<Warning: sarcasm alert>
In a major revamp of their selection process they are to appoint selectors who will actually go to watch county cricket.
Whatever next? Consider spectators when scheduling games?

Fake News. You've been watching Russia Today again.

There's more news on RT than the BBC.
Probably more cricket coverage too.

There are four vacancies at present for non-exec directors of the ECB (I presume that includes the post vacated in protest last week by Mr Nash of Somerset). I wonder if Nat has considered applying??

Nope. A non-exec is only there to empty the boardroom drinks cabinet, hoover up the canopes and mess about with the secretaries.
Hang on a minute ...

Nathaniel! Can't 'mess with' anyone nowadays. Corporate Governance is a high priority. What's the going rate for an ECB NED?

Actually I've been in a deep sleep since 1970. I've just woken up and have been catching up on the news.
What the **** has been going on?!

Well just after you went to sleep Essex looked like they might finally win something at cricket, but kept losing their nerve in August just as it was about to happen. Then one day in July 1979 they went to Lord's. And after that they won lots. We had about 20 years of a world class opening bat dominating county bowling and lots more trophies followed, including six championships. After 13 years of success a decline set in,the guy who had run the club in its most successful period died and a number of good young players left to go elsewhere.
Form time to time there was a good run in the one day competitions but the old Essex of out grounds and festival weeks started to decline and fade away. They put floodlights in at Chelmsford and started playing very short games at night whilst selling lots of beer. The team drifted into the second division of the four day championship (that all happened whilst you were asleep) and the people who had witnessed the six championships thought they'd never see another one. The ECB ( a sort of modern MCC but without the class) seemed hellbent of playing more and more night games and getting rid of teams like Essex but then out of the blue a team mainly born in the county won the title again. And your boy was one of that team.
The End

Slogger. Best post of the year.

Nice reply but I get my news from the Daily Mail. What's all this stuff about political correctness?!

Good article. Graves <=> Putin?
ECB committee members should be careful of the sandwiches and canopes.

So now the ECB is threatening to sue George Dobell (Cricinfo reporter) for defamation.
It's all kicking off.
