Just received email from Edgbaston (not WCCC!) regarding major fixrtures next year. With a test against Pakistand scheduled for 9th-13th September Finals day is likely to be pushed back to virtually the end of September. If it wasn't for the Hundread the Finals could be held in August like it used to be when the weather is warmer. Such a shame.

In July?

Yes I agree however to do that you would remove a 4 day game eg this year it would be this game against Worcs. Althoughn the quarter finals could have been played last week end, next weeks county game could start on Monday and the Blast Final day could be the following weekend 2nd August. It's quite simple when there is a will to actually give spectators what they want.

Test match in September? Blimey.

I'm in the minority, I actually like Finals Day being somewhat later as I hate being in the sun all day and actually quite like watching cricket in cool weather.

It seems to produce relatively low-scoring games, too (again I am probably in the minority, I really enjoy nip and tuck T20 where the bowlers have a fair chance and batters need to think and work hard for their runs)

Seems to me you should give up cricket and watch rugby instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do agree though with your second paragraph.
