>>I think Leicester are pretty much an irrelevance. Even if they don't get another point, we have to win 2 of our last 3 to catch them.................and I think if we do that we'll be safe whatever.<< Check the table again, Robert. They're two points ahead of us, same number of games played. One win would put us ahead of them.
>>The real reasons for the pathetic performance were the greed and stupidity of the administrators in expecting these players to keep traveling all over the world and playing nonstop cricket. They're dead on their feet.<< Agree that the adminsitrators of English cricket are greedy and stupid, but in a different way. The crap standard of the county system is the root of our problem - that and a failure by the ECB to recognise that the premier competition in Cricket - the world cup - is the "slogball" version! One-day cricket has moved on through genuine innovators (eg Sri Lanka) - England still play the game as it was played in the 70s.
