County Cricket 2022

[Lillian Thomson]

Northants the first side not to top 500 against Kent this season. Admittedly they still made 430, but it's a start.

 

[grecian]

Harry Brook in some form, really look forward to how he handles carrying those drinks next week.

 

[Blenkinsop]

Yeah well it's got to be tough to break into such a well established, high performing batting unit.

 

[Chubb]

I think McCullum will send a message and pick him. It's the kind of statement we expected before the squad was named and he disappointed.

 

[theegyptian]

Middlesex on for a big score at Radlett.

Lancs squad for Yorkshire tomorrow looks tasty, especially as they are still missing the likes of Buttler, Mahmood.

County Xi doing decently vs New Zealand.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

are Yorkshire really Vikings now? At least they could have the decency to spell it Jorvikshire

 

[Niall]

Utter scandal that Stirling has never got an IPL contract while various Aussie mugs have ,,hello Aaron "I fail every year in the IPL" Finch.

It's just so weird to name your team after an ethnocultural group. Weirder still when it's not most identifiably your own.

Middlesex Visigoths
Durham Nubians
Lancashire Bedouins
Hampshire Mandinkas
Northamptonshire Berbers
Glamorgan Cossacks
Worcestershire Mongols
Warwickshire Scythians

One or two of those have a ring to them to be fair.

 

[ImpatientLime]

I mean Yorkshire was heavily populated by Scandinavians after the invasion of the Great Army in the 860s who settled there for new lives. But yeah more identifiable I suppose with your local team in Tromso than Leeds.

wtf am I posting this for in the county cricket thread

Yorkshire had some T20 team against Worcestershire. They wont have that every match but that side would win the T20

 

[grecian]

This Leicestershire-Derby match a good advert for Test Cricket, The ladies T20 much more fun.

Is Buttler expected to play for Lancs? Him along with David and Livingstone would be a bit of a nightmare lineup to face.

I don't see why not, not sure he's in the test reckoning.

TRJ is genuinely pushing for an england place I reckon, if what Keys says that it's the best team available to win a matchregardless of age, he should play if we get another injury or two, which let's face it is odds on.

Would be funny after the push for yoof in the West Indies if we ended up with 3 seamers in their late 30s.

Salt and Buttler should be one of the most dangerous opening pairs in the country. Looking at today's scorecard, Livingstone and David are batting at 5 and 6, which strikes me as a place too low. Not that it caused David many problems on this occasion. But I'd want to give them a chance to completely bat their opponents out of the game, and Worcestershire still have a chance here.

 

[mackembhoy]

Sam Curran with a half century and a fifer in the same game!

Trying to find out if this has been done before. Surely very few instances?

Birmingham Vs Notts in the Blast was an 8 over match due to weather. What I noticed was both sides had a retired out batsman. Brathwaite for Birmingham and Samit Patel for Notts. Genuine injuries or Ashwin style shenanigans? Not sure how I feel on the latter.

Neither were injuries apparently, both were tactical retirements.

Brathwaite retired himself out because he wasn't picking the leg spinner who was due to bowl the next over (and in an 8 over game couldn't afford another low scoring over).

Samit was retired out by his team for the final ball of the game, which he wasn't due to face, because his teammates wanted someone faster as the non-striker who could potentially run a quick 2.
