Remember when 1000 FC runs before the end of May was a thing?

Some lad for Sussex has just become the first to do it this season.

Couple of reasons in there that help explain why England are so s*** at Test cricket.

You can't compare the stat. Look at the calendar of fixtures.

It isn't the counties fault.

The counties need cash, the players want to earn well, the public want T20 and 50 overs. The players aren't that arsed about the championship but they also want to be test players. Solve that puzzle. Not easy for the administrators.

They could have started by not parking the First Class competition for the whole of the summer ti introduce a new format alongside one that it isn't very different from. If they are serious about having a good Test side. They probably aren't so fair enough.

I don't disagree. The scheduling is a farce. Hopefully next summers changes will help. Not expecting a middle order test star to appear tho tbh.

Not that it really matters all that much in one sense but given they all passed PCR tests but have chosen not to play surely it has to be a forfeit.

Shastri broke the match protocols apparently by going to a book launch then tested positive last week, match carried on. They will all be in the UAE tomorrow getting ready for the IPL.
