The Heffalump and I share much the same views about the corruption of the English game arising from the worship of mammon. RH

The ECB has failed in its duty to protect first-class cricket, so why is Tom Harrison still in post?
The counties must wake up and realise their historic responsibility rather than allow themselves to be manipulated by ECB promises

The ECB has failed in its duty to protect first-class cricket, so why is Tom Harrison still in post?
ECB chief executive Tom Harrison finds himself under pressure CREDIT: PA
Perhaps I am being more than usually obtuse, but isn’t the most surprising thing about the debacle of England’s Test cricketers in the West Indies the fact that anyone is surprised by it?

Some of us never bought into the idea that the three Tests in the Caribbean would be a stroll compared with the savage route-march to humiliation that was the tour to Australia that preceded it. The same fundamentals that contributed to that shambles remained in place for this one: a demoralised team insufficiently skilled in playing serious cricket, and exploited by its employers in playing the unmemorable, rubbish short-form games that have debauched the very idea of what cricket is. Add to that what must politely be called an eccentric selection policy, with the team’s two greatest bowlers playing golf at home while English cricket became yet more ridiculous, and the recipe for catastrophe was complete.

Most of the England and Wales Cricket Board’s panjandrums have already had their P45s. It remains inexplicable why Tom Harrison, the Chief Executive, has not had his. It would be mildly uplifting if, as in one of those excellent films about Bomber Command, Mr Harrison was like the handlebar-moustached pilot who ensures the plane crashes away from a centre of population after the rest of the crew has jumped out. Sadly, one fears he lingers for other reasons, perhaps to seek to engineer some sort of continuity from the pitiful regime over which he has presided. Since the ECB needs the most radical change in outlook and strategy imaginable, the sooner Mr Harrison is on his bike the better.

I sit here, 10,000 miles away, with a wry smile on my face.

You blame white-ball cricket on this decline in skills.
I blame the over abundance on medium pace trundlers in CC.
