English Domestic Season 2011

[Howe_zat]

Yeah. Though they might've got away with it if they still had Cork down the order.

 

[zaremba]

I trust Lancashire will take every precaution to prevent water damage to our pennant over the next 12 months.

 

[Pothas]

We have not wasted any time then, De Wet and Myburgh both gone, bit of a shame about the latter but agree with the direction we are going in.

Delighted with Katich, really wanted us to get him in and as captain ideally, they have not gone for that option but still very happy.

Pothas been brilliant for us, must say I thought he would retire at the end of the season but not really sure why we have released him if he is not.

 

[TT Boy]

Myburgh must be gutted. He gave up an international career with NZ for this. Talk is he will go back to South Africa now. de Wet could be finished as I believe he doesn't even have a domestic franchise contract for the forthcoming season.

So what's gone wrong with him? Didn't he bowl pretty well against England a couple of winters ago?

 

[MW1304]

Somerset have lost all their big hitters at the top. I think a Buttler special is needed if they're not gonna finish second again.

 

[Howe_zat]

Really strange attack from Surrey, looks very T20 with four spinners. Doing the business so far I guess, but there's been some poor dismissals.

Would like Somerset to win but I'd love to see Davies get the runs if Surrey were to win it.

 

[MW1304]

Wow another terrible shot. I'm not sure I've ever seen Hildreth perform in a big, pressure situation.

Makes sense to put Suppiah in at this point.

 

[Howe_zat]

Suppiah gone without even 100 on the board, looks like Surrey's game now, unless Buttler can produce something seriously special.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Plus side Jos has plenty of time for something substantial.

Compton no mug either.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Compton no mug either.

Way to make a liar of me, Nick. Bowled round his legs attempting a reverse sweep. Eeeeuuuww.

 

[MW1304]

Buttler showing he can rotate the strike and push the ball around as well as pummel it for boundaries. This innings has just been a procession of bad shots, Surrey should be thanking the Somerset top order no end.

 

[keeper]

Must feel like a recurring nightmare for Somerset.

Can Buttler do something extraordinary here? It's their only chance really.

 

[MW1304]

Come on Jos, just starting to bubble now. He has to get a go in our ODI side, surely, seems to perform every single match and as a finisher, which we always lack.

 

[OMM!]

Hales
Stokes
Taylor
Bairstow
Buttler

Can these 5 lads, the first real young generation of T20 produced players, fire England to ODI and T20 glory?

These lads have had to learn to score quickly, hit boundaries and be multi-dimensional, right from the start of their careers. They could be our great hopes!

Cripes, I've just seen that Buttler averages 75 in these games

EDIT
8 down - presumably he'll look to cut loose now before he's out of partners

 

[keeper]

Good ball by Dernbach, didn't give him anywhere to go. Prattish celebration mind.

Yup. Extremely ****ish.

Wouldn't be drawing attention to my ears if I was him.

 

[OMM!]

Love a bit of arrogance myself.

Dernbach knows he's one of the best death men around and he's showing it here.

Remarkable really. And the not outs only show how he stays all the way - coupled with the strike rate of 145 he is seriously dangerous.

Needs to go some these last 3 overs mind.
