County cricket 2009

West End's always been a bit ropey though.

Blimey, we have Surrey on the ropes at 18/3. James Franklin starting well :)
 
Leicestershire reduced to 19/5. Two wickets to David Lucas, described in his Cricinfo profile as "very much a journeyman cricketer". Bet he loves that.
 
Oh, shouldn't go unmentioned that Gloucestershire are ahead in the early standings for "county XI fielding players with too many initials".

HJH Marshal
APR Gidman
JEC Franklin
 
Incidentally if anybody gets to see Hampshire this season ,try and go when they're fielding and stand where you can watch Michael Carberry. He's world-class.
 
Scoring runs at Taunton is like batting at the Rec in Antigua or summat. Should count for half.

Surrey 105/7 now, not that it matters. Though I spose we could have a go at rolling them over again if we get the last three quick
 
I do fear we've fucked up title chances with that wicket again. Looks like we went over the top because of our weak (on paper) bowling. We got it just right two years ago.
 
That Somerset game sounded really interesting :rolleyes:

We drew as well but just for once it seems like an encouraging start to the season - winning draw at the Oval affected by the weather. Maybe we won't finish bottom this year - John Bracewell is leading us back to our rightful place ie one place ahead of Glamorgan :)
 
Enjoy breaking all known batting records as you bore your geriatric fan base to death this summer :)
 
Warks looked like they were in trouble - achilles being the weak bowling - but Troughton and Ambrose have both made centuries.
