English Domestic Season 2022

Anyway, if Squnthorpe has a team, Norfolk should be their rivals. The Norfolk Enchants would work…

tyrells vs hula hoops last nite and tyrells won.

On the BBC version if they cut out all the  annoying pitch interviews, got rid of the hangers
on like the boy band rejects who fool about in the crowd, and told the commentators to
stop trying to be comedians, it might be reasonably bearable to watch. That is go back to
being a cricket match not a circus of fools.

Well, they never had much luck in Game of Thrones, so were due a change in fortunes…

The mighty Squib keep up their perfect record, with a seventh straight defeat. Their women’s team did get a first win, so they’re collectively 1-11!

Today Mccoys beat butterkist in the latest shambles. The cricket is so unimportant that they interrupt play to interview a DJ, while boundaries score and a wkt fell as well. Mccoys look as if theyre at a funeral not a cricket match and the boundaries seem to be getting shorter - perhaps becos not enough 6s are being scored.

16.4 Crisp Cup Final today then. Trent Rockets/Skips Peashooters could add to Nottingham’s sporting success for this year.

The mighty Squib finished with 8 defeats out of 8. Their women at least managed one win out of 6…

Peashooters take the honours in a low-scoring but close final… have to admit I was pretty much celebrating it as a Notts win by the end. A reasonable amount of personnel overlap anyway!

Durham face a possible 16-point penalty due to Nic Maddinson using an oversize bat.

That is beyond ridiculous. Would it happen if it was a Slurrey player?

Wasn’t there one in the 18th century who used a bat wider than the stumps?

Which manufacturers would even make an oversize bat?

Reminds me of the time when Imran caused quite a stir in Sydney because of the size of his bat.

To match his oversized ears.

Australian Sandpaper Corporation

One-Day Cup final today (impoverished descendant of the old NatWest/Gillette). Darren Stevens’ farewell appearance for Kent, if not necessarily the end of his top-level career if he has any say in the matter…

And old Dazza goes out injured but with a trophy. He’s played professional cricket under 7 prime ministers and, well, 2 monarchs

When does the English season end?

Looks like two more rounds of Championship fixtures, finishing on 29th September. All the pyjama stuff’s done with…

Cheers, b.

The Brown Craps take their 20th title (a total only surpassed by Formerly Racist Yorkshire) with a game to spare.

Notts halfway to doing a promotion Devon Loch/Jean van de Velde with an innings defeat. Middlesucks and the Glamma boys hot on their heels now.

Notts take no chances in racking up 600 and then skittling Durham for maximum bonus points. Justice is done…

And Warwickshire beat Hampshire in a thriller to send Yorkshire down. Maybe fitting, given this year’s revelations. The Puddings won only one four-day game all season, which was their opening match, so can’t have too many complaints…

Looks like 2 players averaged over 100 in the CC. Not sure about the overall first class season.

Yeah, 107 for Brook (div 1) and 104 for Pujara (div 2). Pretty sure Brook drops below that mark when you add in his solitary Test appearance, whereas Pujara also played one Test in England this summer and I think scored enough to stay above the Bradman line. Don’t think there’s anything under the FC banner other than CC and Tests now, with the University Centres of Cricketing Crapness possibly now sidelined?
