Bess and Leach bowled 83 of 117 end this over

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:54:46 PM
can add 8 i believe if play lost, but not last day which is bizarre

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:53:18 PM
That, and spin up the wazoo.

by StaggerBreaths 9/14/2017 4:51:35 PM
103 overs (so far) today at Taunton. Almost unheard of in modern times. Are they playing catch up for what was lost yesterday?

Swampy is on his way to 1

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:47:22 PM

Bell shakes his so much every time hes out I am worried it will fall off soon

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:44:44 PM
Unjustly Nick, I am sure. Would have been overturned on review.

by StaggerBreaths 9/14/2017 4:43:45 PM
KP was always a big fan of Ravi

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:43:36 PM
Belly played in that game, I guess he scored one of the best 27s ever seen then got given out LBW

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:43:08 PM
First Windies test in 2009: Ravi Bopara scores 143. KP got a first ball duck. Clearly we can all see who the better player is.

INDIVIDUAL 50: HW Podmore 51* (103)
Derbyshire 283/7 (95.2 ov, lead by 350 - 2nd inns) v Sussex

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/14/2017 4:42:46 PM
Why's Ramdin in the list of big names? He had one good innings, during which he got a bit silly with a piece of paper, and was otherwise mediocre. Better than Dowrich, perhaps, but not good.

by StaggerBreaths 9/14/2017 4:42:33 PM
@ESPNcricinfoLive Besser than all the rest!

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:42:10 PM
WICKET: Lancashire 238/8 (112.4 ov, lead by 36 - 2nd inns) v Somerset

DM Bess 34.4-8-82-3 TE Bailey 0* (5)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/14/2017 4:41:50 PM
Rashid got 72, and Key was Captain

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:41:41 PM
Ah, good old Brendan Nash played in 2009. A white West Indian.

That West Indies side sans Gayle most by 10 wickets to the England Lions, Woakes got 6fer

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:41:02 PM
if i'm remembering correctly that was the time Gayle literally professed out loud that he wasn't very interested in leading the test side?

by Rob Little 9/14/2017 4:40:20 PM
That England team was much better than this one mind

by Dav3theRav3951 9/14/2017 4:40:04 PM
The names sound good but the performances were dire, half the side looked like they wanted to be a the IPL

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:39:52 PM
There were only 2 Tests in 2009 (Ashes year) first was a 10 wicket win, the second by an innings and a lot

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:39:26 PM
Gayle, Ramdin, Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Edwards and Sarwan

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:39:06 PM
Gabriel maybe? Roach reformed? Would say Chase but he had a duff series. Can't remember who toured in 2009.

by StaggerBreaths 9/14/2017 4:36:54 PM
I thought Roach and Gabriel were largely excellent

by Rob Little 9/14/2017 4:36:41 PM
Chase maybe

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:36:28 PM
Aus should have a 5 test series against Ireland and call him back up

by Dav3theRav3951 9/14/2017 4:36:21 PM
Not sure about that, Braithwaite, S Hope and?

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:35:49 PM
Yes, it is amusing how the qualification is now 25 tests.

by Matt Warwick 9/14/2017 4:35:10 PM
Really? The side that came here this year were far better than the poor excuse for 2009 tourists

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:34:27 PM
2010 Windies better than 2017 Windies, which puts this England team into perspective

by Lawrence Payne 9/14/2017 4:33:30 PM
Voges career was so good that he has change the result qualifications statisticians will used forever to exclude him, and for that I think he deserves the highest for fives

by nickcricket 9/14/2017 4:32:07 PM
WICKET: Lancashire 234/7 (109.4 ov, lead by 32 - 2nd inns) v Somerset
R McLaren c Trescothick b Leach 15 (66) Partnership: 19 (8.1 ov)
MJ Leach 42.4-15-72-4 SD Parry 10* (37)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/14/2017 4:32:03 PM
Clarifying note 8: The 2010s Windies, not the good Windies.

by StaggerBreaths 9/14/2017 4:28:35 PM
A Voges, Averages 21 in 10 Tests against ENG, SA and SL. Other 10 Tests averages 162 against NZ & WI
