***Official*** English Domestic Season 2009

[stumpski]

Middlesex look like denying Derbyshire the win that would be a huge boost to their promotion prospects - the 9th wicket pair have held out for 20 overs.

Let us know how things go with Mrs Z, won't you.

Mrs Z is fine thanks, as is the bouncing baby girl who was born yesterday. Puts cricket into a bit of perspective!

 

[stumpski]

Certainly does, many congratulations on the new addition to the family.

Timing is a bit awry though, it was really next winter you could've done with the sleepless nights!

Thanks stumpski. Yep our first child (full name Ella Goodwin Mushtaq Zaremba) was conveniently born in late October '07 which fitted in quite nicely with the England tour to Sri Lanka. My wife couldn't believe how keen I was to get up and do the early feeds.

Not sure how it'll work this time round for Georgia Nash Yardy Zaremba.

 

[fredfertang]

Disappointed you haven't called her Pushy

Ah, well Pushy wasn't on the SCCC books when we were shortlisting names. And Yassir Arafat, who was, wouldn't do because (a) Mrs Z quite fancies him and (b) the little 'un would be refused a visa to half the countries in the world with that sort of middle name

Can't argue with that - still there's always next time

 

[zaremba]

We'd better watch out or someone will warn us re conducting private / OT discussions here. Just talk Man Talk! Cricket! Wrestling! Grrrrr!

 

[fredfertang]

Personally I think discussing naming offspring after favourite cricketers is a legitimate subject for CC - although this ain't the thread I suppose

Jesus. How'd you square choosing those names with your wife?

 

[zaremba]

Mrs Z and I considered Botham and Pratt as middle names and although she admitted that they went well together she maintained that they sounded too northern - "I'm not having my child named after a couple of ****ing Inuit" were her exact words IIRC

When my twins were about five days old I took them downstairs for a night feed. Missus was like, "it's okay just feed them in the bedroom." Guess she didn't realise that I couldn't watch Colly destroying the Aussies up there.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yorkshi*e in a fair bit of trouble. 185 ahead with 3 wickets remaining.

 

[stumpski]

Yeah, a chase of 230 in 45 overs or so could make for an interesting afternoon down there. Yorkshire's tail has wagged pretty well most of the season though.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

200-odd ahead with one wicket left, game on down at Hove.

 

[Manee]

Chawla is a star once more, he really would be 'pushying' for a Test spot if Harbhajan and Mishra hadn't been performing so well.

 

[Jarquis]

200-odd ahead with one wicket left, game on down at Hove.

Pushy with a 5fer, needs one more for a 10WM.
Just seen Hamilton-Brown's knock. Jeez.

 

[Uppercut]

Sussex require 239 to win. This could be a seriously good game.

 

[zaremba]

Yep there's a glimmer of hope. Not sure if there's going to be enough time left though. Any idea of how many overs remain?

 

[Jarquis]

Chawla (41) and Smith(32) bowled 73 overs off Yorkshire's 98.1 over long second innings between them
