Bandwagons are just pointless when attached too English leg-spinners,the list of shite is endless. I gave up years ago, have enough things to be disappointed in life with, without just bringing it on myself.
Oh and even if they get half-decent the hype is just SOOOO annoying. Schofield, Salisbury, Rashid. I mean we have to ask ourselves why really. It's not like leg-spinners are pulling up trees for other teams, or even have much recently. Warne was a freak, Kumble was pretty unorthodox, and then?
You have to go back to Qadir, and quite frankly as much as I loved him at the time, looking back at vids he would get slautered nowadays (obviously with the proviso that he may well have changed style for current days, but hence probably less good to watch), about 2 bad balls an over.
It's really hard to be an accurate leg-spinner, and with the big bats and modern attacking batting methods, I reckon it's harder and harder in first-class.
oddly enough though, because t20 people look to hit every ball anyway, having a box of tricks to confuse the bats works in that form, all the better at times if you actually get it wrong.

Hmm can't find County Cricket Live on Cricinfo. The cynic in me could make a comment about how they've not bothered since it's virtually all northern counties in action which obviously don't matter...

Concerned that Warks batsmen appear unfamiliar with the script - Parky gets a 7fer and Lanky win - sort yourselves out lads

Yorkshire collapsing after the opening partnership. 5 down with 23 and a bit overs left to survive.

Given the amount of players we have missing anything but a win is a shocking result for Durham.

Compton taking a break from cricket. Hope he returns refreshed and does himself justice.

The likelihood is if we go all out away from the EU, its going to lead to strengthening trade ties with former Commonwealth nations, and inevitable labour agreements that come with those negotiations. Chances are from a cricket POV there will be rules that come in that offer similar benefits to the Kolpak one.

Missed his ton but another good knock from him. Certainly having a good season is the lad.

A big one too - he played beautifully today although to the best of my recollection he only went onto the back foot once - he ducked everything that was short, then went for a hook and struck it superbly for that six, then went back to ducking under the short stuff - most odd because he most certainly can hook

Lol. Not once but twice sun light stopped play. For weeks it's been pissing down and then we get this.
