what's happened?

Harry Gurney now wanting the Blast, the competition that made his career, ditched because of the "overwhelming success of The Hundred".

Poor start with the ball. Their openers looking very comfortable.

Just seen that Gurney tweet. Absolutely raging now.

Just kill off the 10 counties who are relying on the blast, pathetic .

When asked how people would manage to get a gig for the franchises he claimed they'd be picked up from club cricket. Absolute clown.

Oh yeah, the Hundred coaches will be giving their Saturday afternoons up to watch the Birmingham Premier League, won't they?

Judging from the antics of Lilley and Mike, we could win this and end up with a point deductions

Glamorgan have flunked it.

Yep, we were right on the edge of a disciplinary and points deduction, same players not learning 

[Lako42]

Getting smacked by proper tailenders

 

 

[Lako42]

Won but doesn't really matter unfortunately 

[HaroldBazBo]

Weird season.

 

Poor starts in both white ball comps buy not far away in either.

Respectable finishes in both, in the end ... well compared to the last few years anyway ... 6th in the T20 and 4th in the One Day Cup.

 

Feels like we're not just cannon fodder any more.

Ahmed looks a very good prospect, could be a taylor made replacement for Rashid in a few years time.

So how did we not qualify for the quarters?

They aren't true quarter-finals with eight teams- the top three in each group went through so second and third play each other then the first placed teams start in the semi-finals.

Seems ridiculous to me when so little county cricket in August. Why bother slimming down the qualification numbers in the one day trophy? 

 

I mean just go with top 4 in both groups. Give teams something to strive for.

I think there are the Blast final rounds after the one day finals. Sadly it’s the penalty for not qualifying for either
