English Domestic Season 2024

good times

Stone has been making runs but has he been taking wkts?
I believe Lawrence smashed 38? off a bashir over. Not a great week for england hopefuls.
I would have Woakes back to open the bowling with jimmy, and hope Stokes can still bowl.
Cook the baller deserves a go but i think he injured himself.

Until that one over yesterday, Robinson had been bowling really well. He took out the Leics top order in the first innings which was key to winning the game - would've been a thrashing but for a freak innings. Be amazed if he's not in the squad.

I see Nathan Smith didn't play in Worcestershire's innings loss to Kent. Injured/rested or dropped?

Ah, the twin imposters.

Lots of wickets falling in division two today.

 

[Yeoman]

Northants 89-7 from 17 overs!?

17 wickets there so far today and 15 at Grace Road.

Thanks. Looks like he's taken a few wickets back in 1st class stuff, but Worcestershire are struggling.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Plenty of wickets falling. 23 of them at Chester-le-Street.

Thought it was a T20 game at first glance.

Ugh. Porter dislocating a finger mid-game va. Surrey. Don’t have the best of luck against the Southerners.

 

[Third_Man]

ridiculous numbers yesterday: 8, 8, 8, 3, 23, 21, 17, 15, 22

 

[chris.hinton]

22 wickets in a single day with Worcester vs Durham

Madness and should never really happen

 

[Molehill]

3 teams bowled out for less than 100, 5 more (and probably another to follow this morning) for under 200. Carnage!! What on earth was going on? I particularly liked the Northants effort to be bowled out for 97 in 20 overs.

Those able to follow the live stream may want to take a look at Anderson's first bowl of the season, which should happen around 11.30 today.

EDIT
Or not, as it's currently raining.

I think you've spotted our cunning plan. Anyway, he's bowling again this morning.

At the Oval. Cloudy skies. Bounce and movement for bowlers. Absorbing contest. Surrey on top.

I went to the game yesterday. It was a bit frustrating. They bowled 2 overs, went off for rain and didn't get back until 13:25. I had to leave at 15:00 because I was meeting mates to go and watch the football. It really looked an each way bet yesterday given the pitch. I couldn't have said with any confidence which way the game was going. They called it a "Festival of Red ball cricket", but I didn't really see anything that made it such other than a few more fast food retailers serving than normal for the county championship. With a relatively short journey for visiting fans, it was always likely to be better attended than many other games. Decent crowd nonetheless. Cook being injured doesn't help Essex's cause.

Lawes has been expensive in his first game for a while. Do his figures accurately reflect how he's bowled?
