Couldn't have given him one more over?

He declared at Tea TBF. He told Davies this.... and he scored 15 of his last 7 balls.

Old man Croft up to his old tricks. 8.1 - 4 - 6 - 5

You wonder sometimes: Davies has been bereft of form until the last two weeks or so - he had a chance to make a ton, so Solanki shats on him from a great height! FFS!

I was no great fan of Vik's captaincy in the first place, but this takes the farking biscuit!

He knew the story. It's his own fault. Solanki can't just throw away 3 overs of the game so Davies can get a personal milestone.

If Davo had been blocking the crap out of it - fair enough, but he was doing his darndest before tea.

And he didn't get there. Unlucky, but fair enough.

And the team comes first. I'm sure Davies was disappointed but he knew it was best thing for the team.

78 all out.

FFS, the shame....

Why is Steve Snell opening the batting for Gloucestershire all of a sudden? Talk about a meteoric rise, with a probable fall. What a stupid decision considering how well he has been doing.

I see Marcus North is well set for another 98 (70*). That would be the most amazing run ever if he did it again. Aussie skunt.

Glos only need another 261 to avoid an innings defeat!

Well he was the only candidate really. And he kept getting stranded at the end of the innings. He needed a chance to build an innings.

Plenty of rain about!

Ramps 100 100s watch:


Currently 60*.

Yes, and the naive chaps on commentary are suggesting the late arrivals are paying in to see 'Ramps' get his hundreth 100. No chance, they're hoping to laugh at him when he's out on 99.

Now 70*.


any chance of rain for the rest of the day in Leeds?

The question is now that the qunts we were due to play today called it off* do I take a punt on Notts pulling off a miracle at Trent Bridge or that England pull off a miracle against the Jaaaarpies?

* - Though we still travelled, it was dry as a bone and the pitch was covered, and even one of their own players turned up as well. Vankers. 45 mile round trip n'all.

Very doubtful. Lots of cloud around but they're very high and either white or a very pale grey.

Now 76*.

Wait a minute - Cricinfo now showing Ramps back to 71*.

Calm down, you're getting ahead of yourself, he's 72 no!

Ramps 85* at tea.

Any chance for a late night special visit from Leo do you think?

88* in fact.

I think with all the waiting, Leo's special Ramps Torch will have gone out by now ...

Only just noticed that The Lever Eagles got annihilated by Smerky's crowd.

Hardly promotion form.

Well done Mark Ramprakash.

The 25th man ever to 100 x 100.



What an effing waste to nerves at Test level though!!!
