Says a lot. We are fucked, on the whole.

Chawa sent to Tuskers. Steve given Mountaineers. Can we assume Chamu has finally retired then?

It's a 50 over straight into logan cup a couple of days later and they'll continue to alternate it like that, I believe. Not going to be easy to switch so quickly between formats.

Not sure when the T20's will be.

I'm curious about all the reshuffling of teams and who's going to be the Rocks coach.
It's all last minute stuff as usual. There are guys who still don't know whether they're playing or not, nobody seems to know what contracts they're on, and the rumour is they've reduced the contracts and increased the match fees. I think if you play all the games an A grade will get about $1400 before tax and they're only giving out 3 per franchise.
How are people supposed to survive?

NZ handing India a cricket lesson. Great to see.
Ravindra has been incredible.

ZC have had months to sort this franchise stuff. How do they leave it to the last minute every single time?
