20. 10) Hence the ECB, if they are looking for a franchise system that would enable

business swagger and of regional identity, must take its inspiration from what,
according to an article by Tom Holland for The Guardian?

Some time around AD 900, eight centuries before the first
ever county match was played, a Syrian traveller to Rome
recorded an intriguing detail about England: that it boasted
“seven kingdoms”. The memory of them has not entirely
faded, partly this is because, despite their absorption a

England, they remain to this day a focus for local loyalties
and partly because what it went on to inspire.
