As a Worcs fan I want Northants up, because it's nicer, and because it improves our chances of staying up

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 11:27:10 AM
Just imagine the mess that England's first spinner (presumably) Mason Crane would be making of Middlesex here :)

Part of me wants Notts to go back up, I don't want to see them bullying teams with a bowling attack of Broad, Ball ect at the start of next summer

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 11:25:05 AM
Much bigger target to hit for a caught and bowled I guess

by NemoUKS 9/27/2017 11:24:53 AM
@nickcricket I guess the key question is whether Ball is going to play in the Ashes. I can't see any good reason for it (just another good fast medium bowler, when you need quicks), but he probably will.

by James Birbeck Dar 9/27/2017 11:24:37 AM
Now after that show of defiant heroism at the end of twenty years of international neglect, Notts can lose

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 11:23:46 AM
Two right handed batsmen I'd guess

by Will Colwell 9/27/2017 11:22:44 AM
why RVDM and not Bess????

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 11:22:06 AM
Ball's ODI record is pretty good, going at under 6 on the pitches England play on is decent

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 11:20:17 AM
Comms say Livingstone is bowling offies.

by David Taylor 9/27/2017 11:20:16 AM
Don't know what Notts are going to do without Ready to dig them out of trouble

by salvin234 9/27/2017 11:19:32 AM
fair play Ready, that is some knock

by Will Colwell 9/27/2017 11:18:34 AM
Disappointed but guess they feel they need to give Ball some time with the Eng setup before the ashes.

by acarey87 9/27/2017 11:18:18 AM
What the blazes is Ball doing in another ODI team?

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 11:18:09 AM
INDIVIDUAL 100: CMW Read 102* (108)
Nottinghamshire 257/5 (50.5 ov, trail by 308 - 1st inns) v Sussex

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/27/2017 11:18:05 AM
So Jake Ball replaces D Willey... Anyone else disappointed they're not giving T Curran his ODI debut at his home ground?

by dez dezzy 9/27/2017 11:17:28 AM
@DuluthK.Archaeopteryx Offies

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 11:14:42 AM
Do they not know Sanga has another 100 to get

by acarey87 9/27/2017 11:14:39 AM
What in the world are Surrey doing?

by Humair Arshad 9/27/2017 11:13:57 AM
@nickcricket they're going to be devastated when they realise Man United are away tonight

by Will Colwell 9/27/2017 11:13:27 AM
Surrey have lost 6 wickets for 20 runs here. Dernbach scrambling for his pads

by acarey87 9/27/2017 11:12:44 AM
Have Surrey got somewhere to be tonight?

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 11:12:30 AM
Rawlins has heard (Bowling average 93) and come on to break the Root/Read partnership

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 11:12:00 AM
WICKET: Surrey 174/6 (42.1 ov, lead by 107 - 2nd inns) v Lancashire

SD Parry 10.1-2-26-2 KC Sangakkara 13* (12)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/27/2017 11:11:54 AM
@nickcricket Sanga must be one of the all time greats. A test batting average (57.40) nestling between Hobbs and Sobers (good place to nestle), and several hundred catches.

by James Birbeck Dar 9/27/2017 11:10:17 AM
Is he bowling offies, leggies or both?

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 11:10:13 AM
First class leg spinners: Mason Crane 70 wickets @ 42 Dawid Malan 52 wickets @ 39.6

by NemoUKS 9/27/2017 11:09:57 AM
When Liam Livinstone woke up his county championship bowling average this season was 293.00

It's now 62.40

by Will Colwell 9/27/2017 11:09:18 AM
@Will Colwell - To pick up 5, lift his shirt up to reveal a massive "Mason Crane has a bowling average of 42" undershirt?

by sahilkher 9/27/2017 11:07:48 AM
