2021 English Cricket Season

[Tom Flint]

Hammed continuing his good form, Kent are a shambles - on paper that is not even a bad top 6. Surrey almost have a test standard top 6. Good to see the 'smaller' div 2 counties being more than competitive against the big ones

 

[wpdavid]

It won't happen of course, but if everyone was available, then Surrey's top 7 would be Burns, Stoneman, Amla, Pope, Roy, Foakes and Curran S.
tbh I don 't really want them all available at the same time as I want to see Curran batting in the top 5 when he is available for the CC.

Which is all very well, but our bowling is the real problem. I honestly don't know how we managed to dismiss Hampshire for 92.

Abell out and no Gregory reckon Middlesex are faves now.

 

[grecian]

Honestly off for lunch with nearly 5 k viewers on you-tube, utterly ****ing ridiculous. This sport kicks itself in the arse so many times.

 

[Bijed]

Great chase by Gloucester!

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

And a crazy finish at Headingley!

Been some great County Cricket, early season. Somerset need to do something about our openers, apart from Brooks, who only played one innings, they're bottom of our batting averages. They'll be fun for one-dayers I suppose.

Somerset should just play 10 bowlers/all-rounders and hilderith at this point. Would probably work out in there favour. Maybe pull some wacky **** and try reversing the batting order since there best bats are usually at 7 and below

Abell's had a good season, but I suppose he's bowling a fair bit now, so that kinda works. And we should probably keep Davies as wk, I might consider him opening tbh.

2021 English First-Class Season Draft (June-October, seeking four players)

Any takers for this? The first match to count would be the first Test vs. New Zealand. I'm seeking a lighter tallying burden than the usual NZ first-class draft I help to run on here, so I'd limit it to 2-4 others and myself. We could always expand it if someone really doesn't mind the online...

We are drawing our way to Division 1 haha

Noticed Archer was playing for Sussex 2nds (quite by accident, was looking for information on Head), hard to tell from the limited highlights I could find but he looks pretty underdone imo. No real pace to speak of

 

[Kippax]

Yes, just the one ball in his opening spell that I think the pitch turned into a real brute. He doesn't look more than a week or two away from being hostile to me though.

 

[wpdavid]

Good start by Sussex today; 25 for 7 last time I checked.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Kent 50/2. Just hoping this isn’t the high point.

 

[Starfighter]

What are Sussex and Hampshire doing out there? 7/47 and 6/43 at lunch.

 

[Kippax]

If only New Zealand could be guaranteed there'll be as much in the Southampton air in about six weeks from now.

Archer also ducking it back in sharply at times (60 miles away in Hove).

Ollie Robinson is a hero.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Essex have been **** since I've been posting on here again, but they were tearing up in my absence. Never change seats when things are going well.

 

[Blenkinsop]

WTF is up with the umpiring in the Northants/Sussex match? Northants got two of the worst LBW decisions I've seen and the dismissal of Rob Keogh was just bizarre.
