    English Domestic Season 2024

    That show of dissent is going to get him into trouble too.

    Apparently Dominic Leech is playing for Northants on loan in advance of a three year contract starting next year. Hmmm.

    Yikes. Horrible decision against Keaton Jennings.

    Live I thought it had struck him outside the line. But yuk, a Test wicket should not be doing that on any day let alone the first morning.

    Thanks. Looks like he also bowled unchanged for 18 overs in the second innings, albeit across two days. Obviously quite a valuable cricketer, I wonder if he's too old now to get a look in at FC level.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Meanwhile in the NCCA (Minor Counties as was) championship match at Manor Park, Norfolk, one James Cox has now taken seven wickets in the second innings to follow up his six in the first. Inasmuch as you can tell from the live stream it looks as though he is bowling at real pace too. Any idea...

    Also wtf is this Lions side all about? There are two players I've literally never heard of!

    This isn't quite true, it's been a productive year for openers in the championship. I could get why England don't want to return to Jennings, Lyth or Davies but Emilio Gay for example has scored buckets of runs at 60+.

    Didn't realise Northants had signed Chahal. Currently running through the Kent batting like a hot knife through butter.

    Stokes injured in the Hundred. Who steps up to be England captain ?

    If they want another allrounder then Dawson would be a much better choice than Curran IMO, not that he will ever get a chance now. Or they could go leftfield and take a chance on a young player like George Hill, Lyndon James or Joey Evison. That would be a very Bazball option.

    Oh great because of course Surrey need more fast bowlers.

    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    Excuse me if this was posted earlier, but where are you finding CC stats? Cricinfo doesn't let me break down first class stats into different tournaments.

    Gutted that Gay is leaving Northants, he is a serious player.

    What is the most difficult cricket shot to successfully pull off?

    I am always impressed by the late cut to the pace bowlers as played by Ian Bell, Joe Root, Harry Brook etc. No idea how that's even possible.

    Harry Brook

    I think Brook has the potential to be even better than Root. He has very similar technique but with the power to hit sixes. And he hasn't been burdened by the captaincy (yet).

    T20 Blast 2024 (Started on 30th May)

    Hell of a performance by Northants to beat what were at the time the top two sides in the North group in their last two games. **** knows how we still have a negative net run rate though. I never thought home advantage was that big a deal in the quarter finals, but when did Somerset last play...

    You can see why England think Atkinson will be a good option in Aus.

    Does playing in a Bazball style actually mean you're more likely to get out to a long hop though? That's a ball you're always going to attack whether you are in Bazball mode or not. I guess maybe you could argue that it would be safer to hit them along the ground and be happy to collect four...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    I still can't believe we're binning off one of the all time great pace bowlers at a point when none of his potential replacements have established themselves at all. Anderson is still fitter and more dependable than Stokes, Wood and Woakes, all of whom have two or three years left at best in any...
