County cricket 2009

[Donna Ferentes]

Well, relatively new.

Nice to see Glamorgan getting off to a good start this season. Dalrymple will make a good captain I reckon (century unbeaten today). Cosgrove is a good overseas signing too.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Jamie Fucking Dalrymple I used to call him.

One of the most overrated players in all county history.

 

[JTG]

Thank fuck for Will Porterfield at the moment - 60 not out so far against Slurrey

 

[strung out]

wow, we gave surrey a fucking tonking today it sounds like

 

[TrippyLondoner]

yup, you did

 

[strung out]

i'm planning a tactical resignation from my job come august to make the most of some of the cricket season.

 

[JTG]

wow, we gave surrey a fucking tonking today it sounds like

why you speak like Yoda?

anyway, yeah, we seem to be bang in form for one day cricket - no big surprise given who's coaching the team! Robbed Ireland of Porterfield today, he was due to play for them in Belfast but Spearman's injury meant we pulled rank and called him up.

A little more four day success would be nice given how crap we've been since, ooh, 1999

 

[Donna Ferentes]

150 for Strauss today. Rain stopped play with Hughes on 99 not out.

Another 500+ score at Taunton. Really somebody should go for the record.

Somerset arent - they are currently 66 for 8.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

That's hilarious.

What are you following it on, by the way? Cricinfo's got them only seven down (eight as I post, I see).

Its live on Sky, and they are 66-9 now.

Victory begins with an embarassing defeat

Somerset all out for 69. Onions 14.2 - 31 - 6!

 

[butchersapron]

I don't know what's happened here. I was going down friday as well.

 

[llion]

Another century for Dalrymple in Glammie's latest game. He may have been crap for Middlesex but he's doing the biz for us! Perhaps the captaincy's bringing the best out in him as he was pretty mediocre last year.

[butchersapron]

Get the bad game out of the way early - puts us at an enourmous advantage.

 

[JTG]

you cunning bastards

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Middlesex quite capable of losing tomorrow after making Leicestershire follow on today. And Gloucestershire may not feel certain of defending a lead of 370 either...

 

[JTG]

You're right, I'm not certain of it Especially not with Andrew Hall still in.

Still, there is hope that South Africa A could provide us with a first four day win since 2007. Everything crossed for tomorrow...

Chris Woakes: 17 overs, 39 runs, 6 wickets vs. West Indians.

This morning I have mostly discovered the cricinfo button for Google toolbar. Very handy.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Less than a hundred to chase now, Hall still in and four wickets left...

We've got no bowlers, they've all been injured

 

[Santino]

Rob Key out first ball to West Indians. Another nail in the coffin of his England career.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Gloucestershire won in the end: Middlesex aren't going to.
