I wish he could bat like that for England.

I bet he wishes he could face bowlers of the ability of Greenidge, Hardinges, Ball, Fisher in the ODI arena as well.

It’s pretty hard to say considering how flat the Oval wickets have been this year (I fancy myself to score some runs on those wickets). But from what I have seen of him in four day cricket his improved immensely from last season but the fact of the matter is he seemingly always coming in at number five or six with the scorecard already on 350 plus against tired and weary bowling attacks who are just asking to get annihilated. Also he still has this problem of batting on sheer adrenaline and he does get a bit carried away with himself. It is fine in the one day game but last season especially he was doing some stupid stuff at crucial periods in the game.

His record away from the Oval is not that impressive and I’ve seen him against one or two decent fast bowlers this year and his looked a bit iffy but I could see him playing one day cricket for England in the future. David Graveney says his pretty close to getting a call up and he can not be any worse than what we currently got. At least he goes down blazing not like Bell, Strauss and co. like a damp squib and anyone who saw his huge one day score on Sky recently knows the bloke has talent.

Yeah, I was only thinking in terms of the oneday side, especially after his big innings the other day. Not that I'm arguing he should be picked yet, but I just wondered what people that had actually seen him think. Thanks for the info.

we didn't bat well 135-9 but Durham are currently 32-3 after 8, Smith has 3-0-13-2

Durham won with 4 balls to spare, Benkenstein being the main contributor with the bat as he often is, hitting a rapid 50.

Indeed, the two consecutive sixes from Marshall's last over sealed it. Must rankle you that your main contributer is a foreign mercenary eh Scaly?

As much as it'll rankle Langeveldt when in a Twenty20 game tonight Somerset dropped a catch off the last ball of the game turning a tie into a defeat.
