day to play cricket on, and not scrapping The (men's) Hundred, which is shite. And they can obviously fuck off with any plan to reduce the number of counties, the Tory twats.

Sadly, I can't see the Hundred going anywhere for the time being and everything I hear in the media when the subject comes up just confirms that.  Will be interesting to see just how much influence the new investors in it have and whether there will be calls for it to change to T20 format (though I do think the women's game should keep it). 

I quite like the structure they suggested, but would rather The Hundred and the Blast were combined to make one big T20 completion in that mid-August to September window, culminating in a finals day at Edgbaston.  That could leave the season up to mid August for County Championship and 50 over competitions (bring back the Sunday League!!).

Talking of the Hundred, I hope all the political twats moaning about the fan ban seriously look at this bollocks.

Blatant discrimination.

No-one should support this shithouse competition.
