Cricket Moment to Forget: Yorkshire CCC 2nd XI vs. Sussex 2nd XI. On the boundary ran in for a catch too far, ran back, and then managed to make some horrible "flop" and drop a sitter!

Opinons On Cricket: I think 20/20 is a great way to reach the population and draw in crowds. However we need to move away from 40 over domestic competitions and play more 50 over games in order to work towards a more successful England ODI team and succeed at the next world cup.
