A summer of short form cricket

I don't mind T20 though Test's are the best form of cricket - Limited over's internationals are good - though I hardly watch any domestic limited over cricket the 100 is just shambolic & a vehicle to get both mens & womens game on at the same venue on the same night - increase exposure / participation of womens game - MCC / Sky / BBC carbuncle of a game.

I appreciate the 100 isn't for everyone, and its certainly not my preferred format, but there are less exciting things to watch on a Friday night than Jos Buttler smashing it out of the ground for an hour.

I'm (fairly) sure you are being sarky but he actually managed to break his leg playing golf - Not sure how much alcohol has to be involved for this to happen.

He certainly hasn't looked that good out at the current IPL.

He played a couple of games for Yorkshire at start of last season but that was just to try and prove his fitness for the ashes (didn't do a lot in Yorks games - 1 good catch, and he looked pondorous in warm ups as if his leg was still giving hi problems.

I did see him at Headingley last year. Stayed at the hotel as was going to a gig in Leeds. It was a boiling hot day, Headingley was far from busy, but we couldn't sit in the seats in front of our hotel room without a match ticket (the door was locked and the windows wouldn't even open) so we sat and watched him bat in the boiling heat in front of a pain of glass until we had enough and literally closed the curtains.

Couldn't you just walk into a normal seat as there is no security checking tickets once through turnstile (which you got through to get to hotel)

I know a bloke who stayed in hotel on site for a few years for matches and he always whinged abiout balcony doors not opening. Never got a reason why he couldn't apart from the classic cop out of health and safety
