That has to be another indication that our finances are in goid shape. Quite surprised to read that Somerset aren't in as healthy a position as expectedl. That said I can understand sone counties reluctance- full expenditure but little or no revenue although if this 2m rule goes ( and it sounds as if it will be gone by early July to aid the hosp Iitality sector) it should help.
Bostock seemed confident that T20 would be played in front of crowds. In fact, he was confident of crowds flocking to it given the absence of sport for so long. May well be right as there's unlikely to be any football in September.
