English Domestic Season 2024
- Thread starter Third_Man
- Start date
I know he's only playing T20 cricket for them, but I would have thought that Lancashire must have been close to asking Steven Croft to come and play to help out if they are that short.
He could stand at slip if he didn't want to run around the field.

State 12th Man
The two uncontracted players are Barnard (a spinner) and Birkman (pace). Croft would not really cover either of those positions and Harry Singh would, I suspect, be called up before him as batting cover. But another Jennings back spasm and who knows. Croft will be present as he is on the coaching staff. Croft's last first class wicket was in 2019, bowled 17 overs in 2022 and 2023 combined.

Leicestershire selected 3 on loan players must be some kind of record?
Goldsworthy (from Somerset), Holland and Currie (from Hampshire)

David Bedingham run of 4 consecutive tons came to an end today. Dismissed by Harmer for 65 today.
5+ only managed by 8 people so would have joined an elite list.

Durham going very well 206/3 from 46 after winning toss and batting.

There's a fascinating duel going on at Worcester between Surrey's in-form batsman Jamie Smith and Worcester's loanee England bowler Shoaib Bashir. Smith's approach is to try and launch every other delivery out of the ground, but Bashir's too good for that. And his current figures don't show how well he's actually bowling.

Ollie Robinson with yet another ton for Durham. 126 not out and counting
Just averaging a mere 94 this season.
Can't do anymore to force his way into the England side.

Interestingly Lancashire have edited these early paragraphs from the ECB reporters network when cutting and pasting it onto their website:
"Although both sides have struggled all season, the crowd for the first day of the 172nd Canterbury week was estimated at over 2,000. Cars were queueing for half a mile down the Old Dover Road and moving so slowly that they were overtaken by hundreds of pedestrians walking up the hill.
If they'd come to see James Anderson they were disappointed. Despite making the trip south he was left out of the squad and, perhaps unable to believe his luck at having been asked to bat against an Anderson-free attack, Compton plundered 11 from Tom Bailey's opening over."
Sadly they seem to prefer to edit all reference to James Anderson and did not seem to realise that the next sentence doesn't make sense after their edit:
"The scoring rate soon slowed however."
They then edited out Anderson again:
"It wasn't a standard interval: the crowd realised Anderson was bowling at one stump on the outfield and around a hundred fans formed a circle to watch. When he'd finished it took him nearly five minutes to reach the pavilion as he stopped for dozens of selfies.
When the outfield had finally cleared Kent suffered a mini-collapse."
Why are they so embarassed to mention James Anderson? Are they just miffed that he apparently chose to play in a golf tournament in Ireland which ended yesterday?

Even ignoring the stupid two for a no-ball thing, is that a record for a legitimate over? Or was he sending down declaration bilge?

Which fast bowlers do you think will make England squad ?

Another 50 for Tom Lammonby. Been hit and miss since his break out season in the Bob Willis but seems to have added some consistency to his game this campaign.

Unlikely at that stage of the game.

Anderson, Woakes, Stokes, Wood and Robinson for first test. With one to miss out.
Then Cook for Jimmy second test would be my guess.
Kenneth Viljoen

Any chance for Atkinson or Potts ?

Potts hasn't had the best of seasons with the ball. Not sure how Atkinson has got on, not been in the wickets when I have looked at Surrey scorecards.
The press has said Cook likely the Jimmy replacement. He's currently out with an injury however so unsure how close he is to fitness.

Although ignore me this article from Telegraph reckons as well as Cook we'll see debuts for Pennington and Atkinson. With Woakes, Wood and Robinson rotated.
Sam Cook in line for England Test debut despite recent injury (archive.ph)
