It does seem like England have a mental block when playing in Australia. Some locations (like Melbourne & Adelaide do have a European feel & climate. However we just can't seem to adapt to the culture when we go out there
What do we currently think about the T20 tour of India atm? I don't understand how half / three-quarters of that squad can go there and perform for the IPL but when they play there for England, they seem / look out of ideas?
I also don't understand why they haven't tried something new in the team? Once you've faced the same bowling attack, are you just hoping they will come good? OR is it a sign that McCullum doesn't think he has depth in the squad to do that?
Bucks CCC 2025 fixtures. The showcase game will be Northants away, on a Sunday this year, when Bucks will be attempting three wins against first class teams in four years. 'Championship' are three day games.
Alexei Kervezee takes over as captain from Tom Hampton, who has retired from the county game.
In other news, Dan Lincoln has joined High Wycombe as their new captain. Dan is the England NCCA captain, and has played as goalkeeper at a high non-league level, with Dorking Wanderers and Slough Town amongst his recent clubs. Aadi Sharma, the 18 year old highly promising Northants 2nd XI batter, has also joined High Wycombe.
Something else to ask, shall we have a Gasroom T20 night? Tickets have just been released for the T20 games and we could go to the Oval or Lords to see a game if there's interest?

Yes, its a bit infuriating for sure

Actually, I'm really hoping some Gasroomers turn up at Northants on 21st July, to cheer Bucks on!
If I hadn’t moved north I’d have been at Didcot on 15th June - that’s where I lived for 11 years! Would’ve been supporting Oxfordshire mind…
