It just shows you that a good batting line-up can be the way to win championships.

Or not as the case may be.

They will have 3 wins from 12 games after their current game peters out to a draw.

Fixed.

They have only lost 1 game too. And they should have won that one.

by Big_Bad_Bob Fri 22 Aug 2008, 13:01

They would have lost their game against Notts with another hour's play.

In the pic?

Just been bowled off an inside edge on to my thigh pad trying to work a ball that was too full and straight away off my hip to bring up 50.

Quite!

Lancs 19-3 in their second innings as well. Joseph is bumming them.

Anyone know anything about Josh Cobb at Leicestershire? Currently 119 not out. Yes, Middlescum's attack is pretty wank but according to his cricinfo profile, he's only 18 and this is only his 5th first class match.

by Lara Lara Laughs Fri 22 Aug 2008, 18:28

And he's English! At Leicestershire! Crazy!

Middlesucks attack isn't that bad.

James Foster ton today.... get him in there

Wonder if Cobb is the son of former middling-average Leics batsman Russell?

Quick look on cricinfo confirms it.

Infact Russell was so middling his average was just 24 and he didn't score a ton in 122 FC matches!!

They're getting them all out from their hiding places it seems; Greg Smith and James Taylor getting a game too!

Essex 322/8

Lead Worcs. by 346

Foster 111, not bad for a keeper who can't bat. Just wish it had been off some other feckers!

by PearlJ Fri 22 Aug 2008, 21:08

Gee, Monty bowled some filth today.

Wot? no hand through thinning hair?! Only the expression "We wuz outrageously robbed" is not enough, you know.

by Gary 111 Sat 23 Aug 2008, 10:36

Timely century by Foster with the touring party to India set to be announced soon. (Don't know exactly when)

I see that man Sales has hit another big ton too...

by PeterCS Sat 23 Aug 2008, 10:45

Is ton a pun?

Should be a walk in the park Bas, we can only replace medium pace with more medium pace...
