***Official*** English Domestic Season 2009

[superkingdave]

Last played for Yorkshire about 10 years ago didn't he?

and the other umpire is former Durham player Michael Gough who is 29 and last played in 03. Must be near a record for the lowest combined age of umpires at this level

 

[superkingdave]

Haha I may be talking to myself but Rudolph has just taken out a Pigeon in mid air with a throw from the boundary

 

[stumpski]

Yeah I saw that, I wondered if they should have called 'dead ball.'

As for the umpires, I'm used to being older than all the players but when I'm older than all the umpires I'll feel really ancient.

Saw it too, that's one unlucky pigeon, never seen a fielder kill a bird, seen batsmen do it but never fielders.

 

[stumpski]

Middlesex 104-6 off 20 against Kent, what was going on there?


Northants had the right idea, they took Glamorgan for 195.

 

[Manee]

Middlesex 104-6 off 20 against Kent, what was going on there?

Were 38/4 and 57/5 at one point in time, tbf.

 

[stumpski]

Fair enough, it seemed odd that a team would settle for that sort of total with wickets in hand.

 

[stumpski]

Benning coming out at #7 (with 2 overs left) for Surrey. Should've been in long ago.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Just having a look at England's squad in the T20 WC in today's games.

Shah 1 off 5
Morgan 7 off 19
Key 4 off 4
Davies (who's not in the squad) 73 off 48
Rashid 2 off 3 & 1-25 in a match of sub 120 scores
Collingwood 9 off 12 & 1-25 off 3
Sidebottom 1-5 off 3
Swann 1-47 off 4
Napier 1-29 off 4
Bopara 1-31 off 4
Mascarenhas 10 off 12
Wright 0-20 off 3 (from 122-7)

Probably missed someone out.

Not stunning is it?

Oh dear.

Scaly, out of interest, what would your England T20 squad be?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hard to say, but I wouldn't have picked Key or Foster. Would have picked Davies probably. Not overly keen on Mascarenhas and Rashid either. Just think Mascarenhas is too limited and his bowling is only slightly better than Collingwood, so why bother having both?

 

[stumpski]

Best finish of the day? Leics want 9 off 4 balls to beat Durham.

 

[superkingdave]

Collingwood bowls the last over and can't contain Du Toit

Arse. Stupid Saffers (conveniently overlooks Benkenstein...)

 

[stumpski]

Was just thinking Surrey need a wicket, and we got one (Cook run out )

 

[oitoitoi]

Swann 51* off 24 balls batting at no.3! Still going too!

 

[oitoitoi]

64 off 32! He got thumped with the ball mind.

 

[oitoitoi]

90* off 47 balls, top effort, attack wasn't great but considering batting is his 2nd discipline pretty epic. If he'd bowled better could have been the allround performance of the competition.

 

[The Masterplan]

Saj once again bowling with immense pace, when will the selectors finally wake up?

Yea because sub-Broad pace scattergun ****e is obviously what England need.
