I've tried to be open-minded about "Birmingham Phoenix", but it's already difficult to feel any connection with the team as it stands. I like Moeen, Pat Brown and Riki Wessels, but when push comes to shove, I'd rather see them playing for Worcs. Kane Williamson is a legend, but he's only going to be available for a few matches. And the rest are pretty much a who's who of players I don't care about.
There was a sense of desperation around the draft, like the dress rehearsal of a play where no one knows their lines. You can tell that very few of those involved, either on the playing side or in the media, wholeheartedly believe in it, and there seems a creeping dread of what's going to happen if the whole thing is a car crash.
