FAO Dr Dublin

sorry i dont believe that showing cricket on any media platform will have an effect on cricket in state schools , more money and the stop selling of school playing fields will have a greater effect , also the time it takes to play the game within the school day also goes against it , when other sports like basket ball can be played easily within the school day

dont get me wrong i would love to see cricket played more in state schools i am a great lover of the game , but unfortunately i think that ship has sailed
