*Official* English Domestic Cricket 2012

[Jacknife]

Yorkshire all season have done their best to make Coles look like a cross between Marshall & Richards.

 

[Manee]

I hear Davies could barely crack 70mph.

 

[stumpski]

Matt Coles has blown away Yorkshire.

While 5 overs, 5 wickets, 5 maidens Luis Reece is playing for the Unicorns.

Surrey being brought down to earth on a tough wicket. Too early in the season for Roy to be playing up North.

Master Reece found things quite a bit tougher today - 8 overs for 63. Ex-Lancs seamer Steven Cheetham also expensive and wicketless as Guptill and ex-Unicorn Durston ran up hundreds.

Coles could do with using his left arm more. He's not using all his strength and looking at the size and build of him I reckon he could crank it up at least 5 miles an hour faster.

 

[stumpski]

Yes it's very one-armed isn't it - similar to Darren Pattinson.

 

[Jacknife]

Wardlaw bowing 85mph didn't think he was as quick as that tbh, didn't look at when I went to watch him. Bowled really well so far without much luck.

Yorkshire need a clatter of wickets here to make it any sort of contest.

 

[stumpski]

Spirited display by Leics in pursuit of 297 at Old Trafford, especially Cobb who's just reached his 100 off 82 balls. How long can Leics hang onto him before Notts make their move?

 

[Jacknife]

Cant believe Yorkshire took it down to that last over.

Good to see Bell getting some more runs, a run a ball 82*.

 

[stumpski]

Oh dear, Leicester are struggling now that Cobb has gone to a skier off Tahir. Only 11 off the last two overs, and what Jim Laker used to call the "askin' rate" is heading towards 10.




Or should that be "skyer?" No winter sportsmen were involved.

 

[theegyptian]

****ing alex gidman

 

[MW1304]

Benny!

Shame he couldn't see them home but this is why Hampshire should have played him more.

 

[stumpski]

13 wanted off the last over at OT, to be bowled by Kerrigan.

 

[Jacknife]

Shame but a bloody good effort by Leicestershire that falling 5 runs short.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Coles could do with using his left arm more. He's not using all his strength and looking at the size and build of him I reckon he could crank it up at least 5 miles an hour faster.

I read this, and expected a slightly lazy front arm. I didn't expect it to be doing absolutely nothing... incredible action for someone being talked up so highly!

Well there has been a perigee full moon recently.

Went for 26 in first two overs. Odds on when we will next see him again?

Netherlands were doing pretty well up until the last 10 overs against Worcestershire. Will have to bat well to win from here.

Scotland in a decent position against Notts. In the pound seat at the moment after a strong opening stand.

 

[Neil Pickup]

It's going to rain in Kidderminster. Not getting a result there.

 

[stumpski]

Scotland making a good start chasing 220 against Notts - they weren't that far off against Surrey yesterday tbh. Lost on D/L, but if it'd gone the distance might well have been tight.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Well there has been a perigee full moon recently.

If Jones makes it through the match then that moon can be the only explanation, that or someone with a very convincing mask.
