Worcester are crap

Quoted for posterity.

By having Keedy and Giles - we're duplicating the style - I'd prefer some variety to be honest.

 

[superkingdave]

Yes to Variety, if there is someone near the same level, sadly i don't think there is.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Maybe Rikki Clarke could take up leg breaks.

 

[superkingdave]

better still, someone could break rikki clarke's legs. j/k

Congratulations shane warne on his first test 100 with 3 sixes and off only 70 odd balls. Got hampshire out of quite a mess aswell

Wow, what a knock by Warne. He's been in pretty good touch with the bat for Hampshire to date this season, but I never would have expected a century. Prior to this game he had just passed 5,000 first class runs without a century too, anybody know if this is (or now, was) a record? I know his 2,500 odd in tests without a hundred is a record.

 

[kendall]

when he first came to play for hampshire he said ones of his aims was too get a hundred and he has finaly achieved it yet again the tale has saved a hampshire inings

Lancashire batting poo, were 106-8 but Jimmy Anderson and Gary Keedy put on 73 for the 9th wicket. Durham started well, but Flintoff has bowled for the first time and got the first wicket! guess he thinks he needs to make up for his batting

 

[superkingdave]

Another good ton for Shafayat

 

[Pratters]

Another good ton for Shafayat

COOL

 

[Tom Halsey]

Shafayat playing well is all well and good, except when it's against Essex.

Hampshire play Tests now?

Freddie bowling!!!

Well ahead of schedule.

Personally I say stick him in for the Bangladesh series as well, and bite the bullet to pick Bell ahead of "90 @ 18" Kevin.

Irritating end-of-play wicket as well, still a good start overall towards 4 county championship wins out of 4 for Durham.

 

[superkingdave]

for me the first session is crucial tommorow, cos i'd back Lancs to defend anything more than 180 in the last innings at OT with Murali and Keeds

Well, this Durham side bat down to 9 where Plunkett averages in the high 20s (last year it was most of our top 6 that averaged in the high 20s).

KP 1!!, are you actually trying to annoy me. This guy wants and thinks he should be in the england test side, the guy has only hit a handful of boundaries this season

Go on Blackwell, like i said before he is someone i like, i dont know why. good season so far, england ODI contention for me, he offers a lot

Harmy in the thick of it again, things are looking up for him, about time my friend
