*Official* English Domestic Season (2004)

[Langeveldt]

A little bit.

If we hit our straps, we should romp Div 2 IMO - we are a blatant First Division side.

Thats the biggest load of waste I have heard all day...

 

[Tom Halsey]

Maybe not romp it - but promoted easily - we have the Flower brothers (Grants coming over next year) Kaneria, Cowan (who can definately bowl, if that damn knee injury is sorted) Jefferson, Bopara who has talent may have learnt how to build an innings by next year, Irani, Napier is a very good player, Foster can definately play, etc.

As far as I am concerned, me made a huge mess of it this year (we should have easily been up this year, too) and I don't expect us to make the same mistake.

You'll be fighting it out for second though behind the mighty Lancashire

Isn't Cook the better prospect?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Kent throw away what looked like an easy win near the end to lose to Northants and Warks are DOWN

 

[Langeveldt]

1) How old is Johann Louw?
2) Does he want to play ODI's for England or South Africa?
3) When Can he start?

Somerset may be up there too.. signs that they've remembered how to play cricket.

Though a Matt "I've not actually done very well playing for Exmouth in the Devon League" Wood century doesn't suggest that Notts were trying.

No worse then picking Gareth Batty or Richard Dawson.

Which says absolutely nothing about his ability.

But seeing as you think Manure will win the league, your opinion is disregarded.

When was the last time a quality side got that many runs in the first innings and lost?

 

[marc71178]

They did it against Kent and Warwickshire too, at the end - short memory there.

Not as weak as last night by any stretch of the imagination - 7 changes?!

Seeing as it's a CC record, I'll safely suggest "never".

 

[Langeveldt]

Well Somerset had this, penatrative bowling lineup against Nottinghamshire today...

Is this the most powerpuff pile of rubbish you have ever seen brandishing a white cricket ball??

Francis 7 2 45 0
M Parsons 6 0 43 1 (2w)
Andrew 9 0 62 1
Laraman 9 1 43 2 (1w)

Blackwell did ok..but i guess he wasnt bowling when Franks decided to let loose?

It's just abysmal... Im seriously thinking about commuting to Bristol to watch my cricket in future... It might be a hassle, but at the moment, the only decent cricketers are on the visiting team....

Most of which were injury, though - so they didn't have a chouce over plenty of them.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Have to say that it's a bit of a shame that the CC champions aren't going to be in the top division of the one day league next year...

Wouldnt mind seeing Warwickshire dish out a proper beating down here at Taunton though...

Yes, about as injured as the Manure players are come International Friendlies...
