English Domestic Season 2011

[Jarquis]

Davies in the runs. WAG.
Nashy

 

[Jarquis]

Max Waller must be in with a shout for the record of biggest difference between 4 over economy and innings run rate?

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Davies makes it look so easy when he's in form

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bloody hell.

Ravi scored 72!

Gutted for Davies tho; 99*. Sickener. Be interesting to see how the big fella goes here. Ground is a postage stamp.

 

[Jacknife]

It's the kind of ground that's a bowlers nightmare and a batman's wet dream. Wright's even teeing off.

 

[Manee]

Couple at 89mph from Meaker. Outpaced for the moment by Dirk Nannes who was consistently over 90mph. One at 87mph now - half volleys are hardly gonna intimidate Wright at that speed and so he's going to need to sort it out a bit.

Lat one from Meaker 92mph, the lad has raw pace no doubt. Good slower ball, down to 68mph, anything not landed perfectly by the bowler, is going to go for runs on this pitch, especially at that pace.
Nannes getting some tonk now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez this is a good knock from Wright, to be fair to him.

Even his top edge falls safely.

 

[Howe_zat]

This ground appears to be the size of the average front room, but Wright is indeed doing the business. It's not a bad bowling attack either. Makes you wonder.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Mockers successfully applied. Still 72 off 31 is a very fair effort.

Tidy attack he scored it off too; three 87mph+ bowlers and two T20 specialists in Schofield and de Bruyn.

It makes you wonder what? whether Wright could do a similar job, at the top of the order for England, instead of Lumb.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bopara-esque innings from the chinny Kiwi. 14 off 19 with >13 RPO needed.

Parnell in ahead of Nash & Goodwin an interesting call too.

Makes you wonder why he can't.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nash starting like a man with a point to prove. 12 from 2.

Tremmers's figures v ugly tho 1/54 off 4. Ouch.

 

[Manee]

Tremmers's figures v ugly tho 1/54 off 4. Ouch.

T20 is a very cruel game for bowlers.

 

[Jacknife]

Makes you wonder why he can't.

Oh right, not that I'm a Wright fanboy at all but tbf to him, he's never opened the batting has he for England in T20? where it's far easier to score quick runs.

I seem to remember them trying it in the 2009 World T20, and Wright only making a good score against the Netherlands. They've literally tried everything with him.

Edit - checking, he's opened 9 times in T20.

 

[zaremba]

It's hard to say that Wright has been short of opportunities for England, but at least he's at last starting to turn in a few good performances for Sussex.

Surprised it's as many as that, the trouble with Wright is, he simply doesn't produce it often enough with the bat, for England.
Not that we can really take that much from today's game imo, it's on a tiny ground, with a flat pitch. Still a tidy knock by him though

 

[FBU]

Zafar Ansari, the most impressive cricketer I have seen this year.
