Re: england cricket

I think we should be playing more county cricket in the summer.

However I agree using the Kookaburra early season should be something that is seriously looked at.

By changing to ball it should improve bowlers skills and thought and also prepares batsman to construct a long innings reflective to what is needed in the test arena.

There would be no place for the likes of 75mph dobblers in the first class game.

And then along comes the Duke ball mid season and no one can play it. It would be much better if one ball was specified for use and everybody told to use it.

Lets see who play it best in June.

England who use it.

Or NZ who dont.

My money is on the kiwis.

Yes ,thinking about it, just use the kookaburra, as clearly the current set up needs looking at.

The weather would be a big factor, but if the pitches were kept pretty dry and fines for substandard wickets more rigorously enforced, I think you could play with the Duke ball in August and September when, hopefully, typical county seamers would have to do more than just “put it there” to get their wickets and you may see spinners playing more of a part.
