***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

It'd be even better if RTD would **** off back to Holland.

Is he an opener by trade? I think he was batting in the middle order earlier in the season, but moved up to the top for this game.

I'm pretty sure that he is, I remeber seeing his name up the top when I was looking at a few under 19 scorecards last year. If I remember correctly, it was him a Varun Chopra - another younster who is in good form too - possibly an England opening pair for the future?

Napier hit 62 of 72 in boundaries, that's a fair effort!

Typical Napier, TBH.

Wasn't he the kid who played for Glamorgan 2nds when he was 14 or something ridiculous like that?

Samit Patel played for Notts Seconds at 14, it's not completely unheard of.

 

[Richard]

Rankin taking some wickets as well, we'll be stealing him soon

Haha, "stealing", good one.

Still, pretty amazing stuff. Considering that Hasan Raza made his Test debut, supposedly aged 14 it doesn't look that impressive.

I've played against him at club level, he was 17/18 I was 14. We lost the match, but not by much.

What was he like?

What was he like?

Good
Opened the batting, retired (as you have to in junoir cricket in our league).
Big presence on the field as he was progressing very wel through Notts at the time.

Essex conceeded 277 from their 50 overs, thanks mostly to a wonderful century by Eoin Morgan, who was fielding for England just yesterday. Kaneria the pick of the bowlers with 4/49. Pretty confident we can chase it down.

What's doing with RTD Perm?

He seems to be fullfilling a typical 2nd string English all-rounder role; bowl no more than 5 overs and bats too low to be an impact.

Also, why was Morgan fielding for England? He's Irish.

He was a replacement fielder since Middlesex didn't have a game yesterday, I assume he was hanging around Lords and was asked to be the unofficial 12th man since James Anderson went home.

Not sure what the story is with RTD, he notched up a century near the start of the season but has been pretty woeful since. His bowling isn't good enough, and never really has been. He can be handy when he gets it right and conditions suit, but no more than that. In poor form with the bat though, which is a great shame.

Glamorgan 85
David Hemp 25
Simon Cook 4/25, Ryan McLaren 4/29

Kent 87/1
Geraint Jones 44*, Andrew Hall 40*
Alex Wharf 1/36

Good day at the office for Kent.

 

[Perm]

Derbyshire 199/6
Phil Weston 78
Gareth Batty 1/31

Worcestershire 201/3
Ben Smith 66*, Graeme Hick 65*
Graham Wagg 2/41

Pretty easy victory for Worecestershire there, hardly challenged.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Durham well set to win their game after a slow start to both innings in that match. 179-3 after 39 overs chasing 252 for victory, Durham were something like 33-3 off 15. Mustard has 102* off 118, Benkenstein at the other end unbeaten on a half-century.

 

[aussie]

annoyed i couldn't have been @ OT today for the Roses's clash seems like a very good game was played.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Durham win, just, despite Breese's rubbishly slow innings in the circumstances.

 

[Kweek]

Essex win aswell, brilliant knocks by Chopra and Pettini apperently

 

[TT Boy]

That game was held up for half hour after Chaminda Vaas had to be taken to hospital after hitting his head on a advertising boarding whilst attempting a catch. However, he was fully ‘conscious’ when he was ******ed off to hospital and fingers crossed his alright.

0/46 isn't that bad!
