Sorry to interrupt the cricket forum, but very well done to Cav for an outstanding comeback display in the Tour de France. 🚴‍♂️🚵‍♂️

One day cup starting today. Poor start for Yorks in the seasons second most important tournament and looks like Hants are going down though it's close. Plenty of overs for Essex to make the runs but we have them 7 down and we're into the bowlers. Advantage Essex

Well, anything with Manchester in its name is a no no

As I'm a Northern lass I'm going with Northern Superchargers (and their home games are to be played at Headingley )

Also, I just love watching our England players, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, etc. The only downside is that some of the players who are in the England squad to play India in August are being recalled to the squad after being allowed to play only 2 of the hundred matches.

It was a really exciting finish last night. It's worth giving it a go faaip, at least then you'll know whether it entertains you or not

10 balls per over. Can be bowled by the same bowler or after five balls the captain can change bowler depending on how well they're doing.i
I've found a couple of games for you on BBC 2 will post end of this match

Is this the Brathwaite that battered Ben Stokes all around the park when he was death bowling?

I might watch the Southern Brave if Vince plays... think he's the only Hants player playing

Cheers for that

It was just a slightly shorter T20 game. We are ruining the County and 50 over games for this nonsense - and Faaip is right who do you support ?. Joe is playing for Nottingham, Jonny B is playing for Cardiff, and I noticed that in last night's game Mahmood was playing for Surrey (or whatever stupid name they are being called) !! Add in shocking graphics and strange rules, and it's a big no from me.

And it's a big yes from me :)

A bit of fun with a cricket bat and ball....what's wrong with that and watching ones fave players.

I for one love a test match, my fave format of the game. But I can also enjoy other formats when no test matches are available.

Each to their own though

I find it a bit wierd that it's going on alongside the RL one day cup, Hampshire could use their captain for the second most important trophy

The graphics are awful to be fair but not a deal killer

Our RL 50 over game was ruined yesterday due to all the withdrawals for the 100. It was basically a Yorks 2nd XI plus Ballance. We were all out for 165 after 23 overs.
