*Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

Hey, I've been flung violently off the Monty bandwagon recently, but in the end Sussex have won their first match with him in the side, with him contributing. So I'm guessing they're not devastated by the signing....yet.

Oh and Allenby should be playing for England, at least in limited-overs, certainly NOT a tail-ender.

Says the Cornish pasty.

Enjoy relegation.

 

[grecian]

Says the Cornish ?????????????????pasty.

Enjoy relegation.

I've never been so insulted

Anyway, best not to get this off-topic. It's nice to see a number of good young English players performing, and even though I thought it madness that the Championship started this early, it seems to have coincided with that two weeks, we get a year, that is amusingly called Summer.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Only joking.I know how touchy you lot get about that one so i thought it was fair game.

Anyway back on topic Yorkshire have won by 4wkts.

Born in Plymouth if that counts for anything, which it won't as you're an Exeter bloke.

Nash - Ah- aaaahh - he saved every one of us

 

[TT Boy]

Danish Kaneria is apparently one of the Essex players linked to match fixing. Wonder who the other guy is...

 

[stumpski]

I suspect no-one under 30 will get that.

Surrey 7 down now, Davies gone.

 

[TT Boy]

Hehe. How embarrassing. Nel not interested in saving the game, attempting to hit everything.

Tough times at the Hoval...

You're not kidding. We've actually been pretty mediocre for most of the 40 years I've been following the game, but the current side takes the biscuit. Given the resources, their inability to find players or develop the ones that do occasionally turn up should be a sacking offence for everyone involved in the playing side over the last 10 years. tbh I've always taken more interest in the national side even when we were doing well, but the present situation does merit a few emails to the club along the lines wtf has been going on? Not expecting the courtesy of a reply, of course.

When Gus Mackay was Chief Exec at Sussex there was an "Ask Gus Mackay" thread on the club's messageboard. We posted hundreds of messages but he never answered.

Derby win with just under six overs remaining. Dominated from the first day itbt.

Can you remember a poorer Surrey side in the years you've been following them?

 

[stumpski]

The team that finished 16th out of 17 in 1978 maybe, but that was a case of good players under-achieving - we had people like Edrich, Roope, Younis, Jackman, Pocock and Butcher. Finished third the following season with virtually the same squad.

 

[stumpski]

Should also be said that we would almost certainly have bowled them out on day one if the catches had been held.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Losing at home to Derbyshire.Oooh me ribs.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Essex beat Hampshire with one ball to spare!

Decent start to the season with all games ending in results.
