    I'm not convinced about Buttler as captain. Lacks the ability to make key decisions to change the game. Batting has gone downhill as well so this new coach, whoever he is, needs to earn his corn, and not just carry on with the same old "it's the way we play" rubbish

    i agree with stokes that it's a punishing schedule. i've been saying for a long time that it's set up by worthless accountants and pen pushers who know and care eff all about cricket.

    back in the mid-80s i had a gf who was at a poly in another city. one of the other female students she shared a house with was a daughter of a vicar from a small seaside place on the west coast. this vicar's daughter once "wrote" a poem that she felt summed up margaret thatcher's beliefs, and it went like this:

    money money money
    money money money
    money money money
    sod the unemployed

    Yeah. For me he needs to hand the gloves over. White ball cricket is very ‘dynamic’, with tactics changing almost ball by ball.The number of times we’ve seen a senior pro discussing tactics with the bowler while Joss is 30 yards away, making no attempt to join in.

    today's the second odi against south africa. reduced to 29 overs each due to rain.

    england stumbled to a decent total, losing wickets, but scoring runs.

    south africa appear to be just stumbling. they got to six and then lost four wickets.

    4th wicket run-out video:

    [edited - i'd said it was a t20 and it wasn't]
    [edit 2 - i said it was the 3rd game and it was the 2nd.]

    in the current county championship games, glamorgan are away at leicestershire.

    leicestershire batted first and scored 584 off 148 overs. mulder made 156.

    glamorgan declared on 795 for 5 off 160 overs at lunch on day 4, 211 ahead, leaving leicestershire to survive two sessions.

    for glamorgan, ingram scored 139 and cooke scored 191no.

    and sam northeast scored 410 not out. his previous best was 191.

    northeast added 306 with ingram for the 3rd wicket and an unbeaten 461 (4th highest in england) with cooke for the 6th.

    it's the third highest score in england, behind brian lara's 501no (1994) and archie maclaren's 424 (1895). graeme hick scored 405no in 1988.

    it's the 9th highest ever in the world.

    the 400+ scores:

    501no brian lara 1994
    499 hanif mohammed 1958
    452no don bradman 1930
    443no bb nimbalkar 1948
    437 bill ponsford 1927
    429 bill ponsford 1923
    428 aftab baloch 1974
    424 archie maclaren 1895
    410no sam northeast 2022
    405no graeme hick 1988
    400no brian lara 2004 (the test record)

    leicestershire failed to bat out the last two sessions and were all out for 183 in their second innings, giving glamorgan victory by an innings and 28 runs. leicestershire needed to survive 65 overs but only managed 59.4 overs.

    glamorgan's 795-5d is the 9th highest first class total of all time.

    leicestershire's 584 appears to be the highest first innings total for a team that has lost by an innings. the previous highest appears to be 527 by northamptonshire in 1995.

    teams may have scored higher than 584 and lost but not by an innings.

    the two players still in when glamorgan declared had scored 601 runs.

    Good. Can't stand Leicestershire or their chip on shoulder "we're a small county woe be on us" fans. Bit like Durham.

    And they've got that gobby lancastrian ****e Arron Lilley

    meanwhile, just because i dug out the numbers so you may as well get them too.

    northeast's previous best was 191, which is the score cooke finished on.
    northeast's final total was 410no and glamorgan scored 410 off their last 60 over.

    sam northeast 410no

    200 off 287 (66) 145 for 2nd 100
    250 off 320 (33)
    300 off 361 (41) 74 for 3rd 100
    350 off 409 (48)
    400 off 447 (38) 86 for 4th 100
    410 off 450

    1st 200 took 287 deliveries, final 200 took 160.

    glamorgan scores each 20 overs

    overs score score each 20 overs
    20 73/2 (73 runs)

    Always used to be a big hitter when he first got in the Yorkshire side. Then his spell with England changed his game completely.
