The Cricket Thread

I don't know about being classed as really fast but in his early years Anderson was definitely quicker. Mainly bowled in the high 80s and occasionally topped 90mph.

The image below is a couple of years old but shows it's his record after turning 30 that's truly exceptional.

Thanks Puck! Perhaps he has a bowling style that places less stress on the body than say Wood for example, that has enabled him.to play at Test level up to now

 

I don’t know who / what I am anymore .

If you find out , can you let me know please ?

 

N 235 ao

H 13 - 1 Orr kwacked

 

Maximum batting points for Somerset, 466-8 in 100 overs

 

We really need a dislike button

 

H 22 - 2 Organ 5. This pitch is very bowler friendly.
H 61 - 3 Lunch. Vince just out 36.

H 77 - 5 Batting is nigh on impossible! Prest won't bat apparently, injured.
H 193 - 5 Tea. Dawson 59 no. Barker 50 no.

 

The last two overs have really eaten in our deficit.

 

Som 554 ao
Kent 8-1

 

I do love Barker with the bat

 

H 235 - 6 60 Overs. Barker 74.

H 276 - 9. Innings closed Dawson 95.

 

Bad luck Daws, deserved a ton.
Great start with Special K getting Hameed out second ball.

 

Kent 95-4

 

N 33 - 1 Close

 

Kent 108-5 at stumps, 446 behind

 

Prest expected to be out for about six weeks, which would mean him missing the first block of eight Blast matches.

Presumably Albert will deputise, with our team looking something like: McDermott, Vince, Orr, Weatherley, Albert, Dawson, Fuller, Howell, Neser, Wood, Turner.

 

Kyle is bang on it this morning!

 

N 140 - 5

 

Kent 178 ao, follow on enforced
Crawley and Compton going strong, 102-0

 

I'd back us to chase this if we had Gubbins and Prest. But as it is, I am concerned we won't.
