Obvious political statement from the counties showing rightful disrespect to franchise cricket.
More 20/20 games will dilute the franchise crowds which I would back as the correct stance.
It was only 3 years ago that Sussex, Somerset and Surrey along with us as the main leader wanted more 20/20 as we were rather good at filling our grounds and the other counties repelled us.
Incidentally, I was at the Oval for there last 20/20 and the members do not want franchise cricket, they are more than happy with watching full houses at Surrey CCC.
