English Domestic Season 2011

Couple of interesting chases going on aws - Leicestershire need 95 in 10.5 overs with 7 wickets left to get 295. James Taylor still in stunning form, unbeaten on 57 now.

Essex are also three down against Notts, target 288, but need another 63 from 41 balls. Cook and Bopara did the bulk of the work, Foster's just starting to smack it around.

Seems like some great games today. Middlesex beat Netherlands by one run after the Dutch went ****ing crazy in the last 4 overs only to get 2 singles of the last two balls of the innings. Essex chased down 287 and Leicestershire nearlty chased down 294...James Taylor WAG

Taylor gets his hundred off 85 balls but gets out next ball, and Leics can't do it without him. Still a seriously impressive effort.

Holland made a great game of it, I thought they were doomed with five overs to go.

Blistering form. If he doesn't get a call up for the ODI series at least I'll be ropeable.

Steve Davies and Ally Cook both came close to hundreds today too.

Cook doesn't play much List A, does he? About ten matches in 3 seasons or something?
Had a look and he played 6 domestic List A matches in both 2009 and 2010, (plus a few matches for the Lions and the Bangladesh tour last year) so that's a fair bit for an international.

Only played a few in 07-08 when he was in both the Test and ODI sides.

Awesome. Managed to find a radio link for Williamson's debut game for Gloucestershire, hopefully they bat first because I don't fancy getting up at five in the morning.

Fully expecting us to get absolutely pounded today. No way we have the batting to get a decent score, we will plod along to 200 or so, about 80 short at Chelmsford.

Wouldn't bat against Varun Chopra making the England ODI side in the future, averaging >40 and in the form of his life. Previous U19 captain and if this proves to be his breakout year then he'll make the side sooner or later.

Brave captaincy by Alviro Petersen to give Will Owen a second over after he disappeared for 28(!) in his first. Edit : Cricinfo balls up, it was Croft who bowled Owen's "second" over

Doesn't score quick enough imo. If we are looking for a player of Chopra's ilk, Cook has a better domestic record and is already an insider. With Trott entrenched in the no 3 slot we really need some impetus. Hales is more an option imo.
