**Official** County Cricket 2018

[S.Kennedy]

Doesn’t mean he can bowl though. He’s never looked like a Test or international bowler. What relevance is Moeen Ali to anything?

I was under the impression you were a fan of his bowling, deeming him England's frontline spinner? You certainly snap enough if anyone dares to include a Leach, a Bess or a Crane on their hypothetical England team sheets.

The ECB are wrapping Woody in wool for the world cup.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Carnage at Old Trafford.

 

[Gremlin]

Doing a bit at OT I assume this morning

 

[fredfertang]

The Championship shouldn't start until after the IPL has finished

 

[S.Kennedy]

From a neutral perspective I really want Notts to lose three quick wickets for no runs.

 

[SeamUp]

Great start back to life in Division 1 by Notts

9 for Ball
8 for Gurney

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lancashire

 

[S.Kennedy]

This is hilarious.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

If Lancashire had got another 10 they may have had a chance.

 

[Gnske]

What a pissweak chase this is from Notts

 

[SeamUp]

Notts will make it interesting this year with their batting line-up being really average.

But seriously Manchester...

 

[Bijed]

Wtf at Lancs/Notts One of my favourite scorecards for ages

 

[Starfighter]

Lancs/Notts and Middlesex/Northants read like matches from the 1890s.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Someone at Worcestershire seemingly hasn't got the memo about Travis Head and his customary h4x 4th innings, the rest of his team utterly collapsed. Ah well, would remind him of home.

 

[Starfighter]

That's about as Travis Head as you can get.

Kent vs Gloucs is pretty 1890s too. I love it when lots of teams get skittled.

 

[Larwood's_boots]

So bbc policy, as far as I can see, is that we can only listen every other day. Anyone have a clue what’s going on with the website?

 

[S.Kennedy]

Definitely a seamers' round as expected. I am counting six five-fores (Gurney, Ball, Higgins, J. Harris, Stone, Hutton) and only one century (Wiese's 106).

 

[Borges]

I think Stewart is right on both counts:
a cut-off date for joining the IPL
and the ECB passing on the 20% they receive for a non-ECB-contracted player to the county which lost the player.
Curran departure leads frustrated Stewart to call for IPL cut-off date - ESPNcricinfo

 

[ImpatientLime]

no inspectors out and about?

Apparently the counties did not even know about that until the recent meeting!
