Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Usually mid-November so hopefully not long now.


Unless anyone has heard a specific release date.

We should have a sweep on when they are officially released.

I'm going to say 19th November.

I'll say the 23rd.

Thursday 26th November

That's the equivalent date to last years release but I suspect it may be later this year because of all the contraversy over the attempt for a reduction in the number of fixtures.

A distinct possibility, along with the current spin bowling debate. Looking at how the England international fixtures are scheduled I reckon the county fixtures are going to get a overhaul, by that I mean when to play matches as opposed to how many. An England v Pakistan ODI is taking place on a Bank Holiday weekend, normally reserved for T20 Finals Day.

On a similar theme has the format of the 50 over competition been announced?

On the Warks ccc website T20 finals day already scheduled for 20th August.

Not yet but they were talking of regionalising the groups.

That sounds far too logical and sensible for the ECB.

Think AP is on the money. If not it will be Tuesday 24th.

I think that ECB will announce it one day, and the Durham website will publish it a month later

Kent are expecting the fixtures to be released in the last week of November or first week of December. More likely the latter.

Should expect Sky to announce the live games the week later or in the same day.

I expect Sky will announce the TV games next year. Think it's usually between February and April.
