Hi guys I signed the petition,but they haven't helped by shifting the core of county games at the start and end of the cricket fixture list ,that's hardly protecting county cricket 6rounds played before start of June it's no wonder the test team is bottom of the rankings after the last 17 games under root.

Many of you will have seen the press reports of the Andrew Strauss-led review of English cricket, which is recommending that from 2024 season there should be a reduction overall of 10 to 15 days cricket, with a reduced number of Championship games and the One Day Cup potentially moved to the beginning of the season, with also the possibility of Championship games being played concurrently with The Hundred in August.
A meeting of County chairmen to review the proposals is set for September 20 and, according to The Times, "all counties have committed to consulting their members about the proposals".
Lancashire, after pressure from a members' action group, have agreed to give members a binding vote on the proposal to reduce Championship matches, while the Essex board were unanimous in rejecting any reduction in Championship cricket.
How does the Sussex committee intend to consult members? Will we given a vote some time in the next three weeks? One would hope that our county committee would be instinctively and firmly against any further reduction in Championship games, given that for most of us it is the premier form of the game and the reason why most if not all of us are County members.
The recent survey of readers in The Cricketer magazine found 97% opposed to any reduction in 4-day cricket, and publication of that survey outcome has drawn emphatic and colourful support from none other than our current #1 alpha male Ben Stokes.
I do hope that members of this forum will make their feelings known in the limited time available prior to Sept 20, and hopefully all Sussex ccc members will be hearing from the Chairman or CEO on this matter imminently. Now is the time to make our collective feeling known. GOSBTS!

My preferred option for next season: April 50 overs (ensure it is not 2XI competition) May Championship June T20 July - September Championship |

There is no proposal to change anything for next season - the proposals in the review, if agreed by 12 or more of the counties (which I would hope is unlikely), would come into effect in 2024 season.
We await to see how Sussex intends to consult the membership prior to the September 20 meeting of all the chairmen. Personally I don't disagree with Coverpoint's preferred scheduling option, but the key questions are: how many Championship matches will be played and will there be a change to the number of clubs in each division?

There's too much cricket for me. Internationally & domestically. I've been a long term supporter of 10 CC games. That's 40 days, 40 eight hour days for one tournament. Bring on the change.
I know this, something absolutely has to change, & therefore will.

I asked the chairman directly about a members vote,the awnser was no followed by look at Brexit. He did say he would organise a forum before November. |

When did we ever get a straight answer from a forum? They are not worth the effort, any difficult questions are ignored or deflected onto another topic. They only tell us what they want us to hear. |

The last forum they told us that Ben brown would definitely see out his two year contract at Sussex. Two weeks later he left for Pants |
