[Mackenzie]

The Hampshire Pombears.

What a load of ****.

 

[Titanic]

 

[Chicken Run]

What a crock of sh1t

 

[blue-shifted]

Quick. We'd all better make sure that we learn the words to "I gotta feeling" so that we can get down the Rose Bowl and support our region

 

[Gazwag]

Don't have a team - not interested

I assume the team songs are a crodoism, but I'm not so sure

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Theme songs announced at the same time as names and kits?

Confirms it as the shit I assumed it would be

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I think there can be no more damning indictment of this competition than that it has a Crodonilson trolling thread.

 

[Justice]

I thought this thread was about the tv show The 100 with the fit sorts

 

[Milano]

A load of shite. T20 wasn’t broken. What won’t these boardroom wankers do at the request of TV?
Why are there 2 teams in London, yet **** all west of Hampshire? (Cardiff meh).

 

[Bozza]

Disappointed Garth Crooks doesn't seem to be included. Still time, I guess.

 

[Common as Mook]

Who is Alec Scott playing for?

 

[amexer]

What a load of crap. Because of vast sums marketing, sure will have an audience in first year but doubtful after. ECB just trying to kill County game which is proved by half of games played in April,May and September. Our 20/20 competition has taken off and most grounds have record crowds.
England captain Morgan said much needed because 20/20 not easy to understand. Whole thing is a joke.England players have to play in this but have a job to play for Counties in other formats

Has T 20 been ditched?

 

[Gazwag]

I didn't realise teams would have men and women playing for them, bit unfair to have Joffra bowling at 90 miles an hour to a women isn't it or a women bowling to Stokes.

Or have I misunderstood what is on the BBC website

 

[Gazwag]

Who is Alec Scott playing for?

Everybody

 

[A1X]

It's almost so bad it's compelling. It's going to be such a massive car crash.

 

[Gazwag]

Nice of Kevin Pietersen to sponsor the Oval Invincibles

Well. Clearly because the wealthy test staging grounds want to make sure they get a slice of the pie and want to make sure cricketing backwaters like Somerset and Essex (our best two county teams) are nowhere near it.

This is Level Boss Crodoism right here.

I'm sure there's a fabulous Crodoism in the OP but I just can't quite place it.


It feels like I've done all but one answer to The Times crossword in 4 mins 30 secs and the Countdown Clock has started.
