2021 English Cricket Season

[theegyptian]

Watched about the last 3 overs of this Somerset Lancs game and I'm amazed lancs managed 370 going on what I've seen. Must have been some crap bowling.

All ten dream is alive for Barker. 1 more and it gets realistic

 

[Starfighter]

Hampshire bowling so far:

Keith Barker 7/39
Everyone else 0/92

Somerset also engaged in one of their customary (for this season) collapses against Lancashire right now too.

 

[Midwinter]

Somerset's batting has fallen in very deep hole.

 

[_Ed_]

Barker has a pretty good record - is it his age that's put him out of the England frame?

 

[chris.hinton]

Will Somerset ever win a County Championship.

Think its Lancashires to lose now

Always been decent. But England call up may have past him by....Which is a shame

 

[chris.hinton]

Dont like the 3 division set up for the last 4 games. Should think of something better

Think his bowling has always been deemed too slow by the international selectors.

 

[honestbharani]

international selectors.

But now he has to convince only one person.

 

[greg]

Well that was a bit of a turn around!

 

[Nintendo]

A trophy for Kent. Thank you very much.

A trophy for Kent. Thank you very much.

I was going to say quite like old times, but I don't really remember anything like the Milnes/Cox catch in the early 1970s. Congratulations to you and commiserations to grecian.

EDIT
And they even won a couple of FC matches lately, didn't they? I bet you don't know what to do with yourself.

In the 70’s you could take a catch inside the boundary and run over it and as long you caught it inside it was still out.

Yes Kent have won three matches since the CC divisions were split up. But the way the split works we've been playing all the other sides that have been terrible all summer as well.

That was a fantastic finals day. Kent deserved to win the competition - they were the best side throughout and endured significant adversity to get to the finals. In both matches, they needed contributions from a couple of batsmen, and the bowling was excellent throughout. The Milnes/Cox catch was terrific. And you even had the non-catch for Smeed - that final had around 15 mins of the most dramatic short form cricket.

In the 70’s you could take a catch inside the boundary and run over it and as long you caught it inside it was still out.

This is a rule that should be bought back in. With ropes seemingly in closer every year, even if only by a metre or so, the grounds are smaller.
If you control the catch inside the field of play, OUT.

Great Kent win, enjoyed watching the live coverage in Australia.

Last round of the County Championship. After the 1st day's play you would make Warwickshire favourites for the title

 

[theegyptian]

11.01am on day 2 and the Essex Northants game is finished.
