They should look how badly the Birmingham Bears business was accepted amongst the members.

The hundred is dead they know it and the ceo slipped it out in an interview they need to get behind the blast and try to get more quality overseas, the hundred has worked for the women’s game though.

Doubt the hundred would continue working for the women if the men aren't playing it.

It’s the exposure rather than the format that’s helped the women’s game. Could they do back-to-back T20s? Don’t know.

But part of that exposure was because the men were also playing it. If the Hundred had just been for female teams it wouldn't have got anywhere near the same coverage.

I don’t think all of the counties have lady teams to make a double header or if they do they are not high profile enough.

The counties have got to start getting the fixtures right and get more cricket on a weekend the current Warwickshire game finishes on Friday.

Counting down the days to the WC, can’t see past the Indians on home soil but had a small punt on New Zealand who are always underestimated

The winner could come from a lot of different teams, I wonder which Pakistan will turn up

Great knock that from Hain. No doubt will no go back to being ignored by England when they're playing someone better than Ireland

I thought it was just what England needed, I hope they don’t listen to Morgan who was critical of Hainbut would probably praise Crawley as he didn’t waste any balls.

That’s our NRR hammered. Love Woakes but never really done outside of England has he? I’d bring Topley in for Bangladesh

Missed the actual incidents but cricket has had it's VAR incidents.Stoinis's hand was not on the bat when the ball hit it but was given out caught by DRS and Steve Smith was given out LBW by DRS dispite looking as though the ball was missing leg stump. The umpire had given it not out.It could not have happened to a better team,

I've put rather a lot of confidence in their review system as a whole, a lot of tech like noise and those funny odd where projected ball would hit or miss, and enjoy that it affirms "umpire call" on too-tough-to-say stumps to give the on field umpires respectable adjudication in what is a very tough job in the heat of the moment.

I will have to watch these highlights you mentioned it, as bad calls on review is disappointing for the game.
Otherwise I'm still behind in catching-up on watching completed games as it is (have eng/bangl on pause with eng batting theiir first few overs, hope the game went well and is entertaining)

I agree. Being a cricket umpire is a tough job.

Imagine that you have been on your feet in that searing heat for seven hours, the new ball has just been taken and the pacemen are getting it to swing and seam. Your job is to determine whether that wobbling ball delivered at 90+ mph has pitched outside the line, the impact was in line and if it would have gone on to hit the stumps. Then factor in the question of whether the batsmen might have got a feather edge on it. It’s not easy and they mostly get it right.

I think the standard of officiating is much higher in cricket and rugby than it is in football.

India v Pakistan tomorrow, quiet one…

I’ve thought the crowds have looked sparse but you forget how big the stadiums are over there

Youre first point it will be if Pakistan have the upper hand.On your second your right again the attendance in the England v New Zealand was said to be 47 and half thousand in a 132,000 stadium that attendance is half as much 50% more than what Lords holds.

They've finally managed to get all the England players wearing kit with the same font on the front and now they've messed up the name and numbers on the back.

Why is Afghanistan in this?
Why no sporting sanctions after their women's team has been abandoned?
Morally outrageous to allow the likes of Afghanistan and Iran to compete in any international sport.
