English Domestic Season 2024

[Gremlin]

Don't do them in County games. But surely a 9fer trumps a 270? Plus he got 3 more in the first innings.

I didn't know that!

Tough call... 12 match wickets vs the 279.... I could argue the case for either. It's a batter's game though

So Tom Banton injured his ankle playing football in the warm up yesterday.
Any chance the players could actually warm up by playing .. I don't know, maybe cricket.

How often do you see Premier League footballers practicing their slip catching before a match.
It's absolutely farcical what happens, but you reap what you sew.

Cricketers have always done this

Wow, 9-68 from Potts!! Have a feeling he'd have been quite useful at The Oval!!

Middlesex v Glos looking very intriguing. If Glos get home then Sussex all but promoted....

Took 5 today and look at the state of the ball!

We shall find out how he might have gone at the Oval. As next week were away to Surrey

Bedders with our highest ever indiviual score and part of our highest ever partnership.

A difficult one in the event there was such an award.

I was kind of thinking what happens more in Cricket, someone scoring 250+ or someone taking a 9fer? I would assume the 250 is more common.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Two matches still in play.

Kent battling to save the game against Hampshire.

Surrey need another 154 to beat Somerset but doesn't really appear like they are going for it. Current run rate under 2.

 

[chris.hinton]

Surrey will be happy with a draw

Worcester and Warwick has ended in a draw. Happy with the result we should be ok now in surviving in the division

 

[Molehill]

Middlesex losing to Glos means Sussex will need a couple of almighty thrashings to not be playing in Div 1 next season.

 

[Gremlin]

Scenes at Taunton! Ten-fer for Archie Vaughan, may not be a bore draw after all!

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

61 balls for Clark and Roach combined for no run!

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Clark gone for a 47 ball duck.

Surrey 9 down. Would've probably been easier to have tried to chase it down.

Somerset win. Scenerama.

Leach 37-24-37-5

Genuinely speaking, how long before Archie Vaughan is in the England team?

Bizarrely, the current England spin incumbent is likely to be third choice spinner for his county come start of next season.

That's my take on it too, as it was this morning when I saw how slowly they were scoring. But leaving that aside, it has to be great to see yet another teenage spinner doing so well. And it should set up a decent finale to the CC. Let's hope the rain doesn't decide it one way por another.

Dare I say that Somerset are favourites now? You'd have to fancy them to take care of Lancashire next. Surrey have to go to Chelmsford last game and Durham are not an easy proposition with Lees, Bedingham, Ackermann in the top order and Potts fresh from a 9 for.

Somerset win. Scenerama.

Leach 37-24-37-5

Love an old school scorecard like that. 69/77 overs from the two spinners

 

[chris.hinton]

Unbelievable effort from Somerset. Could be an exciting end to the Season
