well how does he play county cricket?

Ben France has 315 FC runs @ 15.75, and 52 List A runs @ 17.33

His lone FC wicket cost him 90 runs.

Just to name a few.

So you've named a bloke who didn't play a single game for Derbyshire last season, one who averages in the twenties in FC cricket, two who don't appear to exist (unless Gul is a typo and Reed is one of the Reed's that played county cricket 50+ years ago), an aussie who can't even get in the Yorkshire team on a regular basis, the Alan Richardson who played 1 First Class game last summer, and Tim Murtagh as the substance of your argument?
There we have it. The cream of county cricket, failing in the simple Sydney grade competition

It is the standard of the Pura Cup that you englishmen compare the County Championship to that Jack Mac and quite a few fellow former U19's eg U20's now struggle to get a game in the 2nds at this stage in England you have quite a few U19's playing county cricket.

That wasn't what I was saying no, but I have to say it is something that I believe may be true.

AussieDominance · 19-12-2006, 04:59 PM

Well I don't beleive thats the way England should be heading.

Oh really?

And you can no doubt name these many players then?

Because obviously when there only 66 spaces to fill, there's bound to be a lot of under 19s playing isn't there?

Certainly a lot more than where there's 198 spaces...

AussieDominance · 19-12-2006, 05:28 PM

but those 66 places nail down the top cricketers in the Country 198 places or whatever 3 quarters of them dont have any chance of playing for England & Wales.

marc71178 · 19-12-2006, 05:51 PM

OK then, so by that "argument" how many of the top 66 players in England are U19s then?

I'd wager at very few if any.

AussieDominance · 19-12-2006, 07:17 PM

Well Broad,Plunkett and co were playing and were probably in the Top 66 a few years ago.

It is when the spearhead of your bowling attack has 3 deliveries - bouncer, legside wide and the "so wide it goes to the slips" wide.
