English Domestic Season 2024

[chris.hinton]

Worcester lose another wicket, after looking a bit solid

 

[wpdavid]

I am guessing Jacks and Curran because they will be in the England t20 side against the Aussies later this week?

Pfft.

I'm sure you're right, but pulling players out of this match for some unnecessary micky mouse internationals isn't ideal.

Essex match hasn't started as well

Pfft.

Everything seems squashed together this week. T20 finals as well.

That is the ECB & England Management for you. The T20 series isn't really needed IMO

 

[chris.hinton]

Durham vs Lancashire is raining

All other games have started

Actually ignore this. I've had a mare

FFS 45/3 at New Road

 

[Chin Music]

Pfft.

I'm sure you're right, but pulling players out of this match for some unnecessary micky mouse internationals isn't ideal.

I don't disagree, it is a bit useless. Like you, I won't be paying much attention to those games.

Surrey's XI today vs Surrey's missing XI
Today: Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Ryan Patel, Ben Geddes, Ben Foakes, Shakib Al Hasan, Tom Curran, Jordan Clark, Cameron Steel, Kemar Roach, Dan Worrall
Missing/Not Picked: Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Laurie Evans, Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Chris Jordan, Gus Atkinson, Reece Topley,

Looking at that list:
Jacks, Pope, Lawrence, Smith, SCurran, Atkinson, Jordan and Topley are on various England duties.
Roy hasn't played for us for ages, not even in the T20, and I'm not sure what's happening there.
Overton's injured. Of course.
Evans only plays for the T20 side for some reason. Given the number of absentees, I'm suprised he isn't playing here.
You could have included Lawes. No idea whether he's injured or dropped due to not playing very well this season.
The other absentee is Sudharsan, who I gather has returned to India for their domestic competition.

Somewhat stretching the imagination to imagine this lot playing red ball cricket now isn't it?

It's stretching the imagination to see Roy playing any cricket at all for his county side. Good job that I'm not bitter.
I think Overton would do if he was ever fit.
And as I said before, I don't know why Evans isn't available or considered when so many others are missing.

Anyway. Young Vaughan is still batting beautifully. And they've brought the young guy to commentate on the Somerset live stream, who is always excellent. The old bloke that he's just replaced is less so. I think they also had Vic Marks on commentary duties earlier, and he's always good too.

15-7!

8 down now. But they have reached 50, which didn't look very likely half an hour ago.

Leicestershire 55/9

Yes, but i was suggesting the players Surrey haven't picked or are missing, red or white ball it doesn't matter

Leicestershire 55/9

For a moment I thought they would reach three figures, but 98ao it is.

I notice reading a Yorkshire blog that there are rumours that only 3 of Yorkshire's 7 Championship games will be played at Headingley in 2025.
3 at Scarborough and 1 at York.
Interesting to see if that happens.
Won't mind if it does myself as I will be over in England next year and haven't been to either venue, so can hopefully tick one of those outgrounds off my list.

Both absolutely worth a visit, especially Scarborough - one of the best outgrounds.

Are you listening on BBC or do somerset have their own comms?

 

[chris.hinton]

Great recovery from Worcestershire

I am watching the live stream on Youtube.

EDIT
Switch on now and you'll see some absolute filth from Cameron Steel and some very fine batting from Banton.
tbh Burns' captaincy has been rather odd today. He must be well aware that Surrey struggle with the kookabara ball, and this is a pretty green pitch, but he brought on Shakib really early in the innings. I suppose he wanted to make sure he got value for money from the expensive import.
