***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

[Spitfires_Fan]

Game over I reckon.

Of course, I could be wrong. Fingers crossed...

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

...and wrong I was. Great innings from VJ.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Nice to see Durham bounce back after losing to crappy Derbyshire.

BBC were reporting and so were Sky Sports that Ireland beat Hampshire by D/L, now turns out that Hampshire won by eight wickets. Got worried for a minute for Hampshire's run rate was ridiculously good and they had tons of wickets left.

Also, Scotland have lost again in the last over, Northants needed 14 of the last two but the South Africans, DJ Jacobs, Zulu and van der Wath were good enough to bring Northamptonshire home. Good knock by Jacobs on county debut, has an appalling one day record for a player of his quality.

And nice hitting from fat boy Rob Key. It seems like Kent's batting order is the wrong way around.

 

[PhoenixFire]

**** me Sussex are having a dire time of it atm.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

It seems like Kent's batting order is the wrong way around.

Yep, absolutely. You'd have thought that Graham Ford and co would have realised from Jones' ODI career that he's not an opener. The same goes for Stevens. I'd open with Denly and Key and keep the order much the same as in the longer form of the game:

Key
Denly
VJ
Walker
Stevens
Jones
Hall
McLaren
Arafat
Tredwell
Cook

If you get to the last 10/15 overs with only a few wickets down, send one of Hall/McLaren/Arafat up the order like they did today. It's a good one day side, we ought to be challenging for silverware really.

i reckon i could slap middlesexs attack around at the moment where the bloomin hell is chaminda?

 

[FBU]

i reckon i could slap middlesexs attack around at the moment where the bloomin hell is chaminda?

I could do the same with the Lancs batsmen.

Don't get too excited about Vaas, he doesn't like the Dukes ball -

Edgbaston 91.50
Lords 96.00
Old Trafford 64.50
Trent Bridge 49.50

 

[Great Birtannia]

I wish someone had picked up Hilfenhaus. He would be absolutely lethal in English conditions and it would be a great sighter for him for 09.

Bailey has started relatively well for Scotland and Glamorgan have signed up Wright - I hope he doesn't come back bloody crocked again like last time he was over there.

 

[TT Boy]

Ian Harvey's season halted for now...

[grecian]

Tresco gets a ton. Ironically away from Taunton.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah good stuff from Banger, nice to see him in the 100s again. Currently on 152.

 

[UncleTheOne]

kp has been ruled out of hampshires game tomorrow v lancs. shame, would have been interested to see how he fared against freddie.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Yeah, I'm sure Lancs fans won't mind though. Hampshire's batting looks a little bit brittle to me, they could have done with Pietersen in there.

 

[UncleTheOne]

i was hoping kp might smash saj mahmood out of england contention, damn.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Ouch... Kent are getting a right hammering this morning

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

And Trescothick gets his 200 - I'm sure Somerset will be happy that he's not ready to return to the England fold just yet.

Arafat has just taken two quick wickets, Will Smith and Paul Collingwood his victims.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Yeah it's looking a bit better now, but they're still going at over 6.5 an over!

Di Venuto's a quality player, he's always done well for whoever he's played for.
