The Cricket Thread

All these commentators - Sky and BBC - talking about how impressive Daws has been. Well, duh! We could have told you all that for years!

 

4 for 19, the lad dun good!

 

Just need England to win to complete my acca

 

Next up for the selectors is to realise that Daws is a vastly better cricket than Bashir.

 

With Kent and Middlesex up next, we've got an excellent chance of going 5 from 5 (if rain doesn't intervene),

 

Getting out if the car park at Hampshire. Grrrrrrrr

 

What - you paid a tenner? I park for free 10 minutes walk away!

 

Daws gets MOTM.

 

Bit unfair to say that

 

Why?

 

For the obvious

 

Thank god that Pretorius turns up for the next game - Prest will finally be dropped.

But he shouldn't have even been playing here.

 

Presty needs to be dropped for his own sake, he's clearly struggling right now.

 

It's yet another decision which cannot be defended. It's not like we're so short of options that we've had no choice but to continue picking him.

Fair enough that we gave him the first game vs Essex, just to see if the change in format might free him up. But it was clear even then that he was still struggling - yet another bad drop catch from him - and so should have dropped immediately.

Orr must be livid, to have not played a single game for us in either format this season.

 

Poor PP so far for Hants.

 

My guess is that Kent wouldn't be bowling Denly if Brevis was still batting.

 

Joe needs to bat through here. The batter at the other end can take the risk for next 3 or 4 overs.

 

Another one in the hedge!

 

Repeat that over 4 more times, and we'll hit 200.

Really weird that the Kent commentator suggested earlier than they'd want to keep us down to 135.

 

Much needed innings from Joe, top knock...
