*Official* English Domestic Season (2004)

Hopefully today will have cleared the rain otherwise i'll just be in the pub all day on thursday instead of watching the test!

Amen to that - 2 trips to Manchester for no Cricket in 2 months would be very annoying indeed.

Of course, larges amounts of Red Stripe would dull the pain somewhat!

 

[marc71178]

Yeah, the pond in the park is dried up now.. like a wadi you could build a house in the bottom!

So it's small compared to your back garden then?

Daves Weather forecast.

Thursday- North West
Cloudy but dry start in the morning, mysteriously clearing up once West Indies have been bowled out for thirty seven to leave not a cloud in the sky during the afternoon with temperatures hitting thirty.

meanwhile storms in Worcestershire lead to flash floods and Kadeer Ali is struck by lightning

That's the last time I take advice from you! (w***ker!)

You should have(as I allways advise) put everything you own on Leics

Aye, but I can't go against the mighty Lancashire. Anyway, I think you might be a touch biased, and betting on a team just because you follow them is like crossing the road blindfolded.

Mighty - my **** - they're getting smashed by Surrey at the moment! 209 - 9 although it's much better than 71 - 5.

Middlesex are 35 - 2 in their response to Sussex's 314...we need Sussex to beat Middlesex now...

The Bears - come on YOUUUU BEARS - are 173 - 3. Bell is on 86, Trott on 50 - a good fightback by the future England internationals...need to beat Kent.

Northants - 194 - 2. The "Great" Kabir Ali 1 - 50 going at a wonderful 3.85.

In Division Two now....

Hampshire are 163 - 3 with Rob Croft taking 2 - 24 and Brown 85*.

Notts are 166 - 3. Gallian made 66 and Cleary has taken 2 - 35. Rob Warren is also 51*.

And on a side note - England U19s are giving Bangladesh a hammering. Currently 254 - 5 with Hildreth making 120* and Davies 52*. A shaky start of 142 - 5 is now looking rather impressive. Only 20 runs behind now...

This concludes today's 15:46 County and other crap matches round-up...don't expect more from me tomorrow because I will be getting soaked at Old Trafford...LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Bell is on 95...get ready for a mad clapping session!

Hildreth impresses again...and unlike the other young english batsmen who are hyped this one is actually scoring runs to go with it.
Also a nice 40 for Davis...Worcestershires most promising youngster since Solanki / Hick apparently.

They're just setting it up for a more exiting fourth day victory

6 tons this season for Bell.

6 tons this season for Bell.

I know its hard on Key as he;s the top scorer and probably deserves it but i just feel the sooner Bell is in the england team the better! I just hope he doesnt get knocked back even more when Pieterson comes avaliable.

Its really horrible seeing Hildreth smack runs.. I played against him at school, and now he is hitting 200's for England.. It makes me feel so bloody unfulfilled, and my ex girlfriend fancies him... What a nobhead...

About as big as your ego...

Bell may turn out to be the best player never to play for England...Pietersen should come in for Thorpe...Bell for Key...and there is your top order - providing they are good enough!

Neil's weather forecast:

Heavy overnight rain clearing to allow play to start on time or more likely an hour or so late. Afternoon to be unsettled, with sunny spells accompanied by decent temperatures of 24-25 degrees interrupted by short, sharp showers.
