**Official** County Cricket 2016

Guptil a very good signing for the T20 for us, shame he's not available for it all

 

[theegyptian]

Durham have a nice balance to their team today. Good opening bowlers, rookie quick, international fast bowling allrounder, off and leg spinner.

6 mins in and we've got a handled the ball dismissal. Rob Key's replacement at Kent - Dickson.

Heavyweight clash at Edgbaston.

 

[91Jmay]

Great start for Bears. But need to knock out JFB quicktime. Yorkshire just keep on coming.

 

[Gnske]

The footage of Dickson's dismissal is just juice, so much time to think about what he was doing before he so calmly nudges it away.

The weirdest part is that he could have just used his foot or bat to nudge the ball away, which would have been fine and also easier, but for some reason he goes to the extra effort of bending down and using his hand

so weird

Leicestershire can't win again they'll hurt themselves. You can't just go cold turkey on losing when it's been a part of your system for so long

That is utterly, utterly bizarre. One of the more daft things I've seen on a cricket field.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, that is a total brainfart.

Woakes gets rid of Jonny B. We have a massive chance here to get them out for under 250.

i think i'd almost let him off with a warning because of exactly this (as a captain, of course). it's not like say the gooch one

 

[91Jmay]

Nick Browne and Rory Burns both have a shot at adding to the wheel of mediocrity. Cook should come into the test series in good form, even if the bowling he has faced has been crap.

 

[Dan]

Sanga went nuts

 

[Howe_zat]

It's such bullshit that SL are touring and Sangakkara will be hitting hundreds for Surrey

 

[91Jmay]

If they get absolutely destroyed in first few tests I wonder if he comes back to play Lords. (Not predicting they will get destroyed though).

 

[Bijed]

Roy going along nicely - any chance of him getting a test spot anytime soon. I know he hasn't exactly set the world on fire at international level so far, but I kinda reckon he'd punch above his weight in tests.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, he does have a bit of the Trescothick about him in that he looks brilliant at times. I have the same feeling about Daniel Bell-Drummond.

Dear god no.

Such was presumed about Hales too

Maybe its time England just settle for a Chetan Chauhan.

Averaging 31-32? Would be thrilled with that right now, tbh.
