I would say the likes of Kent, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Lancashire and even Yorkshire are struggling. Worcestershire have returned to profit this year but they have stripped back their costs dramatically.

New instalment in the ever popular wrist spin bowling thread! Previous threads can be found at: http://www.bigcricket.com/community/threads/wrist-spin-bowling.27621 http://www.bigcricket.com/community/threads/wrist-spin-bowling-part-two.41774...

I echo the above. Without wanting to sound crass, I think that we should probably close this now as the topic and mood has understandably changed somewhat (however, I'll keep it open for a few more days). If you want to pass on your messages of support to Macca then I'm sure a private message...

That sounds like UK weather! It can be dry in one place and pissing down in the village next door.

It was fine for what it was.

It was an Aussie 2nd XI game at the WACA.

Closing this as it is just turning into a game of who can spam the most links..

Anyone catch the opening ceremony? I quite enjoyed it, especially the aerial cricket match played with a laser.

The fear is once again raised that an English county may go bust, especially in the current economic climate. The problem as I see it is that none of them will ever entertain the idea of change, unless it involved a bloated product or killing their cash cows. In some ways, losing a county...

Why not but you need to stick to one and work at it. Trying to do everything will get you in a mess at some point, keep it simple!

I've always been partial to this one: England's James Ormond had just come out to bat and was greeted by Australia's Mark Waugh: Waugh from the slips: "What are you doing out here? There's no way you're good enough to play for England." Ormond: "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player...

Look forward to seeing your around. We badly need some new blood so feel free to post!

What concerns me as much as anything else is that the number of tests played by each team are not equal. At the moment the big four of England, Australia, India and South Africa get the lion's share, with anything up to 14 tests per year. Compare that we the likes of New Zealand, Sri Lanka and...

We have the main contenders as being: Kenya - traditional top dogs but floundering of late Ireland - steady team, some decent players and able to spring a shock Scotland - much like Ireland, less strength though Netherlands - Somewhere between Ireland and Scotland Canada - Always there or there...

Warm up games underway with Sarwan and Guptill hitting tons. Not much else to report though.

Thanks guys, will bear all the info in mind.

I'm not sure if it's the movement sideways or the uneven bounce that would get me. Pretty insane that the game was allowed to carry on, especially even if it is only a 2nd XI game.

Cricket World is a conundrum, as you say they have the numbers and diversity but it's not always a great place to post. Would like to try something with youtube, not sure what or how it'll go but something will happen.

Wowsers, look at the cracks not to mention how much the ball is doing once it hits one. Would not want to bat on that track.

Ok, he turned the chance down but he was seriously pursued by the tories http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12416939. What other careers should other cricketers go for after they finish in the game. Obviously, Tendulkaar will be elevated to some kind of deity and Swann will become a ropey...
