Right in the batsman's eyeline. Thought that was unique to Derbyshire.

Yorkshire capitulated to Middlesex in a spectacular way. Nice 62 from beetle on debut.

Wheels have certainly come off for the White Rose.

It's the tightest Div 1 for years.

makes for stronger English cricket.

How shoite are Hampshire - Gareth Batty's taken them for a ton

So who's this bloke Donald from Glamorgan who's smashed the fastest first class double hundred of all time?

He was captain of the U19's last year

That mum who just took out a restraining order against you, for fear you'd big her son up ... her son.

That one.

Doesn't matter anymore after this post. A career of mediocrity approaches and his current FC average of 42 will fall over the next fifteen years and finish at around 30 odd.

Useful record 8th wicket stand with Foakes.

Sounds like every Glamorgan batsman since Maynard, so it wouldn't be a shock.

Sadly it was against a side that would struggle to give Stoke Poges Over 80s Third Xl a decent game

Durham's Stoneman to Surrey next year. I swear that the player merry-go-round starts earlier and earlier.

Durham born and bred, and they're right in the mix for the Championship this season. Has he had a falling out with them? Or are Durham's financial difficulties starting to catch up with them?

Durham has been a hot-bed of English cricketing talent for the last decade, so it would be a real shame if their financial problems bring a halt to the conveyor belt of talent.

Aye, and I think that's why they're falling in behind the latest T20 franchise wheeze that Grocer Graves is promoting.

Recordo Gordon, apart from having one of the best names, seems to have an action that looks a bit questionable on first sight, a bit like Eranga's.

Gordon'a action has always looked a bit dodgy to me. His effort ball (ok, 80mph then!) took a couple of batsmen by surprise, I wouldn't be surprised if he pinged them.

Bowlers don't get called these days. First of all, it seems to be a quiet word in someone's ear from the umpires. That's what appears to have happened with Charlie Morris when it was suggested last season, I understand, that he pinged his quicker ball. He's spent most of this season remodelling his action.

Seems a sound way of going about things. Just got to find a way to ensure that the chucking doesn't occur in the interim.

Div 1 is insane this season; only 20 points separate the top six. It's a very brave person who can nominate the winner from this distance.
