And Mullaney bowling seam at 59 mph - yawn....yeah he's really gonna make it into the England squad ay????????
Pase off the ball is an accepted technique in limited overs cricket especially in English conditions. Look at Morris for Surrey this year steamed in bowled fast and got smashed around. Every team will want a trundeler whether it is the current system or franchise.
So, Mullaney for England then ??!!!!!
Nope of course not. But will he get a franchise gig. Of course.
Those people using Football as the example as to why they don't believe it would benefit Englnad are missing one HUGE point.... That most clubs in the Prem play with very few English players nowadays, whereas in T20 Franchise teams there would be a minimum of 7 English-qualified players playing.
Yes a minimum of 7, which is 2 less per team than currently, plus less teams which means less English players.
but Canters, you miss the point, about 7 more than a Prem team. You cant seriouslt tell me that if they cant get into a 7 of a 10 (lets say) Franchise team that they could be challenging for England ??!!! (thats 70 players btw)
Not but the counterfactual should not be premier league football. It should be the t20 system as it is..
So to use your example that's 70 players in 10 teams. So 2 less per team than under current rules and 4 less teams than the current system that's 36. So a total of 56 less English players playing in the English t20..
Good for English cricket.
Of course its good for England cricket !! - notice i say England cricket - because we have already said that we want the new Franshise tourno to improve England. Having the likes of the 'trundlers and nurdlers' not playing means we discard the dross and raise the level one notch. It cant improve English cricket by having the trundlers keep coming in 67 mph - how can it ??

It's not just the number that concerns me. It's the make up of that number. Contracts will go to decent experienced county pros that will never play for England and the young players will miss out.

Maybe, but he'd have to be one of the better trundlers - and for sure, he'll get deposited out of the ground by the likes of Kohli, Gayle,ABDV.

Absolute not - can you imagine the likes of Currans not being picked for Stevens and Masters? - of course not.
oh well , the good news is that Notts beat the cheating Essex, but it was a poor,poor game played by 2 poor teams in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Nuff said.

But 2/3 years ago before they had made a first team appearance would a franchise have picked them? No chance. Yet they both made their debut in that tournament and their performances were so good that they forced their way into all formats and are now established county players. You are taking out that route into first team cricket. I think it will be damaging.
I think the best thing is all t20 in a block in the middle of the summer, the international team to have a break at the same so England players are available and chuck in finals day at the Olympic stadium if you want. But keep it as the county system.
Pres we are never gonna agree on this so I am gonna leave it there. I have said my piece as have you, we are both cricket fans and both want the best for cricket but see it happening in different ways.
You many think I am sticking my head in the sand or getting in the way of progress. Personally I think change is needed but not that change.
I like you (on here at least) you seem like a good guy. I'd like to have a drink with you one match this season. But there is no point rehashing the same stuff over and over.

Agree mate - we'll have a beer at The Oval this season - lets make sure of it. Or even a Charlton away game.

This debate reminds me of the one that Rugby had about going professional a few years ago. The people who complain about the lack of County involvement will quickly reflect the numbers who think rugby players should go back to working the 9-5.
T20 finals day at Edgbaston - first game is Northants v Notts - Northants were 15-3, but Ben Ducket made a brilinat 84 of 46 balls and ended up on 161 - Notts currently 107-7 need 55 off 34 balls.
