*Official* English Domestic Season Thread (2005)

It's pretty depressing watching Anderson bowling at the moment - down on pace (slower than Corky), no movement, spraying it, getting carted around by Richard Dawson.

yep thats true, he only has i 5 for this season he really hasn't done much for the selectors to even look in his direction, i for one hope he can get somewhere back to the form that he had in Aus & the WC 2 years ago.

 

[aussie]

BTW any one else going to OT trafford tomoro for the roses clash???, looking foward to see Symo, Chilton, Norht etc bat & it will 5 out 7 days for me at OT wowwwww

 

[jordyh]

I'm going aussie. Well it's today now. Just heading off in a sec

 

[Barney Rubble]

Zummerzet getting royally walloped at New Road by Worcs - Worcs 496-3 at end of day 2, Somerset 310. 18 year old left-arm seamer Richard Woodman took 1-53 from 11 overs on FC debut - ouch. Zander de Bruyn made 167 at no3, too.

Just got back from Old Trafford decent inning by Chilton

 

[Barney Rubble]

I'd rate an innings of 130* (so far) off 248 balls against an attack of Silverwood, Kruis, Dawson and Bresnan as quite a good one, actually, as opposed to just a decent one.

 

[sledger]

will be heading off to the rose bowl to see hampshire play yorks on sat, hopefully hants will beat them, despite the absence of pietersen they do have tremlett back which is a huge boost, with ian harvey a doubt for yorks i would back hampshire to beat them.

 

[superkingdave]

lol at Middlesex, 20 wickets in a day. Second innings they went from 41-0 to 48-7 with 6 consecutive ducks

Good day for Lancs, another ton for Chil, push on for 550 tommorrow and then skittle em, they won;t have Hoggard to save them this time

A tip for anyone going to Old Trafford tomorrow that I wish someone had told me. Wear suncream. Ouch.

Yes i fully expect hampshire too win on saturday with Pothas in Ervine in good touch with the bat and a very strong county bowling line up i would expect (hope) they are too strong for yorkshire

 

[superkingdave]

i don't know Kendall, as much as i'd love to see you smash the Yorkies, i think they might turn you over.

And a Roses final would be something, but there's the not so small matter of Warwickshire for us first, would prefer to be chasing

Haha yeah, I just got back from Canterbury didn't relize it was quite as hot as it was... but I didn't burn just went a nice shade of brown

I must say though, that Kent must be the first team who has ever won fielding quite so many non-batsman!

But it evened up the contest quite nicely to make a enjoyable game.

Well if wawriskhire play like they have been of late you should be fine.

18 year old left-arm seamer Richard Woodman took 1-53 from 11 overs on FC debut

Robert actually.. I took 16 off an over against him once...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Tell cricinfo they've stuffed up, then, because they call him Richard.

Edit: Woodman also made 48 not out

interesting... its weird having people you know on cricinfo.. makes me feel really quite rubbish..

 

[Barney Rubble]

makes me feel really quite rubbish..

Think how I feel! Knowing you've taken 16 off an over from a first-class player, and yet I can barely see the ball (let alone hit it) when I face a guy who's just broken the county youth squads, and who's bowling at three-quarter pace off a short run.......

Oh, and my bowling economy rate this season is 11.66.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Robert actually.. I took 16 off an over against him once...

And I got you out!

First class career beckons for me. Maybe...

yea it was pretty hot today wasn't it, but franky OT has jsut been the place to be over the last week just superb cricket, Lancashire batting this afternoon was superb especially Chilton though i must congradulate White on his classy Hundred. Looking foward to seeing Symo on fire tomoro for sure.

Only disappointment for me & fellow other club members is that all this cricket in the last week or so is relegating us to net practice

Someone I know has just got a job at Cricinfo - does that count?
