I think It's just the same in every city in this country...

That's rich coming from a Geordie

To be fair, I agree with Mr Piscine.

Yobbos.

Lancashire cruising home

Hoggy came back, his second spell was better 4-0-65-2

that proves why he not such a good ODI bowler, but anyway good start for Lancashire in Tewnty20, nice to see Hodge in the runs again

Somerset flying against Worcestershire - 150-3 after 13.3 overs, Wood 94 from 35 balls.

Surrey 132/3 14.1overs against Middlesex at Lords, presumably a large crowd

Yea I think someone on the radio yesterday said that was sold out, the same fixture was sold out last year so I imagine they've got it right.

Somerset slowed down considerably as well. Great innings from Woody, never thought he had it in him. A more talented player than he's given credit for, though.

Jamie Hildreth just bowled an over at Graeme Hick and Ben Smith, only got hit for 2 - when did he become a bowler?

 

[Scaly piscine]

I know it's Twenty20, but another classic Key dismissal.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Interesting how Kemp has pretty much been a liability for Kent in the Twenty20.

<quack> Time to resurrect 'Clarkewatch'

 

[Arjun]

Dinesh Mongia seems to be having a great time playing for Leicester....hopefully he can stay there a little longer until the ODI series in SL ends.

Midd'x fans on another forum say that Irfan has a problem while fielding, which is a bit surprising, given how good his fielding was when he first made the team. He's good at diving and sliding, but his throwing technique is quite erratic according to reports and fan comments. Your comments on that?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Nice to see McGrath's career Twenty20 economy rate has increased to 12.61

 

[Scaly piscine]

Damn it Yorkshi*e so nearly lost after their imports scored the bulk of their runs again.

 

[Swervy]

Maddy c) Mustard b) Onions

Maddy c) Mustard b) Onions

Best dismissal since Lillee c Willey b Dilley.

What next? Strauss c Mozart b Beethoven?

Edit: Just saw this on Cricinfo's official scorecard for one of the Twenty20 games today - Peters c ? b Greenidge. What? Did NO-ONE see who caught it? Has the catcher been lost forever?

That reminds me of a Kent game v Hampshire - Hampshire batsman was caught in the slips but the PA guy obviously wasn't looking at the time so over the PA he said "hands up who caught that please" - Obviously the whole team proceed to put their hands up

It hasn't gone unnoticed! - Guy comes over with a big hitting rep and he has done bugger all in any of the games his played, Canterbury is one of the best batting strips in the country as well so it's not like his playing on a doggy track every time.

Oh well just a Kent thing I guess, we always sign top overseas players (Bevan, Blewett, Waugh) but they always seem to do poorly.

Jarre! is obviously exculded from that list, the guy is even taking wickets now to go on top of his millions of runs!!!!!

That's great, there should be more entertaining PA guys around these days - at Taunton last year in a Twenty20 game against Worcs, Worcs needed 50 to win going into the last over, and the guy announced:

"We're coming into the last over now, ladies and gentlemen, and Worcestershire need 50 runs to win.....................................off six balls."

He said the last bit really slowly, and stressed the "six", it got a big laugh from the crowd.

He also announced Northants' David Sales (DJG Sales on the scorecard) as "DJ Sallez" when Northants were coming out to field, obviously at someone's request - all the Northants players then starting doing DJ actions, pretending to spin a turntable and so on! Sales found it hilarious!

shows what a mockery it makes of the finest players in the world. And champions run of the mill players like Maddy

My worst Twenty20 moment was when the announcer shouted "And coming in to bat is Lohan Joe" (Johaan Louw).. Figured out i'd get more insight out of Aggers on ICC so stayed at home tonight..

I know Anthony Mcgrath has a test batting average of over 40 and bowling average of 14, but isn't it stretching it a bit to call him 'one of the finest players in the world'?
