Such a shame that the Kingsmead crowd is so poor. I get that Durban isn’t the best of grounds and often weather disrupted, but still #SAvAUS.. .cc @PoppingCreaseSA

Bold words from the chair of an organisation which actively approved the registration of Scott Kuggeleijn just a month ago, in defiance of its own regulations regarding players who adversely affect "the best interests, image or reputation" of county cricket.

"The ECB has an overriding discretion to refuse to grant a registration in respect of any given Cricketer where [...] the grant of such registration adversely affects (or is likely to adversely affect) the best interests, image or reputation of Competitive County Cricket, the ECB or cricket generally, including but not limited to where the Cricketer in question is the subject of any allegations, investigations or charges by the ECB, ICC, another ICC Member Country, police or other law enforcement body relating to any doping, corruption or criminal offence or any other serious misconduct."

Richard Thompson has said that ECB will think "very carefully" before granting English players NOCs for the planned Afghanistan Premier League after backlash - with doubts emerging as to whether it will even happen Story @cricinfo cricinfo.com/story/ecb-hints…

ECB hints at NOC u-turn even as APL doubts emerge

ECB chairman Richard Thompson appeared to partially row back on the board's stance, though he suggested the board are wary of restricting players' movements unlawfully.

Yeah that’s not surprising. Not the first time Carse has been in front of the regulator either. Obviously the CDP makes the final decision on things, but that’s an awful look for an English international cricketer.

The problem is that it will never change. Very few state schools have the ability to host a decent pitch, let alone pay for equipment which is getting more expensive every year. The private schools know their pitch to any family who has a talented child cricketer.

And of course many of the parents have come from a semi privileged background, so if they can afford it, then they will. There was very little chance of making it as a cricketer when I was a teen in the 90’s. Virtually zero chance these days..

And for the record, I played club cricket until I was around 35, but wasn’t that good. Flitted between 2nd & 1st teams in a competitive league in SE London/Kent. No amount of private school coaching would’ve have made me Stuart Broad 😂

ECB pitch inspector Andy Mackay is conducting a thorough examination of this pitch at Headingley alongside groundsman Richie Robinson. Mackay here after match officials expressed concern over surface.

I don't miss many in Cardiff but mid September ffs, price could be a lot lower and the fixture didn't whet the appetite with me, nor many many more. Game like this could have been better off in Bristol.

Nowhere near a sell out in Cardiff..#ENGvSL. Price, fatigue or just the result of a series that hasn’t exactly gripped the public?

Or the Lord’s Test pitch against NZ? It’s clear where the ECB’s loyalties lie and it’s not with smaller counties trying to produce a pitch after a a very dry summer with little money..

It wasn’t just a poor pitch, it was obviously intentional (bald at both ends and ridiculously long in the middle) and the uneven bounce was dangerous.

What a ridiculous rule. Did anyone else know that you automatically lose any points gained for a ‘poor pitch’?? First I’ve heard of it and I bet if it was at a Test match county that would never happen 🤦🏻‍♂️
Will Macpherson@willis_macpSep 16
Brutal: Leicestershire deducted 27 points for preparing a pitch rated as "poor" for the Championship match against Glamorgan. They lose the 19 points they earned in the game, plus an 8-point penalty. A further 8 point deduction is suspended until next year. They can appeal...

Well Alastair Cook should know. Most clueless English captain since KP.. bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…

England vs Pakistan: Alastair Cook and Michael Vaughan question Joe Root tactics in Razaullah...

England had “no plan” and were “out of control” in the face of Razaullah’s stunning hitting on the third day of the final Test against Pakistan, according to former captain Alastair Cook.
