- Who’s Up and Who’s Down in this week’s Country Championship?
↑ Matthew Prior has taken his chance at Lords with 126*. He also kept wicket very well on a notoriously hard ground to keep wicket on. ↑ Essex, chasing down 278 with 4 and a half overs to go, and 9 wickets in hand, thanks to a superb opening pairing of Mark Pettini (103* from 103 balls) and [...]
Tue, 22 May 2007 12:30:41 +0000 - Jacques Rudolph can’t play for South Africa for 3 years?
The Kolpak ruling has been responsible for allowing the South African batsmen (who got 222* on his test match debut) was dropped by South Africa for the World Cup and was then approached by Geoffrey Boycott to play for Yorkshire. However, he has signed for 3 years as a non-overseas player which means that he [...]
Tue, 22 May 2007 11:51:22 +0000 - Darren Gough; A.K.A. The Man!
The now captain of his former county Yorkshire is possibly the best captain in the world. His laid back approach is having a huge impact on his team mates as the results speak for themselves. His international days are well and truly over as his exclusion from the World Cup highlighted, but his county days as [...]
Sun, 20 May 2007 23:58:23 +0000 - Matthew Nicholson rips through Sussex.
Matthew Nicholson Steams forces Sussex to follow on. The 32 year old seam bowler got 5 wickets in Sussex’s first innings and got the 2 openers out in the second innings. This is another “old timer” doing well in the county game at the moment. Young guns take note!
Sat, 19 May 2007 13:51:05 +0000 - Muralitharan takes 6 wickets for Lancashire
Muralitharan takes 6 wickets for Lancashire against Worcestershire, but the question still remains, IS HE A CHUCKER? I think he is; and this is the sole reason he is able get so much purchase on the ball. I think I could get that much spin on the ball if I was allowed to throw the ball, rather [...]
Fri, 18 May 2007 18:23:50 +0000 - Can you be too old to play for your country?
Will players like Mark Butcher, Mark Ramprakash and Graeme Hick ever play for their country again? With performances like their latest scores against Sussex I don’t see why they shouldn’t. Australia, the World’s best team in all facets of the game, sideline great players up to their late 20 and early 30’s before giving them [...]
Fri, 18 May 2007 14:01:19 +0000 - Chump of the Day - Carl Hogkinson
Carl Hogkinson is today’s Chump of the day. Surrey declared on 626 for 4, with getting a massive unbeaten 266, superbly supported by Mark Butcher (179). Then, out stepped Sussex led at the front by their opening batsmen, Carl Hodgkinson, feeling confident on an obviously good batting track. He then managed to get himself out for a [...]
Fri, 18 May 2007 11:11:36 +0000 - Middlesex boys fail to impress on their home ground
After getting a great start this morning, Strauss got out early after the interval, followed closely by his Middlesex team mate Oais Shah. The West Indian bowlers didn’t make the most of the conditions this morning, but it looks like they have come out after lunch all fired up and ready top go. Will any other new [...]
Thu, 17 May 2007 14:38:18 +0000 - Win The Toss, Bowl and Win!
The pitch at Lords will be green and conditions overcast. So whoever wins the toss will almost certainly bowl and be successful. Hoggard will swing the ball all over the place and Harmison will be able to get movement off the wicket and seem. If I were Peter Moores I would drop Panesar and bring in [...]
Thu, 17 May 2007 09:55:11 +0000 - Dancing Man Strikes Again!
Mark Ramprakash adds to Sussex woes as he gets his 91st first class century. Will he get to 100 first class centuries the end of this season? It will be a huge task, but only a foolish man will bet against him in the current form he is in. He has been superbly supported by his [...]
