@broges23@EdBevanCricket You're missing a bigger point, which is that most counties have been propped up by England money for many years. It's basically one business all pointing towards the national team. There was no need to sell anything off aside from for greed.
@becksjaynee I was also in an early Hundred meeting. The ECB representative said more children know who John Cena is than the England cricket captain. Didn't like my response about merchandising and children largely not buying broadsheet newspapers!
Five weeks of lauding Messi as a football genius all to fail to play football in the final with the world watching. Argentina have been terrible. All the more infuriating we lost to this.

@mohanstatsman Actually that's not true. The story goes the Argentinians chose a ball in the first half which was Scottish. The second half ball chosen by the Uruguayans was English. However only the first half ball has ever been retrieved, and it's in the football museum in Manchester.
