Test buildup
Flintoff tonked Middlesex around with 111 off 111 balls - 12 fours 4 sixes.
Carlisle scores 139 on his birthday against Warwickshire. (20 fours 2 sixes)
Good for him to get some runs under his belt!
Vaughan 47 off 67. 6 fours. He seems to be struggling a bit.

<quack> I will translate that comment for the benefit of other Cricket Web officionados.marc71178 said:
Steve Harmison today produced the remarkable personal bowling analysis of 2-30 from 21 overs for Durham at Stockton. Amazingly, there hasn't been a single wide so far in the Worcestershire innings. Umpires Jones and Kitchen are taking up the offer of a free vision check at Specsavers later today.
Look out for Devil Ducky's Diary - coming soon.

'sneak' preview of what Devil Ducky's Diary will look like....
Devil Ducky's Diary
Thursday, 15 May 2003
It's been a long hibernation, but it's good to be back. What did you say? Ducks don't hibernate? Well, this one flew south for the winter (on a 747 owned by the very nice people at Malaysian Airlines) for the World Cup, but I missed my flight home and had to 'do it myself' - so put my seven week absence from Cricket Web down to, er, a bit of a lie-in while I recovered.
So, what's happened since then? Well, Pakistan have improved their ODI over rate at last. In the Sharjah Cup (in which they were victorious), they left out Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis and played with THREE spinners, completing their overs well inside the stipulated time rather than having the usual 2 or 3 overs docked. I asked coach Javed Miandad whether this was down to his new, positive approach, but he said that it was more down to the airline refusing to carry zimmer frames any more.
Oh yes, the TVS Cup in Dhaka. Ajit Agarkar made his long-awaited comeback with a ruthless performance against the world class outfit that is, er, Bangladesh. 'Nuff said. I think this tournament could be summed up in two words - 'It rained'.
Shahid Afridi signed for Derbyshire. He made his debut, hit a six, got out. At the time of writing, he has really added something to the Derbyshire middle order. 25 runs at an average of 6.25.
The long-awaited test series between the West Indies and Australia ended just as the pundits predicted - with the Aussies sledgi... sorry, victorious. Cricket fans the world over stood as one and applauded the person who made the sensational West Indian world record possible in the final match - Martin Love. What a slipper. I must say, I'm very impressed with the new Windies all-rounder. What's his name? Oh yes, Vasbert. Hang on - he's older than Corky.
Mal Loye won the 'Player of the Month' award. That's rich. He's lying 26th in the averages and 27th in the number of runs scored. Still, at least it wasn't Mark Ramprakash. Who ran the ballot - Robert Mugabe or George Bush?
The England squad for the first test against Zimbabwe is due to be announced in a couple of days time. Alec Stewart obviously feels under pressure at the moment because the pundits are tipping Chris Read or James Foster for the gloves. Personally, I'd like to see Luke Sutton get a go, but then again I'm biased. Anyway, I digress. Alec suggested that there are too many overseas players in the English game today. Alec - we were rubbish with one overseas player per county, we're rubbish with two. I don't see the difference. Anyway, on current form, Alec's still the man. A solid knock in Surrey's current game against Leicestershire (he made 71) and a couple of smart catches. The only thing he dropped was his bus pass.
James Anderson responded to critics in the best possible way this week with a hat-trick for Lancashire against Essex. His second victim was England skipper Nasser Hussain. I guess Anderson doesn't make the test side, then.

That's just what I had in mind when I suggested it, DD

Spoken to Neil about this already and he detests the idea but it seems to me that the same old thing is happening with Mark Ramprakash......I have a feeling he may well find his name in the England squad yet again . Opinions......?
P.S. There's still hope for you yet Neil, Ian Salisbury managed to swipe himself a first-class ton... (My God, how bad were the bowlers?:O) yet
R Clarke c Nixon b DeFreitas 0 off 10

The duck has plenty to say about both of these - Rampers and Salisbury Steak - and others (but you'll have to wait until tomorrow).PY said:Spoken to Neil about this already and he detests the idea but it seems to me that the same old thing is happening with Mark Ramprakash......I have a feeling he may well find his name in the England squad yet again

If Ramprakash is in the England XIII then I may have to get myself to Lord's and perform a double protest against both Zimbabwe and England's selectors..
Leicester bowled everyone but Trevor Ward, and Brad Hodge (6-fer for Aus 'A' vs SA 'A') took 0/50 off 7. Salisbury took 160 balls and hit 9 fours and 3 sixes.
Special mention to Martin Bicknell, 4-4-0-2 in the Leicester 2nd innings
I expect the Lord's 13 to be:
ME Trescothick
MP Vaughan
MA Butcher
*N Hussain
JO Troughton
A Flintoff
+AJ Stewart
AF Giles
AR Caddick
SJ Harmison
JM Anderson
RWT Key
MJ Hoggard
If I was the sole selector, my 13 would be:
ME Trescothick
MP Vaughan
MA Butcher
*N Hussain
JO Troughton
A Flintoff
+CMW Read
AF Giles
SJ Harmison
JM Anderson
MJ Hoggard
IR Bell
Kabir Ali
