A long way, but with figures like that he might have the talent to make the step up

Yeah, it's pretty damming on the four sides that were in action today really. Poor effort.

They were clearly worried about the weather in the t20, glos-glam seemed a decent game.

Safe to assume he's got no future at Sussex then?Hello is there anyone there?????
Seems Monty has been signed by Essex, didn't see that one coming.

So with him signing for Essex he may yet be on the winter tour after all as he has signed for the right county. Has to take this chance. Hope he does.

I think he'll tour with England. They had to punish him in some way but it'll easier to include him in a couple of months time.
Gutting for Craddock. Finally gets into the team but likely won't play again all season with Panesar coming in. Blow for Northants as well as Essex have the best chance of chasing them down for the promotion spot.

Yeah, I was certain he'd go to Northants. Clever from the white-stilletto-boys really.

It is the problem with sky predetermining the games they select and having to cover an equal amount of games of each county.
Both teams are out of the comp and warwickshire have a four game starting tomorrow. Just too many easy runs to be had for random batsmen.
The GlosGlam game yesterday at the start of the season would have looked a complete dross pit but it had big consequences for the group (Now group c stands Somerset 15 from 11 games, Glos 15 from 11 games, Gla 13 from 10). Glos would have been glad that sky weren't there yesterday as they've been terrible every time they've turned up this year.

I wasn't really criticizing Warwicks though, most of the bowlers are genuinely out of contention.
I'm just annoyed that I can't bang on about how awesome Moeen Ali is, because this attack is just poor. Mind you Jeets is one of the worse amongst them, and he's an international bowler.

Yes I know you weren't.
The two points of importance for me are
1) Wish sky would show just a little more flexibility with their schedules. Having terrible games like this with nothing riding on it and with half teams does little for promoting the game.
2) Too much cricket is played and with a poor schedule and as a result you get games like today played. How does this prepare Moeen Ali for international cricket? Facing 3 average medium pacers, one decent spinner and Javid with his non spinning **** balls. This must be a great competition for all batsmen. A lot of the games it's first xi batting vs second xi bowling. White ball hardly swings. No wonder average players like Cobb or Trego can batter attacks.
Moeen is a decent player and good to watch but this innings does nothing to improve him or proving to the selectors that he's worth selecting.
Sky Ashes has been a bit of a failure to be honest. No need at all for the same reruns of those games, although it was a clever way to save program costs whilst the football season wasn't on.
Yeah I rate Ali, and he certainly should be in consideration when we play ODIs in the subcontinent as his spin is more than useful but today tells us very little about him.
