The new English domestic cricket season kicks into full swing today with the first round of county championship matches. It does so under the shadow of an IPL season approaching an exciting conclusion. And as it casts envious eyes towards the sub-continent, English cricket knows that its nouveau riche Indian cousin is here to stay; they only need to look at the attendances and viewing figures on ITV4 to realise that.
We at the Reverse Sweep must be in doomsday mode at the moment, as this week's column on World Cricket Watch leads on our belief that the county system is in urgent need of reform. This is the theme we have taken even further with our most recent article on CricDude called Envy and the need for reform.
Please read the articles and let us know what you think? Do you agree, and if so what would you do? If you disagree, please tell us why and we may write a follow-up article to offer a more balanced view and hopefully prompt further discussion.
