**Official English County Cricket 2013**

[Spikey]

Harry Gurney got a hat-trick but more importantly Goofers takes a wicket first ball

 

[Howe_zat]

Harry Gurney got a hat-trick

Holy ****

**** yeah

 

[stumpski]

Ponting run out for 192 in the last over before lunch, not a bad start I suppose ...

And Surrey declare with a lead of 101. Can Derbyshire screw this up like they did against Yorkshire?

 

[Spikey]

even Rutherford is killing it in ODers

 

[Spikey]

unbelievably, Calvin Burnett's performance today (1 for 73 off 5.4 overs and presumably taken out of the attack due to beamers) will lead to him lowering his bowling average

 

[Neil Pickup]

Glos' frontline spinner is now Miles Hammond, who was only 17 in January. He's in the squad for tomorrows game against Yorkshire.

AS Levels are going to affect that, surely?

 

[stumpski]

even Rutherford is killing it in ODers

Ha, yeah, hadn't realised he was playing for Essex now. RTD outdid him though.

Encouraging stuff from Tremlett again.

 

[Mike5181]

15 sixes in that RTD innings of 180. That's madness.

 

[Jarquis]

RTD went ****ing bonkers.

 

[Prince EWS]

MacLeod back as an opening bowler today. He contemplated life as a batsman for a while after his action was ruled suspect a couple of years back; I wonder what it looks like now.

 

[Cabinet96]

Meschede

Tremlett's performance has to be promising in this latest match, really wouldn't mind him lining up in the First Ashes Test.

Tremlett's performance has to be promising in this latest match, really wouldn't mind him lining up in the First Ashes Test.

If Finn has a serious problem then Tremlett would be an ideal replacement. Bit like the Aussies wanting Harris to play though us hoping Tremlett will be fit that long.

 

[Pothas]

This was a very encouraging match for him though, would leave him in county cricket for a couple more months at least, really want him to go to Australia.

 

[grecian]

Yeah, I'm not normally one to get too excited about injury-prone players, but he's been fit all season, and this was clearly a very big game for him, 8 wickets and well over 40 overs.

We know he's top quality when fit too.

 

[theegyptian]

great batting by glos on saturday to draw that game. Lancs should have declared earlier although still surprised Kerrigan couldn't bowl us out. Top of our YB40 group as well after victory yesterday. Must be some poor teams around if Glos with their 0 bowlers are doing well.

 

[jan]

Not an excited fan of Surrey atm. Four draws and two losses.
At least there is Ponting.

 

[theegyptian]

Surrey Essex and it's warm and sunny. Shouldn't be a bad game. Get to see how bad Meaker is in one day cricket.

 

[stumpski]

Brisk start from Essex against a venerable opening attack of Mahmood and Lewis. Looking forward to seeing Meaker and Tom Jewell, who I haven't seen before and who's been preferred to Tremlett (sensibly, I think) and 'Viscount' Linley.

 

[theegyptian]

Meaker starting well enough although again not bowling particularly quick.
