Cornwall 68/8 (30 ov), Kent
Kent won the toss and elected to field first
GD Edwards 4* JCJ Stephens 1* MA Carberry 3/6 MJ Saggers 1/26

All but over

Even Carberry is taking wickets, they must be bad - But I guess you worked that out with them being 68/8 :saint:

 

[marc71178]

I didn't know Carberry could bowl!

95-9.

 

[Rich2001]

First ever bowl I blieve, credit to Cornwall the number 10 & 11 showed some fight to get them to 140 All Out

If Ealham opens in his pinch hitting role with either Key / Carberry the game should be over within 20 Overs.

However if Cornwall get past those guys then make it in about the 40th

 

[V Reddy]

Great Knock by Solanki.Worcs seems like a very good team to me.
Sehwag fails again but he was runout and Srinath is consistently failing :!( .

Well they out foxed me, I didn't think of the other obvious option

Let the young off-spinner J.Tredwell open with R.Key, afterall his no mug with the bat and does the pinch hitting job for the 2nd's (incudling 2 100's last season)..........

OH that's right Tredders let me build you up and give a glowing report, and how do you re-pay me by getting a 4 ball duck, Thanks!

 

[Rich2001]

Did I under estimate the power of Cornwall's bowling?

G Blewett 9* (41) - S/R 21.95

And you all complained about Nasser's S/R in OD'ers.... Blewy is only playing some part-timers!

Oh but what's this, Matty Walker is making a charge on Blewy

MJ Walker 0* (13) - S/R - 0.00


Compared Blewy to the English International, Tresco is currently 71* out of the total 87 runs scored :O

 

[chris.hinton]

Warwickshire and Surrey survive scares but the rest all went to plan

Also Lincloinshire gave Notts a good fight

 

[Rik]

I thought Lincs were going to win it, oh well, well done Paul Franks

Well. Scotland 138/9, Somerset 142/0 - Cox 39*, Trescothick 103*...........I call that a win! Trescothick back on form at last.........touch wood!

 

[Rik]

[BTrescothick back on form at last.........touch wood! [/B]

I hope that's not Matt Wood your talking about

 

[marc71178]

Looking at the Kent scorecard after the game, no mention of Carberry bowling or even playing!

LOL I didn't even notice that, but i think Cricinfo made a mistake and had Carberry as playing, but looking at the final stats... they match perfectly with J.Hewitt's, so just looks like a mix up that they corected later. I've notice it becoming a common thing with Cricinfo of late, in a recent match they had Key as captain of the Four Day side agaisnt Sussex, yet Kent confirmed it was Ealham and the Warwickshire vs Essex match.. Hey maybe it's just me the high standards they set themself and the odd mistake sticks out :rolleyes:

Looking around it appears that Carbs was 12th man for the game though, maybe that's where the confusion was?

 

[marc71178]

Yes I seem to remember seeing Keith Piper keeping wicket for Warwivkshire and Mark Wagh opening the batting the other day.

It was Tony Frost keeping and opening!

 

[age_master]

greg blewett always scored fairly slowly, i dont rate him much in OD games at all

Good call, methinks

And Lincolnshire should have won. Paul Franks, Usman Afzaal and Gareth Clough hit 83 off 7.1 overs from 41.0-48.1

So near, yet so far. I think we deserve to be the 19th First-Class side

 

[Rich2001]

What about Scotland, aren't they the 19th now?

 

[Neil Pickup]

What about Scotland, aren't they the 19th now?

They aren't First-Class yet - they are only playing in the NCL on a temporary (3-year) basis.

And Lincolnshire are better.
