VP will still be whining about Grayson and nat will have opined on many more cricketers he has never seen play - or, indeed, heard of

Seeing as he works on an exponential basis Larry will no doubt be stealing 4 wages in 2025.

Meanwhile at Chelmsford, demolition continues with the Tom Pearce stand the last to fall. Construction of the first of 8 new towers of flats, is well under way. Essex, being one of 10 former first-class but now minor counties, are playing their cricket on club grounds around the county, (the return of festival cricket pleasing some of the more long serving members). The British Big Bash has had no impact on the continuing decline in participation, but continues to make money for the players and the remaining first class grounds who, since the annual £1.3 million handouts ended, can keep it all for themselves.

Zager and Evans update

In the year 2035 , only eight counties survive , the rest fell by the wayside , people did not go , it became a billboard show .

In the year 2045 , County cricket did not survive , people OD'ed on OD bat and ball, three days to play, got it done in one day .

In the year 2055, Test cricket is no longer played, only the unemployed had the time , but could not afford the increasing dime .

In the year 2065, Can franchise cricket survive , 20/20 to long , need something shorter 10/10 all along .

In the year 2075 , No cricket survive, it is only played on gameboy , just a pictorial show on a devise , let's have a go .
