Not too surprising, it is YorkshireScaly piscine said:Interesting game at Edgbaston. Bell scoring 137 off 105 balls with 7, yes 7 sixes. Troughton then scores 34* off 13 balls.

16 bowlers used in the game - a record?marc71178 said:3-26 from Harbhajan Loudon's 9 and promotion is all but secured I believe.
I'm not really following it, but Chapple is a useful bowler who needs to iron out his inconsistency, and Kartik has been a revelation since signing for Lancs - mind you, Old Trafford has been a bit of a bunsen this year. Can definitely see him coming back next year, though.Arjun said:For those following the Leics v/s Lancs match, what's your opinion of Chapple's five here and Karthik's performance so far?
Wasn't it at OT that Kaneria went 64 overs without taking a wicket?Barney Rubble said:I'm not really following it, but Chapple is a useful bowler who needs to iron out his inconsistency, and Kartik has been a revelation since signing for Lancs - mind you, Old Trafford has been a bit of a bunsen this year.

Thats one of the worst FC attacks I have seen! God, maybe I will play for them one day!Barney Rubble said:Somerset's 7-man bowling attack is one of the worst I've seen today:
Andrew, M Parsons, Woodman, K Parsons, Blackwell, Durston, Suppiah.
Ouch.
Chapple was once in the running for an England team spot, after which I have been reading about his performances. Initially a few thought his selection was a joke, but he's done rather well with ball and bat (especially in 20-20) for Lancs. Karthik seems more at home playing for Lancs than for India- maybe they can give him a full-time contract next season.Barney Rubble said:I'm not really following it, but Chapple is a useful bowler who needs to iron out his inconsistency, and Kartik has been a revelation since signing for Lancs - mind you, Old Trafford has been a bit of a bunsen this year.

By the way, I heard Nehra had gone to England after he left Zimbabwe. Is he in action in the FC scene?

I'd think he needs to sort out the fact that he's always crocked, first.Barney Rubble said:I'm not really following it, but Chapple is a useful bowler who needs to iron out his inconsistency
Yeah, that might help.steds said:I'd think he needs to sort out the fact that he's always crocked, first.
Oh, they were terrible. And they didn't bat well either. It was set up for Hildreth and Durston to get runs, flat pitch, young pacemen Wayne White and Nick Walker spraying it everywhere, and then Hildreth goes for the big shot, gets it aerial, and Jon Moss takes a fantastic catch at midwicket. I have to say Derbyshire did actually bowl quite well, I was very surprised to see how competent they are. An old guy sitting near me said to anothe r "It's asking too much from those young boys to bowl on this pitch with that total" (inflect with comedy Zoider accent) and he was proved quite right. Bassano, who was opening in place of the dreadful walking wicket known as Ben France, and Steve Stubbings, who sometimes apears to a heavily set version of Geoff Boycott on valium, set off at a good rate. Blackwell tried Andrew, Woodman and both Parsons, but the introduction of Wes Durston broke the partnership when Bassano, going for a four to bring up his fifty, flicked one off his legs to backward square where Suppiah (I think) pulled off a great catch. Durston's next ball deceived as good a player of spin as Hasan Adnan, who just managed to stay in his ground, but after that there were no troubles seeing it through to the close, Adnan even hitting Blackwell for six. Derbyshire are big favourites.Langeveldt said:Thats one of the worst FC attacks I have seen! God, maybe I will play for them one day!
