@nickcricket Yes, which is why I'm hoping he'll be safely back in Aus by the time Northants have to play them.

@SamInglis He looks far too good for batsmen.

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:36:21 PM
How long do Notts have Pattinson available? He looks far too good for Div 2 batsmen.

by Sam Inglis 6/21/2017 2:35:48 PM
Broad has long term heel trouble doesn't he? that was the thing that used to cause him a lot of trouble in the period he kept missing cricket

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:34:53 PM
Nottinghamshire and England paceman Stuart Broad bowled a single over before leaving the field earlier.

It doesn't appear to be a serious problem though according to Notts head coach Peter Moores.

"Stuart had a bit of pain in his heel, he’s had it for a while," Moore said.

"If the situation had been different he could have pushed on through it but there was no need to so he came off and we’ll monitor it and look after him.

David Hopps at Warwickshire 192-7 v Essex
A strangely subdued innings by Rikki Clarke (at least I haven't seem him play so cautiously before) has ended with him lbw to Simon Harmer, trapped on the back foot by one which came back and kept low. Clarke took 30 balls to get off the mark and sweated 45 balls over seven. Seven down and the second new ball still shunned.

by David Hopps 6/21/2017 2:26:17 PM
I think that's why Ben Raine didn't come out to bat, they didn't want to spoil the symmetry - OCD hits Leics

by Courtney Nangle 6/21/2017 2:26:00 PM
Pattinson condems Leics to thumping defeat
Another ruthlessly efficient bowling performance from Nottinghamshire swept them to their fifth victory of the Specsavers County Championship season and strengthened their lead at the top of the Division Two table

by David Hopps 6/21/2017 2:25:46 PM
We do seem to be missing a couple of home growners in their peak years...saddened that Carlson and Morgan are out of the team at the moment too

by Matt_MYano 6/21/2017 2:25:30 PM
Then again, Durham lost the first game to them, so I have to be careful in my glass house.

Only just realised that Leics managed exactly 134 in both innings. That's quite nifty.

by Matt Warwick 6/21/2017 2:23:26 PM
Think that was his point. With apologies to Matt, his argument was that Glam don't contribute much to England/Wales, instead having a team full of ageing Kolpaks who don't even seem to raise the quality of those around them.

INDIVIDUAL 50: AP Rouse 50* (105)
Kent 320/6 (83.5 ov, lead by 244 - 2nd inns) v Worcs

by ESPNcricinfo Live 6/21/2017 2:22:44 PM
There are so many Aussies maybe it could become the 7th Aussie team? Old North Wales?

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:22:14 PM
Only half @nickcricket?

by Courtney Nangle 6/21/2017 2:21:14 PM
But then half the team won't be able to play

Tim Wigmore at Yorkshire 116-7 v Middlesex

On the day of summer solstice, the reigning county champions will surely have their first victory of the summer. But they could seldom have imagined it would be so emphatic: Yorkshire still trail by 222 runs, and its hard to imagine what’s left of their batting lasting much beyond tea. Adil Rashid played jauntily for 35 until flashing James Franklin to slip; Yorkshire needed him to score another 100 at least.

by Tim Wigmore 6/21/2017 2:20:31 PM
Dobell suggested making them into 'Wales' on a recent Switch Hit.

by StaggerBreaths 6/21/2017 2:20:22 PM
Oi!

by Matt_MYano 6/21/2017 2:20:07 PM
but I like the 8 team div 1 so if Glamorgan just disappear?

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:19:32 PM
Have just checked and yup, that's the lie of the land. Seems unfair that they only have to play Notts. once. I don't like this new division 2.

by StaggerBreaths 6/21/2017 2:18:41 PM
Kent haven't played Notts yet I don't think but they do play them next up

by Courtney Nangle 6/21/2017 2:17:39 PM
@dezdezzy pretending one form of Cricket is another usually doesn't work, prepare for powerplay jokes when SA A bat

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:16:32 PM
Have Kent played Notts. yet? What happened?

by StaggerBreaths 6/21/2017 2:16:11 PM
@nickcricket - looks like you got some bites

by dez dezzy 6/21/2017 2:14:31 PM
@nickcricket It's a "test" match. 2 innings per side across 4 days

by Alex Thomas 6/21/2017 2:14:00 PM
Is there an overs cap?

by StaggerBreaths 6/21/2017 2:13:48 PM
167 off the 50 overs? Lions are going to have to bowl like Pakistan to defend this

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:12:58 PM
Rashid could barely reach the ball he got out to. Took some real commitment to reach out to it to get a nick. Well played, lad.

by Brendan Mulcahy 6/21/2017 2:10:32 PM
'Number of first-class fifties scored against Kent:

Chris Rushworth: 1
Brian Lara: 0'

by StaggerBreaths 6/21/2017 2:10:09 PM
And there's the now customary 10 wicket haul for Virdi

by dez dezzy 6/21/2017 2:09:33 PM
Quite pleased, didn't want Rashid wasting his one good innings a season on a hopeless cause

by nickcricket 6/21/2017 2:07:32 PM
Paul Edwards at Lancashire 485-6 v Hampshire

This is already a wonderful day for Lancashire's players and spectators and it may even make this evening Members' Forum a more genial occasion than is normally the case with such gatherings. Dane Vilas is 179 not out and put on 221 for the sixth wicket with Ryan McLaren (107). Even more significantly Lancashire are building a decent lead here, one which James Anderson may be able to exploit on the fourth day if rain stays away. Berg has bowled very well for Hampshire, as has Brad Taylor.

by Paul Edwards 6/21/2017 2:07:27 PM
...oops. Sorry Mick.
