English county season 2008 (IV)

Just a heads up for everybody -

The county championship starts again on Sunday and Sky are broadcasting Lancashire vs Sussex live. All four days I think. Fred is bowling and batting so we'll be able to see just how good his bowling is and just how bad his batting is.

Cheers.

If Fred shows no lingering effects of the side/ankle then he'll be pencilled in for the first test squad imo, regardless of how well or poorly he bats.*


* But some runs would be mighty handy.

Shaun Tait is heading to New Road according to the local rag as Steve Magoffin's replacement now that Fidel Edwards is unfit.

Do I laugh or cry? - that is the question.

Seems like ourselves and Hampshire are the only ones who don't get the privilege of the England boys today. A bit shit if you ask me, but what can you do? Would it have done them any harm to actually turn up for their counties and get in some form, all things considered? It's not as if Lord's is a million miles away either.

Essex 44/3 vs the mighty Derbyshire. Ali Cook 33*.


F*cking hell. Lungley isn't playing AGAIN!

Vaughany our for an 18 ball duck.


Totally worth it for Geoffrey's reaction though. Good times.

Leicestershire 45 for 4, wickets for Magoffin, Kabir Ali and Jonah

Still recovering from the thrashing we gave you, Basil?

Another wicket for SiJo as we speak. So far this season:

69 overs, 21 wickets, avg 12.

He can't be kept out of the England side for much longer at this rate. 2nd or 3rd Saffie Test for me. Got to be done.

It's hard to play when you are injured.

Not sure which is rarer, Haley's comet, or a thumping from Derbyshire!

Anyway: Foxes 72 for 6: Jonah 2 for 21 off 6

I wasn't suggesting he's been dropped, you tit-flop. I'm annoyed at his injuries.

Essex 113-3 at Lunch... Cook 68*

Vaughan 0, Strauss 2, Shah 1, Bopara 7

Then say something like, 'I can't believe that pile of shit Lungley is injured again, who does he think he is? Simon Jones!?!'

Or, you could GFY. Yes, that sounds like the best option.

Anyone watching the Sky game?

Sussex 100-5 on an absolute belter of a slowish pitch.

Fred 7 overs 0-9 - bowling around 5mph down on the usual pace, but accurate.

Ramps well on his way to his 100th ton.

F*ck off JGK.



Hey, Jay to the the kay to the ell - have you got a link for the Lancs game?

You can just sense him working up to an injury.

Kolpakshire in all sorts of trouble.... 78-8... Jones 4-22.

Leicestershire: stuffed to the rafters with non English qualified players.

okay!!! If I'm not wrong, Ganguly played for this county in 2006.
