I think with test cricket its rare to get everyone available for selection. Derbyshire did play well and could been different story if LBW was given before going off for rain. I do think with 20/20 the toss has been huge mainly because of weather. It also key as team setting a score to start quick and in the last two games Derbyshire have struggled. I hope that when Wes is back we start with him and Hughes as think this Derbyshire best chance of winning a game from batting 1st. I still think John Sadler not sure best opening combination. I think you can take quite few positive from the last two games.<br /><br />I do think the Cricket fixtures need reviewing. It maybe me but I just can't get into one format and swap the next day and swap again. It doesn't seem to flow atall. How can 20/20 specialist settle into his game? In championship you may hit hundred next game you playing 20/20 must be nightmare for players to find form and preform to the best. <br /><br />Suggestion - 20/20 is golden goose for makes money for counties alongside ECB money. I would make all England International 20/20 available this will attract more players and more sponsors if teams like Yorkshire can field 8 internationals. Is there cap at moment on Overseas of 2 at moment? I would play all cricket in massive block from Late May have it Three day week Wed, Fri and Sunday. I would also have rule where you have to have 2 players who are homegrown and under 21. It would surely help alot players to play in pressure situations <br /><br />The Championship I love and is my favorite format by long way. I do think last couple season its been rather dull some sessions when listen or watching. I think intensity compared to test cricket has gone and is needed to attract people. I think game needs radical change to make it lot better. I would do format similar to Rugby league and make county championship halfway through becoming a knock out. I know for sure the intensity will be different. Please don't ask me how you would do it! <br /><br />Then have smaller groups for 50 over but have more of knockout format with Lord final. I can remember the excitement of B/H and I would put University and minor cricket teams in. I would also design a competition where there a National Club county team in. i really believe they need to change domestic games as my experience this season isn't good one. <br /><br />Anyway we see what ECB decides over next few years Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-79548288072902378972016-06-19T12:12:13.217+01:002016-06-19T12:12:13.217+01:00True, Anon, though if they could field that squad ...True, Anon, though if they could field that squad regularly they would have!
