Dont you think our crickers have got 'worse' since we started giving out central contracts to the top players.
They now play very little county cricket and most of them are not 'match fit'

Originally posted by spurs73Agreed, the national setup has far to much control over when and where the contracted players play. I don't think that is in the best interest of the game either at county level or the national team. Sure, don't overwork them but they should get the miles in so to speak.

Now it seems to have gone the other way, with the contracted players hardly playing of their county sides.
also we have so many test matchs now. I remeber when i was young.. i could remember all of the teat match results etc.. now there is so much i can hardly keep up with it all
then of course it could be because i am now OLD😵😵😵
