Heard Andrew Hodd is joining the coaching team, good news if true.

More interesting, was that Paul Fabrace confirmed NO floodlights would be used during county championship matches !!

Exactly!
ECB claim very little extra cricket is played when the lights are on, before they come off . Also, it has nothing to with finances!
No one in attendance agreed with these comments.

Are we certain the no floodlights rule relates to this season? Or is it a proposal for 2025 onwards?
Lots of things regarding 2025 and beyond to be decided in the next few weeks.
I'd be really surprised if we had got to within a couple of days of the start of this season, with no mention of it anywhere in the cricket press.

Hope we don't get to the final match in September, needing a couple of points for promotion, with grey skies above. Okay, bad light might save us from a loss, but there again, it might deny us a victory at some point in the season. Either way, it will probably cost us some bonus points somewhere a long the way, so needlessly putting us at a disadvantage over everyone else.

But yes your right this is an odd decision to make. All when and good saying we wont but tell us why youve made that decision, as said multiple times youll get more people on board with it if you explain it.

That was a long explanation. Any chance you can edit that 6-minute explanation down to 15 seconds, joe. :-)

Orr makes a 42 ball 10 on debut, gutted for him.
