Bangladesh A giving Gloucs a pasting right now. 6 for 67.

Watson at the crease early in his FC debut for Hampshire. They're 3/29.

To be fair, Gloucestershire are lacking Craig Spearman, Chris Taylor, Matt Windows and Steve Kirby, but it's still a poor effort. Not only that, but Enamul hasn't been called upon to bowl, and Shahadat Hossain has three wickets!

Where is Spearman, he's not back in NZ is he?

Hasn't he pretty much severed all ties with NZ? He played for Glos a week ago, as the duck can attest to, and also scored a century at Southgate against Middlesex on Sunday. Think he's just rested.

The Hampshire top order fails yet again currently 43-3. The rain has intervened for now, CrawleyWatson and Pohas have a lot of work to do now and once again they will probably be relying on the bottom order too scrap together some sort of score.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Watson is having a dream start at Hants. Amazing that, in his first stint in English FC cricket he played only one game and scored a century, and since coming back he's hit 130 odd and 40 odd in OD games, and now he's 42 not out with wickets tumbling around him in a FC game. Hopefully he can make another good score.

Gloucs recover to 232 (Snell 82*, Lewis 49, Averis 33) - Bdesh now 45/3

Particularly amused by "Kadder" Ali recording a first baller, bowled by Shahadat "12-0-101-0" Hossain...

 

[Neil Pickup]

And he gives James Kirtley a return catch having added all of one more run... oops.

As for Spearman? I'd suggest he'd be in bed, knowing how thoroughly counties treat matches against touring 'A' sides...

 

[superkingdave]

What about Ali Cook?

doesn't play OD cricket very often at all

 

[Neil Pickup]

The Shoaib takes 14-3-47-6 (five bowled) for Worcester at Northampton - including 10 no balls - but Monty Panesar and Jason Brown of all people have added 61* for the last wicket - Northants edging towards 300.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Shahadat "12-0-101-0" Hossain...

That's the only nickname worse than Graeme "9-0-89-3" Cremer - other than Mike "8-0-89-0" Kasprowicz, of course.....

 

[superkingdave]

Loving the unbeaten 116 run partnership between Otis Gibson (87*) and Claude Henderson(42*) for Kolpac CC vs Yorkshi*e.

It's still a pretty strong Gloucester side, although Kadeer is getting a run out again I see.

Durham back to something like their early season form with their drubbing of Derbyshire, Hussey caught one boundary short of a century.

 

[Langeveldt]

If you've a spare ticket and don't fancy it, send it this way...

£30 by the way mate After being broke all year, I've suddenly started earning quite a bit so I just said yes... Might have second thoughts and take you up on your offer..

 

[shaka]

Ottis Gibson on 87*, without trying to jinx it, can he get his 2nd ever first class century?

 

[Neil Pickup]

£30 by the way mate After being broke all year, I've suddenly started earning quite a bit so I just said yes... Might have second thoughts and take you up on your offer..

As I'm earning too, that's not an offer I'm refusing. Deal.

 

[aussie]

the flower brothers have put Lanchashire to the sword at old trafford, Essex look like the team to beat in Division 2...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Davies back for Durham and with typical figures for him this season... 5-4-4-2

 

[shaka]

Congrats to both Flowers on getting centuries.
