English Domestic Season 2011

[Howe_zat]

Lets hope it rains for another day at Durham or we'll manage a defeat in a 3 day match.

Judging by the forecast we're likely to get away with it no matter what happens. But it's only the first innings, we're not out of it yet anyway.

Suits me

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Kent 87 a/o
Middlesex 153 a/o
Kent 4/1

Day 1.

Someone's getting docked.

Edit: Kent close on 33/3.

Should have played the Test on that pitch...

 

[Howe_zat]

As it is, Kent are now 180/9 after being 140/9 just before lunch.

Azhar Mahmood has top scored (from no. 8) in both innings, currently 37* and took 6-36 in Middlesex's innings.

Now is it really fair to ask him to play Middlesex on his own?

Yorkshire putting up a fight at Chester-le-street. 185 plays 146/5.

 

[Jacknife]

Shahzad going at 7 an over again, don't know what's happened to his bowling. Trust Colly to suddenly discover how to bat again.
Colly's got his hundred, as much as I wish he'd have got it against someone else, I can't say, I'm not really pleased for him.

 

[Howe_zat]

Gale (hundred) and Ballance (fifty) sorting this **** out again. Need to bat for another hour or so with 6 wickets left so we've just about got away with it.

Desperately need the points now that Worcestershire have won a couple.

Pisspoor attendance for a T20 at Cardiff. It's possible, I suppose, that more people turned up but they were sucked in by Cosgrove's gravity, engulfed and absorbed

Just came here to post, that Cosgrove looks to have put a stone on at least, he really is pushing maximum density.

To balance things out Essex have Walker.

 

[TT Boy]

Virus bowled count must be into double figures now.

 

[TT Boy]

Leicestershire bowled out for 48 by David Lucas and Jack Brooks.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Um...well Brooks is good.

 

[grecian]

Um...well Brooks is good.

Well, good maybe pushing it, but he's not really Lolworthy, Imho. Lucas has also always been capable of an outstanding spell amongst the dross he normally serves up.

 

[MW1304]

Kiessy celebrates his recall to the ODI side with a pair, and Somerset have collapsed in a massive, steaming heap.

 

[fredfertang]

So 205 more to win with the new ball seen off and all second innings wickets standing - 'twill be squeaky bum time at Trent Bridge on the morrow

 

[Neil Pickup]

Leicestershire bowled out for 48 by David Lucas and Jack Brooks.

What's wrong with Jack Brooks?

 

[superkingdave]

77/1 needing another 160 to win. I'd say our title challenge depends on this game. If we win we will be half a dozen points behind Durham with a game in hand.

 

[superkingdave]

Barring a massive collapse or rain we should win from here. A Massive result for our title prospects with Durham thwarted by the weather

 

[fredfertang]

Durham can't moan about the weather - it was the French Resistance that did for them

 

[superkingdave]

I'm sure our friends over the border will look back on their performance with fondness if it contributes in some small way to a Lancashire title win

And i'm sure the would be doubly happy after our late collapse to Notts last year saved them the ignominy of winning the title themselves
