Chris Schofield actually got to bowl for Lancashire today - 3-14 in 5 overs.
Yes I would.chris.hinton said:you would not say that about giles
It's happened before...to better bowlers than Giles...marc71178 said:Yes I would.
If GIles bowled with those figures in a One Day game for Warwickshire I would be very disappointed.

But it doesn't warrant a "Well done" does it?Rik said:It's happened before...to better bowlers than Giles...
Dispite his figures I felt Batty bowled pretty well, so yes, it does warrent a "Well done"marc71178 said:But it doesn't warrant a "Well done" does it?
You be serious for a moment Chris.chris.hinton said:why?
Tim be serious
Conditions in England? how does Warne take 40 wickets every series and other leggies do well over here.... erm talking Bollocks is what you are Marcmarc71178 said:You be serious for a moment Chris.
You constantly attack me over this, but the conditions in England are not condusive to spin bowling, and that fact will not change.
Until we get a bowler even at FC level who can take wickets, then there is no point in talking about it.
At this moment in time there is one English Leg spinner, and he has consistently failed at Test level.
Show me someone who is good enough to play for England right now and I'll be surprised.
Luckyeddie you are talking great sense...luckyeddie said:Depends on the context of the game or the makeup of the side in question. A spinner can serve multiple purposes in a side - sometimes, bowling 'negatively' and drying up the runs can be highly beneficial from an attacking sense.
I know that sounds a bit of a contradiction but at school our side hardly lost any games in the 3 years I played in the first XI. We had a really good offie who was extremely accurate - typically going for around 2 runs an over - one game he took 4-8 off about 10 overs.
He didn't often get great bags of wickets but as an attacking strike bowler I used to reap the benefit of his accuracy as invariably batsmen tied down against him would try to attack my bowling - quite often to their cost.
I think the point that Terry Jenner was trying to make was that young leggies shouldn't be AFRAID to concede runs - and not to stop flighting the ball just because someone's getting after you.
It was at the start of the 2nd day, and they ended at about 556 or so!luckyeddie said:At the start of the third (?) day's play between Surrey and Derbyshire 2nd XI's, Scott Newman and Nadeem Shahid (Surrey) have currently moved on to 547-0.
Was Warne brought up over here? No.chris.hinton said:Conditions in England? how does Warne take 40 wickets every series and other leggies do well over here.... erm talking Bollocks is what you are Marc
If they're between 16 and 19, they are not good enough for FC Cricket, that's got nothing to do with making them bowl flat.chris.hinton said:there are 10 who are good enough to play first class cricket. but they are only between (16-19) and it the english coaches thing again? BOWL FLAT
Oh yes, blame the coaches - it had nothing to do with the fact he was simply not good enough did it?chris.hinton said:Salisbury you mean? the reason why he failed is that english coaches messed him up by trying to make him bowl flat and it upsetted his Method? also he needed more Mental ability
Never. That would have meant that over 1,100 runs were scored on the first day. I was questioning whether it was day 3 or day 4.marc71178 said:It was at the start of the 2nd day, and they ended at about 556 or so!
Rubbish you are more likely to get wickets with flighted ballsJacques Rudolph said:If Terry Jenner told me to loop the ball up and not worry about getting hit for six, I would tell him to go back to Australia...
If you keep the pressure on, batsmen make their own mistakes because of the pressure... its like getting wickets for free, interesting concept... And you can always throw in the odd flighted ball just to mix things up a little...
