Northeast needs drug testing

 

[lordofthepies]

They might as well not bother with the rest of Divison 2, Lancashire and Surrey are going up

I dunno if it'll be quite that straightforward for Surrey. I'm not convinced that they're that good. Also, having lost today, they're only 12 points clear of Glamorgan, who have played one game fewer.

Great stuff from Somerset, thought it looked a bit out of reach overnight. Bates is rated very highly as a wicketkeeper, just a bit of a shame that he's not a bit more use with the bat.

I'd be happy if this proves to be a turning point for Somerset.

I've seen Bates keep a few times when at Hampshire, quality behind the stumps, could be a real asset in limited overs and how good he is when standing up to the stumps.

Still maintain Alfonso Thomas needs dropping from limited overs sides. 16 overs in T20 so far and an economy rate of 9.9. Been like this the last season or 2 and is living off his reputation.

 

[Skinner]

Super Kent

 

[DontBringBertie]

Tonight's Surrey lineup was probably the worst T20 I've seen for years. I know there has been quite a few injuries but only playing 2 proper batsmen?

Yep, was shocked to see we beat Surrey but onwards and upwards and all that, guwon Glammy.

 

[Skinner]

Surrey have no decent bowlers

 

[Baz]

Surrey have no decent bowlers

Dunn is half decent to be fair.

 

[Bobbin']

Kent are quite rubbish in 4 day games.

 

[lordofthepies]

Collapsing from 93-2 to 140 all out in the space of 10 overs is pretty impressive. They deserve some credit for that.

 

[blademan89]

Yorkshire absolutely destroying notts again , should be over in the next hour. Which will be well inside 3 days considering rain on day one.

 

[Baz]

We've set Leicester 324 to win with 4 sessions to play going to be an interesting contest if the weather can hold.

 

[lordofthepies]

Go on, Glamorgan! The whole country will support you if there's any chance of you stopping Surrey from grabbing second...

 

[blademan89]

Victory for yorkshire , steadily approaching top spot. And also remain unbeaten

 

[Baz]

Go on, Glamorgan! The whole country will support you if there's any chance of you stopping Surrey from grabbing second...

Need 7 wickets tomorrow and got Cosgrove out so it's in our favour at the moment. Not bad for a team with a shocking budget haha.

 

[Baz]

Blam, another victory for little Glamorgan Even Ingram took a wicket

 

[hodge]

Broad finding form, 7 wickets against Yorkshire in their only innings.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Yep and then 50 with the bat too. Annoying about Anderson. He won't have bowled since the last test we played by the time the Ashes comes round. Far too long for an opening bowler who needs rhythm.

 

[hodge]

Back Jimmy out of any bowler to find his rhythm quickly

 

[Baz]

Back Jimmy out of any bowler to find his rhythm quickly

Agree with that. Jimmy doesn't need much to find his form.

 

[blademan89]

Fucking shambles from yorkshire. Needed 5 off 6 which became 2 off 3 to then need 1 off 1 and we fucking draw. Useless twats

 

[Baz]

Brilliant win for Glamorgan against Somerset today, got pretty tense in that last over.

I thought we had it in the bag , good bowling from Parnell in the last over though . Well deserved win for Glamorgan overall .

I thought we would have been 10 runs too short, even more so after Groenewald had that massive over. Was indeed an excellent over from Parnell, shame that's the last we'll be seeing of him.

 

[hodge]

Groenwald shouldn't have put Rehman on strike, should have backed himself to hit another boundary the next ball instead as the next ball would require getting another single anyway.

Are you getting another overseas signing ? I can't keep track of everybody's 20/20 signings . We've swapped gayle for ronchi

Ronchi replaced injured Corey Anderson

 

[Aber gas]

Ronchi replaced injured Corey Anderson

Ah ok , so Anderson was replacing gayle ?

 

[hodge]

Think so, think Anderson was due to start playing when Gayle was supposed to depart (1 game later than he did).

 

[Aber gas]

Shame about Anderson then . Would've definitely preferred him to ronchi . Not loving myburgh opening up either tbh
