Fair to say that Graham Clark is having a decent RLODC.

A day for enormous opening partnerships, apparently. Durham, Worcestershire, Leics and the Trent Rockets.

Notts. 47/7 is not so great either.

Don't like the points per game thing after the covid cancellation.
It worked in football, but over 7/8 games, it's not very fair - if Worcestershire and Hampshire win their final games they finish on 9 pts from 8 games (1.13) while Gloucestershire finish on 8 from 7 (1.14) with a win. Their net run rate is far below Worcs & Hants, so in reality, they'd need to have beaten Middlesex too to finish above, but will be carried up there on a technicality with a win over Kent, who are bottom.
Don't see why match abandoned due to covid is any different to match abandoned due to rain - personally think it should be 1 point each and should have been that in the blast. It probably would have been rained off today anyway given how it went at the Oval!

Turns out all it takes for Durham to become good is for most teams to lose half their players! Who knew?

Understandably the teams that haven't lost many players have been most consistent.
Can you unlock the England v India thread now please. Assuming that was just a mistake and you do want to talk about the return of Moeen.

Obviously there are caveats but a Durham v Glamorgan final is a really fun result.

My heart revolts, but my head tells me that Durham are favourites for this game. Not at all sure how to deal with this.
They'll get hammered now, natch.

Super frustrating the way they've devalued what was otherwise a great tournament today...
Tournament for those not playing in the Hundred - but Raine and Potts are allowed in for the final. Then the final on a Thursday, 2 days after the second semi... set up to fail!
The tourney has been compact in recent years, but the final has been about 2 weeks later and at the weekend => packed house. This today is disappointing and totally avoidable! No county (or franchise, or international) cricket scheduled for Sunday, no brainer to have it then suuurely

RLODC has been designed to fail. 2 days notice as to who'd be in a final played on a Thursday.....
