**Official** County Cricket 2017

Podmore with the wicket of Holden in the Glamorgan/Northants game. Both on loan from middlesex. James Harris also from Middlesex on loan at Kent

Fidel Edwards hitting the stumps three times - maybe Yorkshire are going to struggle for a change

Relieved to see Jordan Clark and Dane Vilas steadying things for Lancs - I think Clark may be a better player than I've given him credit for in the past

Typical Yorkshire being useless on the rare occasion you want them to do well. Ballance on course for a century though, so that'll be an automatic England recall based on last season's rules.

Stoneman getting a century on his proper debut for Surrey. Borthwick there with him.

You were saying...

Big Rory not ****ing around. 50 off 23 balls. Scored as many runs in this innings than he did all year for the Cobras.

 

[TT Boy]

Some opening spell from Coad by the looks of it. Yorkshire well on top now.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Aye dismissing the top 5 in 8 overs is pretty handy

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't even know who Ben Coad is.

Intriguing development

 

[Watson33]

Got to be right up there for one of the fastest 5-for's in FC cricket in England surely? Impressive considering they're all top order batsmen too!

Seen the name before but no idea if he is any good. Obviously was today though, some effort that.

Indeed. Pretty good day.

 

[Gnske]

Gary showing great poise and Ballance as captain it seems. A summer against South Africa seems to beckon for him regardless of whether he makes the test team.

Really do hope Pattinson stays fit through the season for Notts, great start for him sharing the spearhead duties with Jardine Jr.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hadn't realised Hampscum's 5 foreigners (plus Wheal who's South Africa/Scottish) were keeping Crane and Alsop on the sidelines.

What a vile outfit they are. It's a shame we have to wait a season for them to **** off to division 2 where they belong.

 

[Bijed]

Coad with his 6th

Actually I'd forgotten how much I enjoy following the county championship - I find seeing how the former/prospective England players are doing to be very interesting

 

[fredfertang]

Parry!!!!!

 

[fredfertang]

And again!!!!!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

All is right with the world as Bresnan is getting wickets.

 

[Howe_zat]

Noted Australia batsman Peter Handscombe must be wishing he were as good as Gary Ballance right now

 

[wpdavid]

Footitt enjoying himself hugely - 6 wickets for 7 against Warwickshire as we speak.

 

[Compton]

Unlucky not to get his maiden hundred after running out of partners, Patto reminding us that he bowls a bit, too.
