You can see his class when he bowls. Always keeps it tight and finally got the wickets he deserved in the last game. Might have to become a Debyshire CCC gloryhunter then, now all you diehards have done the hard yards ?

jimbo jones Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Never realised Graham Thorpe was Afghanistan coach. Hopefully, he's alright, one of the heroes of my childhood. Hans Datdo-Dishes, Comrade 86, Eddie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine too - well, my second childhood. His masterful 64* in the dark at Karachi in 2000 was brilliant to behold. He'd had bigger scores, but that innings was especially valuable. England wins on the subcontinent are rare enough, but when you are ranked as lowly as we were then (as now), they are moments to savour.

jimbo jones Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Squad for tomorrow. No McKiernan, so I assume Reece comes back into the team. in other injury news, George Scrimshaw is back playing for the seconds, which is good news with the T20 not far away. He impressed with the white ball last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed: Reece comes into the team as the only change. we’ve won the toss and elected to bowl. Perhaps yesterdays rain and plenty of cloud around will give the bowlers more to work with. It’s been hard for anyone across the country to take 20 wickets so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, is it my imagination or are there an unusually high number of big scores been set this season? Placid strips, weather or both, or should county cricket be played over 5 days like tests?

The complaint in previous years was the pitches were too difficult to bat on in April. so I believe the ECB told clubs to make them more batter friendly this season...I’ve certainly heard that mentioned a number of times. With the dry weather we have had on top, its gone completely the other way. ECB working their magic as per usual. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 close - 326-5 Probably a bit of a gamble to bowl first, thinking the best time to bowl would be in the morning session on day one. 2 wickets was ok, but needed 3 or 4 to make it worthwhile. The wickets at the end brought it back to a respectable effort. Looks another good pitch for batting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
