Broad has bowled 21 overs and now is required to rest for the next match. What a ridiculous situation, we don't have a Test match for 3 months but a bloke can't bowl at most 40 overs in a match in mid-April?
Good that the ECB are restricting fans seeing international players but at least they'll all play in the franchise cup in a few years time.
Will they?
From what I've read, there will only be 3 international stars per game (like the IPL), so as an aside, the question is who on earth will make up the bulk of each squad / match day line-up?
Also, the tournament will be run at the same time as the tests so the contracted England players will NOT play in the City Circus.
City Circus.
Sounds like a white van man logistics company about to go bust any day now.
