my only solace here is that Sangakkara could have an average of 500.00, doesn't mean he's immune to chipping Dom Bess to cover

Only just seen the Derbyshire article- assuming that's why the Kent game currently isn't happening?

Not that I want to hurt poor Leics. any more, but Cosgrove really needs to do a stint at Northants. before he retires.

Thinking that England should pick Steven Mullaney as a specialist slip catcher for the ashes.

Good old Northants, 'My Big Fat Gypsy County'.

by Dave Knibb 9/20/2017 3:00:39 PM
Kleinveldt & Levi against a tiring Notts attack... this could be fun

You think the Sky Selection Panel saw that he isn't playing for his county!?

Going back to worst test cricketers, Rob Quiney played 2 tests and finished with an average of 3 and a top score of 9

by Dav3theRav3951 9/20/2017 2:54:57 PM
@Dav3theRav3951 Just looked at the scorecard and Kallis was down at 9 in the first innings and 8 in the second. Didn't stop him scoring plenty, but anyone remember why he was there?

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 2:54:45 PM
I wonder how the Sky Cricket Selection panel felt after selecting Mason Crane for an Ashes tour only to see him dropped by his County

The worst figures I ever saw was in the early 80's when I saw my bank balance shortly after getting a Burton's Store Card in a failed attempt to try and look cool...

by Dave Knibb 9/20/2017 2:50:43 PM
It was that game, he got 3 wickets 2nd innings though, clearly my memory deceived me, big fan of AB's double Hameed in the game though www.espncricinfo.com

by Dav3theRav3951 9/20/2017 2:49:46 PM
@Dav3theRav3951 Was that Faf's debut where he and AB absolutely stonewalled it?

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 2:47:52 PM
Worst figures I've ever seen, Nathan Lyon trying to bowl South Africa out on a 5th day wicket bowled 50 overs 0-50

by Dav3theRav3951 9/20/2017 2:47:09 PM
@Kieran That's some effort

by Dave Knibb 9/20/2017 2:46:50 PM
Worst best figures you've ever seen? My vote is Jason Kreijza's 8-215 on debut. 12-358 in total.

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 2:46:07 PM
Am I the only person on here obsessed with Kumar's back lift ?

by Haystack_Jnr 9/20/2017 2:45:57 PM
I must say, when I came on here at lunchtime I was moved by everyone's sudden love of Northants. I thought you'd all seen the light, then I saw the Notts news...

by Dave Knibb 9/20/2017 2:45:30 PM
I appreciate the effort Tim, thank you

Notts really should have tired to sign some of these Northants players before this innings started
