County Season 2012 (II)

I have indeed, sadly.

Kerrigan only shines for Lions.

Which means another step towards the trapdoor for Lancs ....!

Better forecast for tomorrow Pete, but shoite for Friday. Plenty of Lancs supporters here - cricket by day and beer festival by night

Sounds better than the cricket! :o)

Meanwhile here's a Picture Quiz (just one question).

Guess the cricket ground:

Ground flooded....must be Worcester. Is a lot of theur problems due to very poor drainage? Or is it all just rotten bad luck?

Baz can answer that one better than me!

England Lions struggling on 55-4. Joe Root out to (an economical) Midge for 24.

The wayward lad was bound to get a dud root eventually.

Has Joe already been nicknamed 'Dud' by his team mates, or might it be an FB invention?

The name Root cries out for all sorts of nicks!

Bunny was at Lord's until half 10, sped up the motorway and wrecked Notts with 8-67 and a run out.

Actually NINE-67 and a runout! :-O

England Lions' day pretty much imitating South Africa's.

Kieswetter in this case hauling them back from a very rough start (not sure it was ump-assisted though)

Drainage is excellent at NR - it was completely replaced in the wake of the 2007 floods. The ground has flooded twice this season and twice it has been playable within two weeks. That picture just shows surface water, not surprisingly surely given the excerable weather we've had!

Pears 251/7
Lancs 10/0

Neither side can afford to lose this one - the draw is a racing certainty.

WGAF about Northants? I'm not even dissing the team, such F*CKING WANK weather has cost us a loss and two draws so far and now we've got another valiant effort against Pantshire that'll fall short. Must admit, there has been some brave shit going on from my boys over the last month and the rest of the division can suck my cock and suck it quick. F*ck you Div Two..

At least you won't relegated.

Just saw this. He's done a Hadlee!

Onions 67/9. Scores like that do nothing for the credibility oif county Cricket.

CC hasn't any credibilty whatsoever - shitheaps like Ed Cowan, Marcus North, Usman Khawaja, Phil Hughes, Simon Katich, Adam Voges and Michael Klinger are getting gigs. Cheaping the entire competition.

Particularly when they are doing better than English players.

Figures per games played?

Per games played? Does that really matter? Average runs per trips to the wicket is the thing to look at, in most circles.

Of course it does. Perhaps you would like to publish Cowans results for Gloucestershire this season.
