County Cricket 2022

[Chubb]

I feel like the wheels are coming off the Essex bandwagon.

Absolutely top performance by Northants today. Put on 170+ for the last three wickets against one of the best attacks in the country and then completely strangled Essex in reply. Can't remember the last time I saw such sustained accurate bowling, there was barely a bad ball all afternoon.

Luke Procter would have to be one of the most unaesthetically pleasing players to watch, but he does a fine rearguard job.
They also have an underrated bowling side.
Think they will stay up.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Kent breaking all records. Conceding over 500 for the fourth time in four matches including a 600plus.

I must say it's been good to see some runs-heavy rounds in the CC. Too bad Marcus Harris has scored some of them.

 

[SteveNZ]

Nathan Gilchrist, 3 pairs in a row and equal as the most ducks in a row in FC cricket. 3 first-ballers (one in each match) and it's four pairs in a row if you count matches where he batted twice. That's a fair effort.

Shoulder injury forces early end to Jackson Bird's Kent stay

Seamer will undergo rehabilitation on torn tendon back home in Australia

An injury like that at his age could very well finish his career.

I hope he gets a nice 30 next try tbh. Must be grim.

Absolutely.

Saq Mahmood not involved for Lanky again, hmmm.....

So whats going here? He started well for Lancs and they just dropped him. Mahmood, Jimmy and Ali is a good attack.

Is there an injury? Is there the contract issue? Or is it Jimmy throwing a tantrum?

Shoulder injury apparently. Not sure why Jimmy would throw a tantrum, he's been rested.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Ollie Robinson starting his first match of the season today. Woakes still not fit to play. Olly Stone made a comeback for Warks 2nds but had to withdraw with injury after bowling just 7 deliveries.

Foakes back for Surrey after missing the last round.

What is it with England not able to keep their fast bowlers fit? The support staff must be rubbish.

Look at teams that have consistently produced better and faster pace bowlers, Aus, SA and Pak, they have much better track records.

Well, as I mentioned before, he's been injury-prone for awhile, not sure a short stint with England has suddenly made him this way.

And as I and someone else responded, that's not true, Mohammad played a lot of T20 cricket, Lancs just kept him out of their red ball side.

But anyway, putting him aside, the England set up can't keep Wood, Archer, Robinson and that's just a few fit. Jimmy spent most of the 00s in and out of the doctors office too, so much so he had to re-model his action and drop his pace while still in his 20s, not to mention other guys who never had extended runs.

Obviously not just the England set up but the county set up is a problem as well. So the question still stands...

It was true though, Lancashire have not kept him out of their side, you and your friend just making stuff up as far as I can see.

There is not a country that hasn't had an huge amount of bowlers that have had players crocked, it's modern cricket. Oz have got a few they can keep fit ATM, but they've lost a fair few over the years. It's all the same training and coaches, why you need to cherish the ones that stay fit and perform over many years.

 

[grecian]

Anyway Parkinson strikes in his first over, might be a good time to bag a few.

So Mahmood wasn't playing T20 cricket at home and abroad while being kept out of the red ball side?

 

[theegyptian]

Enjoying the contemptuous way Stokes is treating this Worcestershire bowling attack.

 

[grecian]

If it wasn't for Pakistan players not being at the IPL, there'd hardly be any wickets falling it feels.
