***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

[Jungle Jumbo]

Saved by Cork. For once Sky exaggerated how good he is and he actually came off.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yeh our batting is abysmal without Loye, though i like the look of Croft.

Stuart Law and Brad Hodge. Such poor players.

The one-day batting, save the top three, has been abysmal for some time now.

Haha, true, but when Loye isn't playing it always looks weak, especialy when we're playing both Cross and Sutton.

EDIT: Cork:O

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair play to Corky, no sighters needed today.

I actually sniggered at Saj's last over too; 22 off it! Staggering to think he went to the world cup, really.

*ponders what the highest strike rate in a one-day innings is*

 

[BoyBrumby]

& Sky playing Here Comes Your Man over the closing montage. That'll do.

Why oh why did we not bowl Hodge??!!!

Someone with 6* off one ball, I would have thought. Pretty much impossible to get much higher than that.

Has that ever happened, though? Sixes to win a one-day game are pretty rare (IIRC only twice in internationals, both with settled batsmen)

YOu could hit a 6 then be ran out without facing another ball though

Could be last ball of a first innings though.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Lancashire doing their best to stuff up the chase here. There have been several mix-ups in the running in the last few overs alone, to which Northants' reply each time has been to drop the ball. Horton and Croft have joined the party by donating their wickets rather charitably, van der Wath responded by letting one through his legs on the boundary.

The biggest beneficiary of all this charitable goodwill has been Alex Wakeley, who has outperformed the three other offies on show today (Murali, Hodge, Brown), by some way. He's supposedly a batsman too, apparently.

Alex Wakely is primarily a batsmen. I know this as he's the nephew of a poster on the Exeter City fans' forum. Wakely is a fairly common cricketing surname down here!

 

[Benny2k1]

Is it me or is it worrying as an englishman that we saw 4 Seamers/All rounders and the most promising with the ball and bat were Cork and Chappell, not Smith and Mahmood

 

[Pup Clarke]

He runs in like he's gonna bowl at 100mph, and it rolls out at about 80, quite amusing really.

This is Kyle Hogg you're talking about?. His run up really suggests early 70s tbh.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Kent making good progress this morning - Stevens making 87 off 84 balls before being lbw to Rashid. Denly is impressing again, currently on 98*

 

[TT Boy]

Good to see Neil in Kent's four day squad, played last week and was rather unfortunate to miss out on a ton. Hope he does well.

Indeed and he bowls at a reasonably decent lick considering it.

Don't know why Kyle Hogg is so universally disliked, his record in one day cricket is decent and combined with his batting and fielding his a darn sight better option to Lancashire than the likes of Sajid Mahmood, who can not be trusted with new or old ball.

Denly's now 111*

Stevens didn't hang around did he? Hopefully Kent looking to declare to try and force a result.

Nobody said they disliked him...he's just not that good a bowler which is true. He might be good in a few years time but at present he's just not up to it tbh.
