English Domestic Season 2024

[mackembhoy]

Here is New Road right now.

Play has been abandoned for the day at CLS for Durham/Kent.

So a far cry from Worcester it seems. Albeit looks like they are in for a bad evening with rain, hopefully no more flooding.

 

[mackembhoy]

Middlesex chances are dead and buried now you'd have thought.

They would need 24 points in the event Yorkshire manage 8 points from their game.

Draw being the most likely outcome in most of the games.

All the effort the sides put in and the weather has the final say, very frustrating, and I'm a neutral.

Play to start at New Road at 13.55 BST (About 30 min) from now, assuming it doesn't rain again.

 

[chris.hinton]

Excellent that we are going to start

 

[tony p]

No play today at,
Durham v Kent
Glam v Glos
Leic v Derby
Sussex v Middx
York v Northants

Only 4 matches have started, and 2 are currently off for rain/badlight.

 

[tony p]

Worc, 22-5, Notts & Warw just getting a bit twitchy.

Perhaps cricket would work better as a summer sport.

I appreciate that at no point in the year can the weather be guaranteed however you really are pushing your luck trying to play in the last week of September. Quite apart from the rain this week it was decidedly cold at Lord’s two weeks ago and the crowds at the recent ODIs have had to wrap up warm too.

 

[Yeoman]

Worc, 22-5, Notts & Warw just getting a bit twitchy.

As long as it keeps raining there a draw will almost certainly do for both of them.

I wouldn't trust either side not to collapse twice, particularly in these conditions.
Notts in particular if they lose will want to make sure they get enough bonus points, just incase.

As long as it keeps raining there a draw will almost certainly do for both of them.

draw with 2 bowling bonus points is enough - even if Lancs get max points but they will never score 450.

 

[Hungry Llama]

I thought theyd need snorkels at new road after all that rain. Its pouring again now, so might only be swans vs ducks tomorrow.

 

[tony p]

It's about 20/30 minutes until play is due to start, already 2 matches called off today.
Durham v Kent
Leic v Derby.

No play before lunch at Chelmsford, Worcester, Nottingham & Leeds.
Inspections everywhere else between now & Midday.

 

[Yeoman]

Latest score: Rain 9 Cricket 0

 

[chris.hinton]

Yep. There will be limited play today i suspect if any

 

[tony p]

Play due to start at Cardiff at Midday. (And then off to lunch at 1.00pm) Seriously, why not play for TWO hours then have a 30 minute break at 2.00pm.?
Glos won the toss, put Glam in.

 

[chris.hinton]

Looks a bit better for this afternoon. We should have some cricket

 

[tony p]

Play abandoned for the day at Hove for the second day in a row.
Congrats to Yorkshire on their promotion.

Not just yet

 

[tony p]

No play at Worcester today, not what Lancashire needed.
Still a very small chance of a win, but hard to get more than say 19 points from it (16 for win, 3 bowling pts)

Tomorrow is better day (No Rain) so there could be something planned for a win/lose
