Another turd of a performance from Durham, absolutely pathetic losing to Derbyshire.

Definately, but like Brown when he did get his chance for England he look a bit out of depth, but has continued to one one of the best bastmen in domestic OD & FC cricket. I just fear Benning may be of the same ilk, but i'd love to be proven wrong.

Possibly the most impossible innings in the history of English one-day cricket. I mean, 28 balls for 82*?
What is it about The Oval? First that game against Glamorgan now this. I mean, Benning was just a good one-day innings, Brown that sort of thing happens once every 4 seasons or so, but Clarke's was the sort of undreamt-of stuff.
Wonder what the boundaries were like there. Didn't realise what I'd just seen when I read that scorecard for the first time. Absolutely stupid.

Brown's domestic-OD record's never been crash-hot, though, he just produced the odd innings that no-one else has ever been able to. Might be better if he'd opened all the time and never been dropped to the middle-order, of course.
Benning looks a completely different case, though. If he doesn't get a ODI chance this summer there go our chances for 2011.

FFS, Brown's even older than Nixon. And Nixon was picked with a Cup around the corner, Brown will be 41 by the next one. What on Earth would be the point picking him for ODIs now? Especially given he's already a tried-and-failed case?

explain please

Eh? What explanation is needed? I can't believe an innings has been played which was scored so impossibly fast.
FFS, a strike-rate of 293!!!!!!!!!!! For an innings of eighty-two runs? Of course these things have not always been recorded, but I'd be amazed if that wasn't the fastest 70-plus innings in English one-day history.

doesnt make it important though, especially in the context of a 496 run innings

Does anyone know how many balls it took Clarke to reach 50? It's a pretty astonishing effort, and a huge margin of defeat as well. Would anyone bet against Surrey for the trophy??
Pleased to see Kent get their first win on the board, in spite of a battling display of the likes that we've come to expect from Ireland. Great knock from Denly - I think he has a big season ahead.

Eh? Of course it was important, it was probably the difference between 496 and 430 (which they'd already done).

I must have a different definition of 'important' then
