FenlandRunner Oct 2020 6:44pm, 15 Oct 2020 4,978 posts	0 FenlandRunner Was that a betting scam, latest IPL match? Going on hitting some overs for 20 then goes down to the last ball (after needing something easy like 17 from three overs). Which is hit for six.

rf_fozzy Oct 2020 1:55pm, 18 Oct 2020 11,886 posts	0 rf_fozzy Totally new structure for County Championship next year. bbc.co.uk I'm actually not that bothered by this, because I don't think the old 1 division format, nor the two division more recent format was working. I think the Bob Willis Trophy showed that building to a showcase final, like they do in American Sports, actually resulted in better cricket in most of the games. Despite the weather. That latter point is likely to be the biggest issue of course - the claim of fairness if teams get lots of games washed out. I'd also have liked to see them scrap the 100 nonsense and possibly controversially added the idea of a reserve day to the CC - so that if say >~50% of a day is washed out, there's more chance to get play in.
