Make the scoreboard a part of the building. Instead it just looks as if a big screen has been plonked down on a bit of spare space.

The scoreboard needs uncluttering (if that word exists). It is a jumbled mess - surely committee members must look at it sometimes. Why do we need the run rate shown in CC games? Why show when last wkt fell and how big the partnership is? I could go on.

Install a sightscreen that can slide into position made of the material that allows those behind i.e. dressing rooms to see through it. Far better than a piece of cloth.

Finally please please do something about the PA system. It is virtually impossible to understand what is being said.]]>

Seeing as his record against Jadeja in India reads 4 innings, out 4 times to Jadeja, I like this

Really were picking out of unproven players though so can't really argue a case for one over the other.]]>

Pretty much everyone he talked to had gone on to coach or commentate. Only Josh Lewsey (and Gail Emms who was being a mum) seemed to have made a career outside their sport. That can't be the general rule can it? There aren't that many coaching jobs around.

Anyway, worth a look if you have access to BBC i-player and might well be something that could be followed up by other programmes in the future.]]>
