It's not how it used to be that's for sure. However, there was a T20 on BBC2 last night which turned out to be a great game, and the ashes has been weird but exciting to watch (let's quietly not talk about the hundred shall we). The long overdue ICEC report has hopefully finally got it into the thick heads of various execs at the ECB, and local communities across the country, that the way the game in this country is run has to change. I'm hopeful of positive change in the next few years and I hope the game will become more accessible.
