So, now it's time for the Pioneers Day movie. American actor hired, emotional content ramped up ... take a moment in your day to settle down with a cuppa for just 1 min 49 seconds and press PLAY. See you on Saturday 💙

Another pointless, sparsely attended, moribund England game in the depths of September. Like so many this year. Keeping growing the game, ECB

What an awful summer of cricket. The Ben Stokes ego show in a home defeat for the first part and then the worst touring side of all time for the second part. Packed either side of a soulless franchise tournament that I didn’t watch a minute of.

I enjoy the Hundred but inane crap doesn’t work … and never has
The smug and jabbering comm on the Hundred reached a pathetic nadir last night as commentators asked cringing questions of the wicketkeeper while the ball was in play - twice the batsman turned round to see what the jabbering was about as the bowler was on his approach - then they all jabbered after the ball was hit. It is preening nonsense, no reference to the actual play.

Stuff the HUNDRED. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Total Farce.
Joe Moores has been selected by London Spirit as an injury replacement for the remainder of The Hundred. Moores will be unavailable for the Club's upcoming matches in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. 🔗 cricket.lancashirecricket.co…

Another reason not to watch the Hundred. Keep them coming lads.

Remarkably the H*ndred has managed to become an even bigger laughing stock than it was before. It’s out of control and cricket as we love it in this country is evaporating before our eyes. #OpposeTheHundred
Manchester is a city synonymous with sport, passion, and legacy. As the #SuperGiants family grows globally, our presence in @thehundred reflects a long-term commitment to become part of the sporting culture and conscience of this great city. The @ManchesterSG100 identity represents this belief and ambition. @josbuttler @mandhana_smriti @Heini22 #MegLanning @Sophecc19 @noor_ahmad_15 #LiamDawson @JamesSheridan14

So sad seeing the One Day Cup final played in front of an empty Trent Bridge in miserable, grey autumnal conditions. This used to be county cricket’s showpiece event - a massive occasion in front of a packed Lords’. I have nothing but contempt for the ECB & their ruinous Hundred.

We downgraded 50 over cricket almost immediately after striving so hard to be World Champions. Now look at us.

It's almost like @englandcricket have picked an entire team of players for a 50-over match who never play any 50-over cricket. #OpposeTheHundred

Who would have thought that England’s ODI batsmen would get themselves out cheaply after playing the Hundred for the last month???

So true Huw. A brilliant series concertinaed giving players no time to recover at the detriment of Test cricket - so that a one day game takes precedence at the height of the summer in the school holidays… 👀
This is why the modern Test schedule is not fit for purpose. Sides should be fielding their strongest XIs, i.e Bumrah, Archer etc. The rest period between England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v India 🇮🇳 4th and 5th Tests totally inadequate. What are we doing to Test cricket? Utter folly

🚨We are not giving up easily! 🚨 We have now established that the final blocker to releasing more tickets to the Southend United Football Club final this Saturday is purely down to Wembley Stadium. Here is an open letter we have sent to the FA’s and Wembley’s CEO.
