@Nick_Metcalfe Southampton - I mean Hedge End - doesn’t have the transport infrastructure to stage an Ashes test. The delayed start for the recent T20 with India because of traffic said it all. Even with a hotel this rather soulless bowl has no charm or character either.
@WardyShorts Sky man bangs ECB drum shock. A format and franchises so forgettable, I can’t remember anything about the last 5 years of 💯. Except it screws up the whole season. Why are the tests and county championship parked up for this? The T20 Blast is undermined and the One Day Cup lost.
@SkyCricket Makes me smile. Every year @skysports have to explain who’s playing and what the rules are. If only @ecb_cricket promoted the T20 Blast and One Day Cup in the same way. To think Test cricket and Div 1 & 2 are parked up for this fag-end format, forgotten the next day. 🤷♂️
@sportingintel The turd place play-off. The more England score, the angrier you get. Where was this against Argentina, Thomas? Or is it that France have just surrendered? Again.
@JackPittBrooke@David_Ornstein@OliverKay The German who surrendered to Argentina. We didn’t even go down fighting. Did he really understand what this fixture meant? Then blaming the English ‘DNA’ for his absymal tactics and substitutions. We got lucky to even make the last four. Then stunk out Atlanta like skunks 🦨
@NorthantsLegend@NorthantsCCC@ECB_cricket@VitalityBlast You forget that everything has to make way for the Hundred in the crazy world of @ECB_cricket. The Blast is undermined, the One Day Cup now lost and the County Championship put on ice. For a format no one else plays and the Indians will make T20 anyway.
@Sanny_Rudra So historic Lords is empty. And the England women’s performance as lamentable as last Sunday. The Stokes McCullum drama has been the cricket story of the summer. Huge. Fans have a right to know asap. Better to get angry about why adult tickets were £35 before the day 4 freebies.
@bbctms But Lords is empty. England will be lucky to make day 4. India and Australia have embarrassed them here twice in the last week in two formats. Brutally. The recent turmoil with Stokes and McCullum is a far bigger story. How about calling out NSB and her team first, Alex? 🤷♂️
@henrymoeranBBC It’s hard to think of another international cricket stadium so rail passenger unfriendly. Who wants to walk 30 mins from Hedge End station? Southampton Central is nearly 6 miles away & Parkway over 4. The stadium feels remote even with shuttle buses. A rather soulless bowl too.
@mattletiss7 Reporter does job, shock. Nothing to see here. Tuchel was clearly unhappy with the way the team played and was rightly picked up on it by @gabrielclarke05 but if you want banalities and platitudes give Kelly Somers the mic.
@paddypower But Raul Jimenez had a 14 out of 14 stutter penalty kick record in @premierleague and was 💯 % perfect. Nailed on - just like against England on Monday. Just stutter properly. Enjoy…🍿

@willis_macp This competition is the ruin of the summer. Sure some counties are awash with cash. But it feels like @ECB_cricket make @thehundred the centrepiece of the season. Who needs tests, T20, Div 1/2 when you have a format no one else plays and @skysports have to explain every year? 🤷♂️
