Even more ironic that they're signing all these players with the promise of Div 1 cricket, and they're about to mess up promotion

Ironic, that they name their T20 side after Robin Hood, then go around robbing the poor to give to themselves.

Sorry, Cook and Sehwag are the correct answers to the 90/190/290 question. Viv Richards was out in the 90s and the 290s and was also once left stranded on 192*

Luke Wood will be available surely, can't see him getting much of a gig there next year

by Dav3theRav3951 9/20/2017 11:21:56 AM
Well quite. Go rob Notts., they've got pacers coming out of their pointy rotting ears.

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 11:21:01 AM
@StaggerBreaths Thinking more about it, I'm less ok with it. He's not even likely to be a long term solution, given how injury prone he is, in conjunction with his age. Surely Kent can steal a younger model from somewhere?

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 11:19:18 AM
Amazing spell from Kleinveldt.

by Humair Arshad 9/20/2017 11:18:38 AM
Big Rory K will enjoy his double cheeseburger tonight (whilst considering which county to play for next year)

YASS. Belly good show.

Very.

@StaggerBreaths I will be a shameless hypocrite and celebrate if Kent sign Onions. Our bowling has been pathetic.

by Kieran Layer 9/20/2017 11:15:23 AM
Sehwag.

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 11:14:48 AM
Cook for one (190 and 294)

Following Carlson's dismissal for 192, can anyone name both cricketers to have been dismissed in the 90s, the 190s and the 290s in Test cricket?

by Will Colwell 9/20/2017 11:13:09 AM
Vithushan Ehantharajah at Middlesex 233 & 11-0 v Lancashire 165 all out

Quality from Middlesex, who have that lead, of 68. No TRJ, no problem. Harris, Murtagh and Rayner polished off the Lancashire tail. The last five wickets fell for 52 – most of those scored by Ryan McLaren, who has just handed his cap to the standing umpire to open the bowling from the Nursery End. He took 38 balls to get off the mark before playing superbly on this pitch to find 27 runs. Nick Compton has got off his bear with a glorious shot through midwicket. Looking rosy for the defending champions...

by Vithushan Ehantharajah 9/20/2017 11:12:57 AM
Come on Rory, one to go.

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 11:10:53 AM
Sangakkara should be very pleased he's retired from tests, but I imagine Ben Foakes and Sam Curran are terrified

by Will Colwell 9/20/2017 11:10:02 AM
That's only worth about 12 runs at CLS.

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 11:08:52 AM
Notts are seriously in trouble here. They have to play Sussex next, who've themselves massively screwed up having one of the strongest teams in the division. Sussex could very easily beat them. Exciting times for underdog fans!

Another English hopeful bites the Trego.

Rumour has it that Kent are after Onions Kieran, careful...

by StaggerBreaths 9/20/2017 11:08:04 AM
Just seen the story about Notts grabbing Jennings. Carrion birds, much?

You want when the ECB make Cook play for Essex next week and they turn back into world beaters, Typical racist ECB Yorkshire bias

by nickcricket 9/20/2017 11:02:25 AM
@MisanthropeGirl Presumably he thinks Durham will keep him

by nickcricket 9/20/2017 11:01:10 AM
Where will Jennings go if Notts don't get promoted?

by MisanthropeGirl 9/20/2017 11:00:19 AM
Essex in match fixing probe!

by Lawrence Payne via email 9/20/2017 10:59:28 AM
Almost hoping we (Worcs) fail to get the required six points against Durham but are saved by Sussex thrashing Notts. In this scenario, Notts are not promoted

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/20/2017 10:58:53 AM
Seriously Essex sort it out
