DAISY: So who are the Sunrisers?
GED: They are the women’s franchise comprising Middlesex and other neighbouring counties, such as Essex and Northamptonshire.
DAISY: I thought that was London Spirit.
GED: London Spirit is a “The Hundred” franchise – except we’re not supposed to call those ones franchises – whereas Sunrisers is a franchise for 50-over and Twenty20 cricket.
DAISY: That makes no sense.
GED: None of the domestic cricket makes sense at the moment.
DAISY: Where’s the DJ? Where’s the razzamatazz? Where’s the crowd?
GED: The ECB wants to promote The Hundred, so domestic Twenty20 gets the dregs.
DAISY: How many of the players do you recognise?
GED: Frankly, apart from the international players I don’t recognise any of them. This is only the second time I have been to a women’s domestic match.
DAISY: They aren’t very forthcoming on the big screen or the tannoy either. How many Middlesex players are playing for Sunrisers today?
GED: No idea.
DAISY: Are any of today’s Sunrisers actually Middlesex players then?
GED: Possibly not… (Googles a bit) …I don’t think so.
DAISY: Then why should we support Sunrisers?
GED: Because they are Middlesex’s team, that’s why. Sunrisers are the team included in your Middlesex membership.
DAISY: I’m sold.

Having problems watching the T20 between SA and India at the moment. Only heard of a few of them, and the quality of cricket at times is a bit off, to say the least. Erf…
Good on Pakistan thrashing Australia though. Still something to be said for ODIs.
