do the ECB have a full time Darren Stevens Inspector? Would be good to have him investigated for continuing to be absurdly good

You know. To really shaft the relegated county.
by StaggerBreaths9/26/2017 9:42:15 AM
The done thing, Nick, is now to dock points at the start of next season.
by StaggerBreaths9/26/2017 9:41:45 AM
@nickcricket Ha true, maybe dock them some T20 points for next season? :-)

Warks ensuring that the ECB won't have to step in to keep Hants up this year
by MisanthropeGirl9/26/2017 9:40:05 AM
Warks should be docked points for bringing the game into disrepute
by Beth Watson9/26/2017 9:39:57 AM
Does Joe Leach have the ability to be a genuine all rounder?i know he's a bit older at 26

Middlesex: So 18/3 is pretty bad. Warks.: Hold our pints.
by StaggerBreaths9/26/2017 9:39:05 AM
@StaggerBreaths There are a few decent players in the 2nd XI of Other counties, they may not be cheap enough for Durham. Bet Middlesex pay Harris a pretty penny

Warks. to complain about the 22 yards being sticky?
by StaggerBreaths9/26/2017 9:37:59 AM
Warks continue to plumb the depths
by Joe Williams9/26/2017 9:36:59 AM
Well that was an unexpected first wicket
by Mark Ofield9/26/2017 9:36:58 AM
Voges having complained to the pitch inspectors could have done us though. But having watched the live stream all of yesterday the batsmens collected incompetence is more of an issue than the pitch being poor
by Mark Ofield9/26/2017 9:36:36 AM

Somerset wanted the extra 10 minutes to attack the pitch with a rake and sprinkle some thumb tacks around the creases
by Will Colwell9/26/2017 9:35:46 AM
The pitch in uncovered, Get them out there and let the **** flow

Ah, rain. Must read properly.
by Matt Richardson9/26/2017 9:34:47 AM
Any reason for the delayed start at Taunton? Pitch inspector not quite finished?
by Matt Richardson9/26/2017 9:34:14 AM
After securing div1 status Yesterday, I am sure the Yorkies spent all night celebrating...also can go back to calling div2 First Grade.
