Yorkshire lad Shaw struggling in the u19's. 16 no balls in 11 overs. England doing ok tho.

Did you know anything about the players in the team ? The one's that are spoken of a bit.

Ed Barnard got a 100 at number 7. With Worcestershire.

Our promising quick, Kirsten, fractured his lumbar spine and that really hurt us as we were counting on him and Williams who bowled well.

tbh I don't know much about many of them. They're all a bit too young, Velani was highly thought of at Essex from a real early age but I'm not sure he's progressed quite as they'd liked. Thakor broke into a weak leicestershire team last season and did well but he was injured before the first test - I'd guess he is the most developed of the English group. Stone played a few games for Northants last year without much success. Griffiths is rated highly at Lancashire and has played quite a lot of decent second team and league cricket.

I wouldn't say any of guys (maybe Thakor) have been talked about too much, but we're at the start of a world cup cycle so most of the players are pretty young and still someway from breaking into county cricket.

Fair enough. We've only picked people thinking about the next WC for our ODI squad. Most of the test team don't qualify. Only our keeper and the 12th man quick does.

Heard of Thakor. Pity about his injury. There was an article on BBC recently where Alec Stewart highlighted him as one two watch for 2013.

Tremlett bowling which is good news. If he could get a good, and injury-free start to the season, who knows?

 

[Neil Pickup]

A great day two for the England bowlers - I really don't know much about any of them bar Miles, but it looks like Oli Stone used his options pretty well. Would hope we can close it out from here.

A surprising number of 17 year olds playing. Josh Shaw was born in the obscenely recent 1996.

Tremlett on the indoor nets at the Oval must be the most terrifying thing ever. Thank God they've got the mats out to reduce the bounce.

 

[BoyBrumby]

First couple from the big fella looked a wee bit tentative, but seemed as tho he was building a head of steam as he went.

Last one looked a bit spicey.

Love to see him in the XI come the Ashes.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah would be great to see him back, you still think it is a bit unlikely but I had all but given up on his chances a few years ago so you never know.

I can remember 1996 vividly.

It doesn't make sense for anyone born that recently to be toilet trained, let alone playing international cricket.

 

[Howe_zat]

Cabinet96 to confirm

 

[Cabinet96]

Confirmed. Frightening to think he's in/was in the same year as me at school.

I know a girl born in 1995 who became eligible to vote over the weekend. How does that make you feel?

 

[Cabinet96]

Will be 4 months away from being eligible to vote next general election. Sucks

I became eligible to vote in the past 2 weeks as well.

Yeah the fact that and her are very close in age came up once before; I can't actually remember why though.

ok ok take it elsewhere you sick freak

 

[Neil Pickup]

Wait, that means you registered when you were 12?

Actually, that's not at all surprising. It explains this too.

You're not missing out on anything and you can't make a difference.
