I particularly enjoyed the bit where my attendance at museums or the theate was seen as relevant, but not whether I might consider attending a test match!

On the bright side, the ECB survey department have finally cottoned on to the idea that Bristol exists, so nice to not have to debate whether I live in Somerset or Gloucestershire. Still can't quite come to terms with just how much the 100 pisses me off though.

Apparently they have downgraded the 50over competition to a development competition from next season.

Absolutely mental.

Might as well have the courage of their convictions and just bin the 50 over stuff off to be honest. Kevin Pietersen's irony detector must be worn out by now!

Why not just an English IPL. Stump up some Sky prize money. Get the regional rivalry going. That would fly.

I think you missed the memo. But I reckon since the mid 80s sport has changed and elite sport is for the sole purpose of making money whether that be as an athlete or business exploiting the consumer!

Feel free to complete in the same constructive way I did...
https://ecb.tell-us-what-you-think.com/s3/review-survey

(Are you aware of the 100? Yes. What are your views on the 100? Waste of time, effort and money.)

Can only be completed on a laptop/desktop... that’s half the generation they are interested in out of completing it out then.
