I'm afraid it's simpler than that Kieran, it's just an outground in September.

Bats like a stick cricketer, looks like... well, the exact opposite

by NemoUKS 9/20/2017 3:15:06 PM
Sounds like Durham should spend some money installing some better floodlights

by Will Colwell 9/20/2017 3:14:48 PM
I must say, Richard Levi is seriously underrated in the cult hero stakes

by NemoUKS 9/20/2017 3:14:46 PM
Never mind. August 18th. Unless they've just not fixed the covers since...

F***ING BOO

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 3:14:19 PM
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?

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 3:13:25 PM
@WillColwell haha caught red handed, that joke didn't go down well with Leics fans

Greatest enemy, or best friend?

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 3:10:44 PM

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

This is the ideal male body. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

by Will Colwell 9/20/2017 2:55:59 PM
You think the Sky Selection Panel saw that he isn't playing for his county!?

by Will Colwell 9/20/2017 2:55:21 PM

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...
