Not got much time, but this crept up on me so - thread. Go nuts.
Durham against a full-strength Lanky attack doesnae look pretty.

Robinson stood down for Sussex to join the England bubble. Good news for Kent, not so much for some fantasy teams...

21 wickets at Northants today. Not sure that ever happened at Ciderabad before we lost points...

The whole BWT born out of necessity could offer the ECB a genuine option to reducing cc in the future, 3 groups by geography, 10 matches a year instead of 14 or 16, top 3 and best placed 2nd play semi final and final knockouts like the shef shield. Wonder how many counties would buy into it? For those on the extremes of the country a massive reduction in travel, guaranteed derbies for local rivals..... Cant imagine many would lose that much financially from fewer games and more time for white ball stuff....

I'm keen on't. Apart from anything else it means smaller clubs wouldn't haemorrhage their players to the chance to play against better opposition. Needs seeding for the groups otherwise they'll be unbalanced and certain clubs will barely play each other. They've broken Rushworth.

It's an interesting one, take the North group now, all D2 and D2 bound yorks were the real thing being played.... But... Historically you'd look at Notts, Durham, yorks, lancs as being strong counties and a potentially tough group. Can't decide if I'm for it or against it, obvious pros and cons

On the other hand.... South looks strong both now a d historically and central looks dogga.

Meanwhile, Kent are 500/1 with two double centurions. Sussex probably not loving that in this heat.

Got to declare at 120 overs.... Hmmm bit of a fan of that rule in principle if I'm being honest, maybe 120 a bit too few, but something to work with

Darren Stevens working his magic on a flat pitch in hot weather in the middle of summer? Thought he could only do it on an overcast day in April...

Sussex toasted by an innings, having taken only one wicket in the entire game as Kent ran up 530/1. There must be some metric under which that ranks as the biggest loss ever?

Purely from a fantasy cricket perspective, I am sick to the back teeth of Ryan Higgins.

Some big scores in the fantasy with favourites like Higgins and harmer racking up the points.
