**Official** County Cricket 2017

[theegyptian]

Decent effort by Rory Burns, who has been in action for the first 3 and a bit days of the match. 219* is a fair effort after your side conceded 648, and now the lad's back out there for the second innings.

Alec Stewart was talking up his England chances again- like every other Surrey player he's got. Still will be some achievement to stay on the ground for the whole game, if he manages it.

T20 starts tomorrow.

Sounds like Thakor has been watching a little too much pr0n.

That's brilliant. Wasn't there as episode of Friends where Joey did exactly that with one of the female characters?

Wonderful finish at Edgbaston.

"catastrophically misread the signals"

Mr Dobell a great loss to the diplomatic service

 

[Bijed]

Yesssss, Somerset actually won a game!

 

[theegyptian]

Yes Olly Stone back from injury finally. Great news.

Do Durham have a points deduction in the T20? The side they are putting out seems like they already don't give a ****.

 

[grecian]

Shane Warne or KP to call for Jade Dernbach to be made English limited over captain in 1-2-3-4....

Four I believe.

They just drove up from a four day game down at Chesterfield. The scheduling is mad.

 

[weldone]

Flintoff will increase TRP of Blast - has the kind of adrenaline-charged commentary style that T20 needs.

 

[grecian]

It's Bantz isn't it?

Meh, not my thing but I don't hate it, mind you that's probably because it can't be any worse than Beefy and Warne commentating on Test cricket. Bar set infinitely low.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fingers crossed Luke Fletcher is ok, Sam Hain drilled one straight back at him and hit him on the head. Sounds like he walked off a few minutes later though so hope he is ok.

 

[grecian]

Look, I may well seem to be an harsh bastard here, but Fletcher walked and was never unconcious, it looked nasty, but c'mon, this has happened 100s of times before, it's clearly not a Phil Hughes situation.


Awaits hate for callous view. Yet I hope he's fine and there is no reason that he won't be from what I saw.

Big day for Gloscricket.

Firsts at home at Cheltenham, against local rivals Worcestershire.
Seconds played (and beat) Afghanistan by 5 wickets in a 40 over friendly at Bedminster. A certain Rashid Khan 1-61 from 7.5 overs. ****bain 102, and Hankins 78 for Glos.
Bristol hosted the womens world cup game between Eng and Aus.

The video looked horrifying, here's hoping it's nowhere near as bad as it looked.

 

[marc71178]

Not sure what has been shown on screen as I was at the ground but the ball literally rebounded off his head and straight up in the air higher then then top of the stands.
