English county season 2008 (II)

124* for Tresco.


It's so unbelievably frustrating to have a world class opener just f*cking about in county cricket.

Talking of forgotten heroes / in a world that doesn't care, GOJo is on 11* and might snatch this one.

Another failure for Ramps. Seems the media interest and extra pressure of his 100th 100 has warped his fragile little mind.

Good thing they didn't throw him back into Test cricket...

Rashid finally gets a wicket - and its Ramps.


Golden armed Bopara took a 3-for today. Good for my fantasy team.

Yeah, he doesn't score a century for 2 whole games and he's suddenly cracked under pressure.

Butcher,Ramps & Hussain batting 2,3,4 for Slurrey.... cor blimey its 1999 all over again

Not stopping the mighty Eagles from being given a bit of a Kolpaking though...

Where's Dubya in that lineup?

Throw in Usman Afzaal and Jimmy Ormond and you're on target for one of the worst England line-ups ever.

Is Piss Schofield playing?

He might be injured - dandruff probably.

That's what gets me.... there's physical evidence that he isn't and some jealous type ignores it completely.

I have witnessed the physical evidence with my own eyes.

David Sales makes Rob Key look like Paula Radcliffe . . . fact.

Anyone who denies it is either lacking in the evidence of their own eyes or denying the evidence of their own eyes.

What exactly are we supposed to be jealous of BTW?

I've not exactly been subtle about this so far, but as they're not getting it I don't quite know how I can put this in any other way given the self denial of some of his supporters . . . Sales is a disgrace to his profession with the size he allows himself to take to the field.

It's that simple.

Sorry chaps, don't want to offend you like, but it's a simple fact.

I'd be ashamed to take to the field as an amateur cricketer with his blubber, never mind a professional with supporters banging the drum for me for international recognition.

Lose the fat, or lose your international aspirations Sales . . . forever.

Do you want it or not? If you do, prove it . . . lose 2 stone. I did it once - and my cricket improved immeasurably.

Those fat deposits let him get through his long innings. Is it any wonder that England's stick thin cricketers fail to produce long innings?

I was wondering that misen. One minute I'm pottering through life happy with mi lot and the next I'm accused of being jealous of some five chinned fat c**t that plays for Northants. How does that work?

What 'aspirations'? The only 'aspirations' Sales had of playing for England were in finkys mixed up drug addled head.

I've seen him in the flesh of recent. He's looking pretty svelte. If you girls are going to cry about it, it's your lookout.

PMSL at Bob's posts.

Jaysus - just saw that Nico scored a 133 against Yorkshire.

What, the ex-Dubber Nicho??? FFS.

That's the one, looks like the Oval was a bit of a road.

Ho Lee Sheet in a basket. What was the innings total???

87 for Bops to continue his good form.

They declared on 466/8 we got 525 in reply.

At the mo Slurrey are 195/5.

88* to James Foster as the last pair deny Kolpak CC a win...

Maybe i'm reading into to it too much, but Ramps played 2 pretty crabby innings against Yorkshire on a road at the Oval when he's on the verge of the huge milestone of 100 first class hundreds. Signs that the old susceptibility to pressure remains?
