BPL

Ravi and RTD have apparently signed to play in Bangladesh this November but are being advised not to go by their players' union due to security fears. Why on earth are England going? I don't have a lot of time for Morgan but perhaps he's got this one right.

The security around a national team is going to be a lot tighter than that for a domestic team.

Don't think I'd want to be on the decoy coach.

It seems that the BBC are not giving the usual coverage either. I can find no mention of Fridays ODI being on 5 live sports extra where it would normally be. Perhaps some of the commentators also declined to go or are Talk sport covering it?

Indeed. I bet there are certain players/coaches that certain posters might volunteer for the job...

Darren Stevens is a shoo-in for this comp.

Given what happened last time he must be bomb proof.  ;D

Indeed how he's not been banned from the game is beyond me. It was a shocking state of affairs. What is it about Kent and cheating?

After 'that match' at Old Trafford in 1991 and 'that Pakistani Leggie' you could say the same about us...

TMS are covering the Test Matches but didn't agree a fee quickly enough to be able to cover the ODIs.
