*Official* English Domestic Season Thread (2005)

Looks like a couple of exciting finishes around an about.

Lancs drew with Northants, 188/8 chasing 252, Chilton scoring 113*

Notts 261 chasing 276, Tremlett with 5/80


elsewhere there were bore draws at Sussex, Surrey, Durham and Essex.

What a stunner from Hampshire! I checked the score at one point to see Notts needing 25 to win with 6 wickets remaining, then Warne got Read, and 8 runs later Tremlett picked up Hussey, Ealham, Swann and Smith in the space of 3 runs, and Warne finished it off by getting Sidebottom.

What a season Tremlett is having to date!

Hampshire 12 points clear at the top of div 1 now.

chilton saved us dave, without his innings we could have lost

Yes its superb i am now hoping they will give England a good test next weekend. I think pieterson should bat for both sides but i fear he will play for England

 

[Kweek]

Tremlett for england!

 

[aussie]

Tremlett for england!

not yet.....

yup, but apparently they will still going for the win until Cork got out

He may play for Hampshire though if it meant giving another player practice in his place of the England team.

 

[Langeveldt]

Probably, but it must be a happy first game for him. First 2 Saffie Kolpaks combine to add 119 with one scoring a ton and the other a fifty, then he gets a combined 19 runs with one of the dismissals to a 3rd Saffie Kolpak

I don't really care how we do against South Africa A.. Lets hope Graham doesnt either..

In fact, I'm far more concerned that Somerset maintain a side that can at least play for their country, than one full of South Africans/Zimbos/Aussies who win... And Leicestershire have done sod all this year anyway..

I would rather they win then Notts because I know that in a few weeks time their challenge will be floundering.

I think we can safely say, that Ervine`s stunning catch was the thing that started it all for Hampshire.

Warne is turning out to be a vauable player in many, many areas of the game.

 

[aussie]

yep odd tactics but Lanchashire i must say

 

[shaka]

good hundred by Fleming

 

[superkingdave]

shame he got out and they collapsed and lost

btw Tremlett actually got a Hattrick, though they were 3 average balls, and Crawley took 5 catches and a stumping as stand in wicketkeeper.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

A hat-trick? Really? Funny that it wasn't mentioned in the match reports or anything.

Great season for Tremlett, equal leader with Warne on 35 FC wickets for the season to date, and averaging just 19.

 

[superkingdave]

the first one was a top edged hook to the deep, then the next two were leg side bouncers gloved/edged to the keeper - good takes by Crawley though. The were going mental when warne got the last next over

 

[marc71178]

good hundred by Fleming

Surely a good hundred would've carried his team to victory after agreeing to set up the chase.

 

[shaka]

they fell just short

 

[marc71178]

Yes, and at the end of the day, that is what makes a century good or not.
