Article on all the players to get to 100 hundreds.

Would I be right in summising from that, that the Don is the only cricketer who did not feast on the glut of FC cricket that was (and to a lesser extent still is) the County Championship in this country at some point?

Would seem appropriate if so.

A comfortable win for Yorkshire - our 303/4 was well out of reach for Leics who could only muster 302/7!

I see Tom Smith hit a half in that.

Needs to kick on a bit to prevent him from becoming a bit of a trundler.

Thought he might develop into a bit of a Brian McMillan style of bowler when he first started

Looks like Peter Krause from Six Feet Under.

Peter Krause.

Holy shite! That is uncanny!

Never see them in the same place at the same time. That's all I'm saying...

by PeterCS Mon 04 Aug 2008, 00:06

Good spot!

by JKLever Mon 04 Aug 2008, 00:10

Part of Peter Krause's disguise is obviously to flick his hair the opposite way when he dons the whites.

That'll fool em...

Kent will lose the services of yasser arafat next season he has signed with IPL,kolkarta knights.

This Tyrone Henderson character doesn't half give it a biff, eh? Shocked

by Big_Bad_Bob Mon 04 Aug 2008, 17:51

50* off 24 balls.

Noice.

by Big_Bad_Bob Mon 04 Aug 2008, 17:51

And gone.

Never heard of him until the T20 finals.

Probably never hear of him again after this season.

Him and Graham Napier.

Bit of a nipper in the under 19s Test.

England need 27 to win with three wickets remaining.

Daniel Redfern carries the hopes of upwards of three spectators.

by LeFromage Mon 04 Aug 2008, 18:36

Ah, spoke to soon. Game over. Draw.

I've just turned the telly on, and that erm...what's his name?...erm...OWAIS SHAH fella looks pretty good on a nippy pitch. I wonder why he isn't in consideration for England? I suppose he's not actually English or something like that? Anyone enlighten me?

Well he is in the OD team.

96* for Shah, carrying Middlesex to 203/9. Could be a defendable score.

Quality player.

by JKLever Mon 04 Aug 2008, 18:59

Great knock.

Could well be enough, spinning sideways out there...

Yes, but what on earth was he doing with that last ball? All that hard work, all those great shots and as he was walking off the field I was thinking, 'What a kn0b'.

by Gary 111 Mon 04 Aug 2008, 19:44

Shah would have been my choice for the Oval, but I can see the logic in the England selectors choosing Bopara on the grounds of form and youth.

And fark me, its not often that 'England selectors' and 'logic' appear in the same sentence!
