Does anyone know where i can get up to date results of a club called St. Blazey? They play in the Cornwall league i think? I have an ex-team mate playing for them, can't seem to find any results.

Well, a bit of searching on play-cricket reveals they play in Division 2 East - who don't really have much of a result service. Only match I found was St Blazey 1 v Truro 2

Edit: Wow. Beaten by Anna by 11 minutes. :D

I just knew Andy Flower would score a hundred for Essex today, because Somerset's spin "attack" meant he would be in his element. I wish I had been there to see it. This is the day I probably would have chosen to go if I was in Devon, which makes it doubly annoying.

Yeah but you don't chose Arul Suppiah to bowl when you have the worlds greatest player of spin at the other end, on probably the smallest FC ground in the world.. It was a predictable mauling

Another good day's work by Derbyshire - a healthy lead over Chris's Worcestershire.

Chris Hinton, that is.... the guy who said they should be thrown out the league because they were so bad.

Well, it's early days in the season, I know, but I feel more optimistic that we might actually reach the dizzy heights of eighth or even seventh this year. So far, we've toughed it out against HRH Surrey, squeaked a tight finish against the Taffs and now we're going well against that side from the boating lake.

I reckon my avatar bet is looking quids in.

Random Carter opening fails.

Does anyone know if we can sub in Ian Bell now England don't want him?

Probably, Jon Lewis got in for Gloucestershire and saw off Northants. And as Anyon didn't bowl in the second innings, I think they've already done the substitution.

Kabir Ali takes 7-43 against Derbyshire who're all out for 149 setting Worcestershire 210 to win. Should be interesting on here whoever ends up winning.

Derbyshire are absolutely on fire at the moment. They currently have Worcs 96-7 chasing another 114 to win (although with Ray Price still in anything is possible) This column is by the local radio commentator, on why he thinks they've started doing so well:

BBC Radio Derby said:
Self Belief
Charles Collins can see a side full of players who actually believe they can win.

I was having a discussion with one of Derbyshire’s long suffering fans last season. We'd just lost a game we should have (yet again) won, and he said: "It takes a special kind of masochist to keep supporting this club, but unfortunately, I'm hooked."

I know exactly how he felt. How many times in recent years have Derbyshire grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory in both one day and four day games.

However, and I hope I don't speak too soon, things seem to be different this season, to quote Bob Dylan: "Times, they are a changing."

How many of you really thought, when Derbyshire collapsed late in their first innings against Glamorgan at Cardiff: "Here we go again"? Come on, be honest!


Then, with Glamorgan looking for a decent first innings lead, Ian Hunter destroyed the tail, only for Derbyshire to be all out for 192 in their second innings. Groans and cries of "Typical!"

Then Glamorgan were 69 for seven, with their old boy Steffan Jones destroying them and we're thinking: "It's normally our old boys destroying us," ...and before we knew it, Peng and Croft have added 90 odd, and that old sinking feeling starts again. But not this year as Hunter and Jones wipe up the tail.

But before all that was fully digested, we're at home to Leicestershire in the C&G, need only 190 off 45 overs to win, and we're cruising.

The average Derbyshire fan isn't comfortable though, even though Chris 'The Blond Bombshell' Taylor is not out at one end, as at the other, Stubbings, DiVenuto, Birt and Adnan all seem to go too cheaply. Out strides Graeme Welch to the crease with two overs left to score six runs. Should be easy? No. I don't think Graeme cares about my delicate health as he bats for three dot balls against Maddy, and now we need six in nine deliveries rather than in 12.

To say we reacted with joy as he bashed the next delivery over long off for six is to understate it. All of a sudden we have a team with steely self belief.

Okay, Dave Houghton has put it together on a budget, and it's early says yet, but for me it seems we at last are ready to compete with the best. The only loss this season was to Sri Lanka, and I remain convinced that had the game gone four days we would have won that.

There are a couple of points to illustrate that. At one stage when Glamorgan were rallying in their second innings, Steffan Jones came to field near the boundary at long off, just in front of where I was commentating. He looked up, smiled, and gave me the thumbs up. He KNEW Derbyshire were winning that game. Steffan's attitude, the way he runs in breathing fire, has really impressed me. If a batsman cuts or drives him for a boundary, the next delivery often fizzes through at nostril height.

And after the win against Leicestershire, I remarked to Chris Taylor that I'd been nervous when Botha went for seven, with 12 runs still needed.

He said, and I quote: "As soon as I saw Graeme Welch walking out I knew we'd win."

Confidence. You can't buy it, but it's great to see it becoming ingrained at the County Ground. If Derbyshire can keep it up for a while I might even get some for myself.

And they've won this one as well, despite some near heroics from my all-time favourite cricketer at the end. Ray just wasn't quite able to see Worcs home.

Excellent victory for Hampshire. A good team bowling performance today and good to see Tremlett fit and getting some wickets.

Price hung on in there for a while but the wagon rolls on. I'm glad I hopped on early and got the seats with the best leg room. My AFL team managed to win the pre-season, the first two games of the season proper before being installed premiership favourites and losing the next four, only breaking the sequence tonight. I'm just waiting for the wheels to fall off :unsure:
