***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

Is Willey the real thing? Looks like a good T20 find for England with his batting and bowling exploits and connects well with the current English team's motto of Go-aggressive.

 

[King Pietersen]

Willey's ****ing awesome. Been class in T20's for quite a few seasons now.

I think what Yardy is bowling is called "Left-Arm Pie".

He's certainly the real thing in limited-overs. For Tests you'd feel, if it wasn't swinging loads he'd be cannon-fodder with the ball.

Ravi, Ravi, Ravi. Going about to rip through the Brummies.

Pfft, Tait takes a wicket just because the Bop softened them up...

 

[fredfertang]

Until this evening I didn't realise James Foster made mistakes

 

[grecian]

They're calling ravi a complete cricketer, surely they mean "the complete cricketer".

Yet I agree he should be getting all this kudos for the simplest catch on the boundary you'll ever see. Reckon cricinfo should write an article about it TBH.

 

[Pothas]

The complete human being really.

 

[Niall]

Rikki Clarke is such a gun.

 

[91Jmay]

Good performance in all aspects, although our top order has been quite **** sans McCullum. Having Rankin/Poysden/Gordon depending on conditions fighting for one spot shows our bowling depth. Woaksey was superb, and Rikki is such a huge asset.

 

[marc71178]

There was talk McCullum might come back for finals day.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah he'd be a massive boost, probably be him and Belly opening with Chops at 3 which looks good on paper.

So Leicestershire finally get a couple of wins in the championship and now they're getting 16 points deducted in the championship for multiple instances of dissent. Leicestershire County Cricket Club

Seems harsh although it won't have any consequence on promotion/relegation.

Hampshire got away with a suspended sentence earlier in the season. CDC Disciplinary Panel statement on Hampshire | England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) - The Official Website of the ECB

His lack of Championship runs have annoyed me no end this season but Vince is still stupidly good.

What an absolute ****ing disgrace this is. Harsh sentence when a precedent has already been set, ECB again are having a complete disregard for small counties. If you are actually going to punish people, at least warn them the first time and then take a couple of points away the next time it happens. Problem's nipped in the bud and doesn't happen again.

How can there possibly be a problem with the light in an evening T20 game? Where are the floodlights? Game wouldn't have finished until about 8.15 in any case.

Ashes 'Question of Sport' just starting on BBC1 btw, if anyone's interested.

Absolutely. No way there'd have been an immediate points deduction if it had been the likes of Essex, Middlesex or Slurrey.

They don't have floodlights. A tweet from a journo.

Small aside to tonight's D/L finish at Worcester - told by someone that Worcs asked ECB to put lights in coz of TV timing & they said no

Should never have gone ahead in the evening, play it in the morning or afternoon. Horrible way to go out for Worc.

 

[FBU]

Whiteley was jusy getting started.
91* off 36 balls against Yorks. 11 sixes

Comparing the two

Willey - 82 20/20s s/r 140.32 86 fours 51 sixes
Whiteley- 46 20/20s s/r 150.77 46 fours 58 sixes

 

[Riggins]

Need to get him in the England t20 team asap

And yet Kent, who have lights at Canterbury, have their match at 2 o'clock this afternoon - bizarre. Perhaps Worcs decided that floodlights would spoil their lovely ground and the view of the cathedral, in which case don't play evening fixtures there. Could get away with it in June maybe, not in mid-August.
