A much weakened Surrey side again. Not against new ventures like the 100 but they should be arranged to not affect the County teams. Surrey and the likes of the Yorkies have less chance in this comp than most.

I am a Durham supporter and apart from losing Ben Stokes and Mark Wood to the test side we have also lost three players to the hundred and unfortunately they are all bowlers so we'll have to see how good our reserve bowlers are

I've just had a look at all the county scores and all of the teams seem to be stuffed full of players that I've never heard of so it looks like the 100 is affecting all counties

I would like to see a breakdown of how many players from each county are involved. Surrey have at least 10 I think. Some counties have much less which will give them an advantage in the 50 over. Sure everyone is affected but to what extent? Whinging over Surrey I know:D This comp would have been our best chance of winning something.

Yorkshire skittled in less than 35 over for 165 so Surrey still have a chance of having a good start.

Someone posted this on the Surrey forum yesterday but I’ve no idea how accurate it is.

Derbyshire (3): Luis Reece, Matt Critchley, Leus du Plooy

Yorkshire (10): Adil Rashid, David Willey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Adam Lyth, Matt Fisher, Harry Brook, Jordan Thompson, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow

Ta. So the likes of Northants and Essex hardly affected at all.

Yeah & I wonder if there is a fairly direct correlation between those Counties least affected by The Hundred & those who would struggle the most (financially) without T20 - Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Northants, Worcestershire, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire. Essex & Hants are outliers to some extent. I’m struggling to analyse these numbers - someone like spike would be able to comment knowledgeably, I’m sure.

A game missing Roy, Burns, Curran, Curran, Pope, Plunkett, Rashid, Willey, Root, Malan and Bairstow

Yes the two most affected counties playing each other.

on that basis Surrey C team have done brilliantly against Yorkshire C team today.

Bowling Yorkshire out for 165, Surrey are currently 45-0 after 11 overs.



I would say Kent have been affected but they have mostly lost batsman to this tournament and I can see why no bowlers got picked Durham got 405-4 in 50 overs.

Another good performance from Atkinson

Yes, he’s made good progress this year so far.

But let's be frank. It's a very low bar

Good to see the rest of the CC fixtures released today.

10:30am starts in the middle of September? Win the toss & bowl….

And we will wonder why we can’t produce a test side that can score more than 300.

The vast majority of 4 day cricket played in April and early May and then September/early October.

How on earth are you supposed to produce test batsmen in those conditions.

Fully expect a whitewash in Australia this winter.

Money talks though and the only way to get franchise cricket in the U.K. like the BBL and IPL is to slightly change the format so that county sides can’t kick off about it.

The hundred is crap, it’s just 20/20 cricket with 20 less balls each innings and weird rules on bowling 10 deliveries in a row. Absolute bollocks

Ryan Patel had his beans this morning.

Just smashing sixes non-stop

Sixes and then some. :)
