English off season 2012/13

England need to bat the last day to save the u19 test. Seems unlikely given the success of the two SA spinners in the first innings.

Saw this yesterday but didn't know where to put it. More classy behaviour by the BCCI.

Typical BCCI. Absolute scumbags.
Read somewhere that had something to do with ECB refusing permission for IPL teams in ireland or something.

It's got to the point where the Vics have told some young pace bowlers after their first 2nd XI game that they won't play another this year, because other states started sniffing around.

hmm not sure how i feel about that. obv it's a smart move from Vic., but on the whole it seems to be a poorer result for cricket in aus.

Also, Vics think they can get Berry done for tapping up. Like, more than rumour and innuendo, get some blokes on the stand.

some pitiful results by the lions in the warmup games. batsmen nor bowlers performing. hopefully can turn in around for the series against aus a starting tonight but i doubt it. None of the bowlers are even taking wickets.

Yorkshire lad Tattersal has been doing well for the u19s. Making contributions with the bat and with his leg spin.


Meaker showing why he was dumped from england ODI squad with some trash with the lions. least he got a wicket, more than most of the lions bowlers have on this tour. I guess it's good that he gets some experience in Aus as there has to be a decent chance he goes on the Ashes tour next winter.

Stokes dropped. Not a good sign. Hope he doesn't waste his prodigious talent. Still very young though.

Not many positives to take from this lions tour so far but Craig Overton has bowled more economically than any of the others. Hell of an experience for an 18 year old; not good that he is showing up the others though.

How many quicks will they take then? Obviously 12 months away but I'd say he's at best 7th or 8th in line.

Decent signing for Northants imo, bringing Trent Copeland in for the first half of the season, should enjoy the early season conditions in England, providing it's not too cold!
