English Domestic Season 2024

[Chin Music]

Yes, absolutely. I'm only saying that I wouldn't write off Somerset's chances, especially if they take the last three Lancashire wickets quickly.
Unless you were talking about Vaughan, but he did take wickets in Surrey's first innings last week as well as in their second. So he may have been worth a twirl sooner than we saw today, especially when some of the Lancashire batters had seen off the seamers to some extent.

I was more talking about Leach. He was never all that in the first half of matches, even if it is obvious slow bowlers are always going to prosper when wickets break up.

Bas De Leede bowling beautifully at the Oval.

Really stepping up in the absence of the 4 missing senior seamers.

Looking at how Lancs are going, Somerset really going to need us to get these final 5 wickets for less than 100 runs.

Where is Ben Raine?

 

[honestbharani]

One of the worst bit of umpiring I've seen

Why @GIMH Why?

Good decision

Good decision

So Dobell writes an article about it in which seems to be making important points on this matter and even making recommendations (using drs) for the future of county cricket. Yet he puts the article behind a paywall.

As he says: thoughts?

He's on paternity leave.

Clearly baby season at Durham, we were without Ackermann the other week too.

Congrats @chris.hinton happy for you guys, you've been through the ringer with New Road and injuries this season.

Even though it threatened to derail our own season, at least our lottery pitch in July has helped a worthy cause

Cheers and after the death of Josh Baker this has been an excellent end to a really horrible season

I mean it is a shocker in seriousness.

Some on twitter seem to be saying that it's not out because you can't be run out if you've left the crease thinking you're out. I don't see how Balderson could possibly claim that

All games are streamed. Not saying you need DRS but not having run out/stumping replays seems like an unnecessary omission.

Yes I can't believe I had forgotten about that.

The fact your lads have coped and still performed with such a tragic loss is testament to all of them

Congratulations to @Molehill on promotion.

[Yeoman]

In a manner which will please financial analysts, the trends evident in all of the matches yesterday have all been continued through the first session this morning.

 

[chris.hinton]

Sussex are promoted

Well done to them @Molehill

 

[chris.hinton]

Somerset need 393 to beat Lancashire

Surrey 415 v Durham 262 & 98-6 - This looks like Surrey will win so Somerset need to win to enable it to go down to the last match otherwise Surrey will win the CC again

 

[chris.hinton]

Results in Division Two


Gloucestershire 109 & 195 v Sussex 311

Sussex won by an innings and seven runs


Derbyshire 173 & 119 v Middlesex 358

Middlesex won by an innings and 66 runs

 

[Gremlin]

Just as I was about to look up Liam Dawson's stats he gets out. All my fault.

You can't help thinking England would be a better team with him in it for the Pakistan tour and beyond.... ah well.

 

[tony p]

So one of Yorkshire & Middlesex will miss out on promotion, who will it be.?
Yorkshire home to Northants and Middlesex go to Hove to face Sussex.

As the forecast is for rain next week there will be a lot of draws and Yorkshire will go up.

I suspect even with a full match in Yorkshire wouldn't lose and that would be enough to go up.

 

[Blenkinsop]

Toby Roland-Jones has been in an incredible purple patch for the last few matches, but I don't see much else to suggest Middlesex are good enough to go up or stay up.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Looks like we are going to get a full-house of positive results this round.
