Don’t judge English cricket by the actions of that minor county.England have lost all credibility in their ball tampering ribbing after Durham made Bancroft captain. **** would rather have champagne in Perth than turn out for the county he's now in charge of. Will be popular in the dressing room, no doubt.
yes cook & hildreth's hundreds are first class, yet the third round of university v county teams starting on april 5th are not of first class status.Cook batting all day against the students hardly seems fair. Don't suppose they'll be too worried. How often do you get to bowl all day at a Knight.
Cook on 64 fc hundreds ( i assume the university games are still fc). So assuming 6 hundreds per summer which I would say is generous given the championship will likely be reduced in the next few years, means he'll likely need at least 6 years to reach 100 fc hundreds if he wants it, which is feasible given he's only 34. Seems unlikely though. Hildreth with his 45th today (assuming it's fc).
Notts players 974 f/c matches vThese First Class Uni games....
Notts have just scored 200 before lunch on day 1...
Labuschagne is an interesting selection. Not been doing well in Shield cricket, might be on the A tour although that is probably a bit unlikely because of the first point. I have my doubts about him being any good.Glamorgan have signed Marnus labushcnage as overseas
