*Official* English Domestic Season 2006

[TT Boy]

Scotland will suprise a few counties this year in the CGT...

You heard it hear first. Before you start Im not Scottish but having seen them last year and in pre-season I have a feeling that they will a few counties by suprise this year. I wanted to get this in before thier first CGT match tomorrow and Ill giver you the players to look out for...

Bowling....Ryan Watson is a handy little spinner who is also very good with the bat. Craig White is in the Harmison mould and can be deadly but destorys his figures by having the odd double figure over. Paul Hoffman is a brilliant fast bowler and probably the most deadly and able of the line up. Madien is the other spinner ands is a bit hit and miss but if on form is very capable of causing county bastmen real problems. Hopefully Lyons and Wreeaantha will be no where near the pitch but I think giving Nel a chance at this level is worth the risk. Very solid fast bowler will real pace and conistency.

Batting...Watson is aslo very good with the bat but Lockhart is the man to look for and if he gets going he can cause damage. Stanger is equally as good and Colin Smith the wicketkeeper is very nifty with the bat. Fraser Watts is a real talent who for some reason struggles to get off the mark but once he does he can have a great innings.

Bless...

If Warwickshire really wanted to do they could have got 400 pretty easily.

Also another 50 for the Vince Vaughn look-alike Jonathan Trott, his one day record is superb.

Scotland took a right pasting from Warwickshire, Knight making a ton to go with Neil Carter's savage effort of 135 (86), 16x4, 8x6. 351-2. Ouch.

The new Ian Austin giving it some welly.

 

[steds]

Brown, you ****ing turncoat.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Got to love some dirty slogging from Neil Carter!

Maiden List A century takes his career average to 19.75!

Reasonable fightback from the Irish, but they'll need a miracle from Shahid O'fridi to have any hope.

EDIT: Beaten by LE by a matter of moments!

8-6-4-3 sounds like a miracle to me - Gloucs all out 146! Should have known the pitch took turn when Michael Ball had 3-0-3-2 at one point...

Still, Saqlain nought for 32!

Edit: Isn't it somewhat sad that an international side beating one of 18 domestic sides of another nation qualifies as "upset"?

 

[Great Birtannia]

Three day tour games are such a waste of time for all concerned.

Sri Lanka declared for 166 against Derbyshire!

Birt failed in the first innings but got stuck into Murali in the second making 83 off 53 (12X4s, 2X6s).

Chris Taylor has continued on his good form, I think he was the guy all the previewers were paying out Derbyshire for recruiting after averaging 17 last year. Great start to the season.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Bloody rain going to ruin my day out at the Rose Bowl. Ah well, with any luck we'll get to see a bit of Twenty20, or even Ten10 like Essex v Glamorgan.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Weakened Lancashire side out today, with one of Mullaney or Marshall to play. Hopefully we'll see a bit of Simon Marshall, but with Crook and Keedy in the squad will they risk a third spinner?

 

[Pothas]

Hampshire 12 for 4 at the moment im very glad i didnt go.

 

[Pothas]

wow 30-4 now!!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Mark Cosgrove smashed 75 off 57 against Ireland. Probably would have been much more if Ireland hadn't had Saqlain and Afridi to stem the tide...

 

[Pothas]

KP seems to be coming to the rescue

 

[andyc]

Does Shane Watson have a county contract this season? He was with Hampshire last year, wasn't he?

 

[The Baconator]

He was with Hampshire last season when Warne was playing in the Ashes, but he doesn't have anything this season.

 

[Pothas]

Does Shane Watson have a county contract this season? He was with Hampshire last year, wasn't he?

He turned an offer from Hamphire down.

 

[Pothas]

Pieterson gone for 98 and that puts Essex back on top.

Close, got over half of Lancashire's score at least.

Someone please reassure me that Simon Jones hasn't gotten injured playing against flippin Ireland...

Bet365 had live betting for this match, and when I saw how crap Zaheer Khan was apparently bowling I had to jump on board the Lancashire train.

Sounds like Stuart Law played a gem.

Does Hick always bat at 5 for Worcestershire?

 

[TheEpic]

Aaargh, why has Jones stopped bowling after 7.1 overs!!?!?

I'm scared.
