They do want 8 centres. That was what Strauss was aiming for
How can you grow cricket and inspire youth when the 100 is in 8 centres and huge swathes of the country are unable to go and watch live
The current England stars never or very rarely play country cricket , t20 nor the 100
How is...
I’m talking about the youth in England not playing
Not people with an interest to attend
Ten, 15 years time will see if the ECB was right to sideline red ball cricket to concentrate on white ball which the kids love
That is my point here
They are actively looking to have 8 centres of cricket...
Of course stokes can do wrong and Robinson is being a complete idiot
All I’m trying to make overseas cricket lovers aware of is the test match cricket is dying in England so all the hype and rubbish being spouted is what the youth in the uk like
I hate it all personally but if this was not...

They are fuming still about a declaration and bazball
It’s imo aimed at getting the youth in the uk engaged as they are not currently and cricket will end at test level in the uk if they are not inspired
It’s aimed at youngsters and an old sweat like me can be outraged...
I was not indicating anything but you could call those teams as i did as they were the captains at those times
It’s just made up media theme to try and attract fans to English cricket
It’s no sleight on how cricket is played around the world but in England we have a real problem with the young...
Looking back over the years, you have imranball for the 92 World Cup tigers
Lloydball for the West Indies era
Waughball for the Aussies
Tenball for sachins era
It’s just the media trying to be cool and hip
England
:grinning:
It’s just trying to play as if it’s an odi or t20 in a five day format
Of course Bazball sounds sexy and I get it but I’m an old bloke and like mccullum I don’t like it
One thing I know for certain. The term Bazball is completely in the heads of a lot of non England fans
It’s a media generated term which McCullum hates
Excellent post. I think the declaration point is covering up for some horrendous wicket keeping , other fielding and broad taking Khawaja with a no ball
even though it’s been said that most thought the declaration was wrong, it did all come down to a miracle 9th wicket partnership to get...
I’m shattered watching that I need this gap to recover
1687288225
Not by England fans as that is the all in method the team have accepted to play
It will happen again. And let’s be fair it took a minor miracle 9th wicket partnership to win
If buts and maybes but an all time great test...
I think if Khwaja goes in the first hour, whenever rain permits , England win
If he bats for three hours , I think the Aussies win
Whatever happens this is test match cricket at its best
