Am I the only one saddened by the fact that the name that appears on the list doesn't include our proper name, but only by a nickname which isn't unique to us as it's shared by others including Chicago, Bristol etc?

Apologies. That came over as overly pedantic.

Don't like them, they go too soft.

Does anyone think that if they are used the new ball threshold of 110 overs needs to be reduced in County Cricket to the 80 used in Tests?

I have to say that the CC live stream (or 'live rain' as the girlfriend calls it) has been one of the best things to happen to red ball County Cricket in the last few years. I always have the stream on a spare monitor at work, and wouldn't mind production values which don't go beyond two static cameras. I wouldn't mind ads at the end of every other over. I grew up watching matches 'live' on CEEFAX so this is a massive improvement.
