Polly sums up so much about the level of investment and support of the game that hasn’t been solved by simply having Tier 2 status. Questions do have to be asked on if the structure of the competitions and finals are right.

Some serious question have to be asked of the ECB and their decision to automatically promote counties into Tier 1 over the next 2 years and neither of them are based on performances in the previous years. Something really isn’t right about it.

Middlesex take the Tier 2 Blast Title! A well and truly dominating performance by Middlesex today. Winning both the Semifinal and Final by 10 wickets! And yet they will be stuck in Tier 2 next season

This is just so wrong. Shouldn’t be able to be playing in two finals day in the same weekend.

Don’t shout at me but batting these days is way easier than 20/25 years ago! Probably twice as hard back then! Waqar, Shoaib, Akram, Mushtaq, Kumble, Srinath, Harbhajan, Donald, Pollock, Klusener, Gough, McGrath, Lee, Warne, Gillespie, Bond, Vettori, Cairns, Vaas, Murali,…

More time wasting from India here. Guaranteeing there will only be 2 overs before lunch by losing wickets! Shocking behaviour really, and totally against the spirit of cricket. #ENGvINDTest #INDvsENGTest #cricket

Benjamin Andrew Stokes!! Century and 5fer in same Test match Adds he name to a special list of England players to do it Tony Greig Ian Botham Gus Atkinson #ENGvsIND #bbccricket

In Zak We Trust!!!

So @121intervcoach Most clubs go electronic now, but nothing beats a good old fashioned book. And @pollystarkie04 is right you’ve got to use the coloured pens!

I’m sorry but Pant coming out to bat with a broken foot is absolutely beyond foolishness It’s not brave or clever. #ENGvIND #bbccricket

Durham in Dark Blue, Lancashire in Dark Blue, Umlires in a Dark Purple! Someone hasn’t thought about the colour clash here. Will someone think about these things. Just think of poor @pollystarkie04 & @121intervcoach having to commentate on this!!

Time booked off and tickets purchased already! Looking forward to this one.

Not sure I like this Lancashire playing in Blue!!

13 days to book a Doctors appointment!! This is a bloody joke, as if I knew 13 days ago I wasn’t going to be well

Since when have premier inn mattresses been so firm. Feel like I’ve been kicked in my ribs all night.
