The new name for Twenty20 next year is... NatWest T20 Blast.

No, really.

Everyone will still just call it 20-20.

This goes alongside the KAPOW 50 and the BOSH County Championship.

county championship games starting on Sunday ... good news for me, I normally have Mondays as a day off work and a day on the beer :)

Kind of ironic really, I have been saying pretty similar to " Blast " whenever I checked our scores in the 20/20 last season.

The 60 overs format back in the 70s was known as 'The Nurdle Down to Fine Leg 60'

Does the 'Blast' imply that they will begin to use explosives in the matches?

Litter the outfield with mines?
One ball per over is actually a grenade?

...thinking about it, i'd happily watch that.

A quick skim of the fixtures shows that in addition to the Championship permanently fixed to Sun-Wed, the One Day cup games all appear to be midweek games rendering the first innings a write off for anyone with a job. The only easy access games are championship first day and T20 ye gods.....Blast games on fridays.

Not entirely sure about the merits of a membership now. Everything sacrificed for T20. At the moment I am not happy. I'll go through it in detail later and maybe calm down then.

An exciting innovative new format to bring T20 into the teenies.

I also note that Warwickshire are now called the Birmingham Bears and Glamorgan could become the Cardiff Gators.

Horsham and Arundel must be royally pissed off, they used to rely on having at least a one-day match on a weekend day.

Actually the have both escaped. Arundel has a sunday T20 and Horsham a sunday one day game, so some sanity there at least.
