Domestic fixtures out today. I thought the all new fixture list was supposed to make sense.
Surrey have 10 days of cricket out of the 31 available in August - 6 of which are 50 over games (only 1 of which is at a weekend)
Whereas when the World Cup is on they have a breathless schedule of 4 day cricket Sunday to Wednesday and a 20/20 on Friday evening for7 weeks on the trot
And nice of the suits at SCCC not to have a single weekend 20/20 game to attract the younger audience, yet again. I know the corporate post-work crowd pays the bills but it would be nice to have one on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon now there are 7 home games. Still I'm sure when we are battling with Gloucs for the wooden spoon and we sign Tendulkar for a month, the money will be spent
