County Season 2012 (II)

7 fer

Does that mean the not good enough Swann's going to be replaced by him?

All over. Australia A beaten by Durham. Ian Blackwell 7/52.

Aus A all out for 204, losing by only 19 runs. That is a top effort against this outstanding county team. The future looks very bright for Australian cricket.

Is there anyone in Australia under the age of 30 who knows how to hold a bat?

You can have Trev if you want. He must be eligible by now.

In other news, Derbyshire doing their best to lose to Kent and throw away promotion. We've got a really tough run in if memory serves so this isn't promising.

POW! I BEG YOUR PARDON, Sirs!

I love you Palladino. xxx

Thanks for talking up my batting skills.

Despite excellent List A and T20 form, Phil Hughes is only averaging 30 in the CC.

Oh look, we've ****** tucked it.

2 wickets left - 40 odd needed...

14 required

10.

LUNCH????!

With 9 runs required. FFS.

a break at this stage probably favours the batsmen

How? Bowlers and fielders get a break and make a plan. The number 10 has to concentrate and get his 'eye in' again. Our 11 is a bunny so 1 wicket and it's over.

Having said that, just checked Turners average - 16 - not too bad.

YARSH!!!!!!!

26 points clear of Yorkshire with a game in hand.

Rankin to play for England.
Heard Ray Jennings son will play for Durham,doesn't stop them counties from buying saffies/aussies.

Unless his coach, Piles, greases the wheels for him, I don't see how Rankin has a chance of playing for England. There must be around ten seamers ahead of him in the pecking order, at least.

not sure how close Giles really gets to the wheels ... just the rims?

Woakes is practically a batsman who bowls a bit these days.

Brilliant running by Goodwin.

WTF is going on in Birmingham? A pitch so bad only Phil Hughes and Slogdonki can score runs?

Zelman out for 99.

Rashid, back in the team and back in the wickets. Five-for for the championship side last time out, 4-38 tonight.

Kick up the arse been a wake up call?

Aussie A lose 7-80 to the spin twins Kerrigan and Tredwell as England Lions take charge of the first "Test".

70 for Root and 73* for Johnny B (presumably Australia bowled no short balls at him) to take the lead to around 200 with seven wickets in hand.
