Do these jokers ever get anything right?
The England and Wales Cricket Board have declined to give us a game against the Aussies next year, saying we got one against a touring side this time around. This despite the fact that we've not had a game against them since 1997 (when we won) and every other County will have played them at least twice in that period.
It's things like this that create and maintain the "them and us" feeling that we've had for years and it is, quite frankly both unacceptable and a joke.
I fully understand and support the club's official complaint on the matter and hope it may result in a rethink. I'll believe it when I see it though, because my impression of the suits at Lords is that they're marginally less effective than those running Scottish football at present who insist Rangers play seven games in eighteen days. As my old man told me years ago - cricket is the best game in the world but its ruined by the ones who run it. Hang your heads in shame!
You would think that with our record against NZ and Australia in last few years that the ECB would think it good to see them lose a warm up game.
ReplyDeleteBut then again this is the ECB we are talking about....
Pathetic
