***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

[theegyptian]

He'd be pretty close already wouldn't he? At least in ODIs especially given Bell is probably done and Morgan could be cooked.

Probably close but they'll continue to give Hales and Ali a run and Roy is probably marginally in front of Vince for the next top order slot in odi. Good championship runs will elevate him close to the test team. England don't really have many naturally attacking bats with decent techniques and so if he makes first division runs I'd be inclined to try and find a space for him in the test team.

Sussex vs Hampshire... El Classi-coast

Sachin Mylavarapu, according to their website.

Also, I'm guessing the Freddie Coleman in the Oxford squad isn't the Scottish one?

Sachin not selected - hasn't been for either of the opening games that I've seen. Spin duties will be Jack McIver's.

It is the Scottish Freddie Coleman but I don't think Oxford will see much of him this season with Warwickshire calling.

Anyway, bright, but breezy here. Looks a bit of grass on the track from a distance and if the last couple of weeks are much to go by it will do something in the first hour. Could see Kevin before lunch...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Right on cue. Ansari nicks behind in the second over without scoring.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Liam Norwell just got hit for two sixes (well, a six and an eight, because of a no-ball) by Richard Levi in his first over. Ouch.

 

[mightymariner]

Well we already seem to be doing better than last season, we've taken a wicket against the Welsh

Nice to see Brooks already has two, Worcestershire in a spot of bother.

Ansari is gonna be so gun one day though.

Wait, Richard Levi in red ball cricket is actually a thing? Of all people to get overseas player contracts...

Neil needs to do the honours and correct the thread title.

Late start for Lancs, not playing CC this week - 87/0 against Leeds/Bradford UCCE at the moment. Top 7 is probably what we are going to see for the season - Reece, Horton, Petersen, Prince, Croft, Smith, Davies. Pace bowlers are a raffle, Clark a placeholder for Siddle/Faulkner, the latter probably batting higher than 8, Buck will probably get the nod to start the year

 

[morgieb]

Taylor/Taylor batting now. Not necessarily a Nottinghamshire supporter, but am hoping that partnership can score tons of runs.

How did I miss this signing. Notts' team almost makes me want to like them now, urgh

Guptil already tonned up for Derby against Cambridge, that was quick

 

[grecian]

Too many Taylors in County cricket, it's confusing.

Anyway Champions-elect racking up the runs against therelegation-Threatened Durhamers.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Yeah, so I decided to get some work done during the afternoon session...

 

[mightymariner]

Durham leaving it up to Paul Collingwood to bowl, he now has 5, WAG.

Leics obvs waiting for the third new ball to get the Welsh out, how kind of us

Blaming you for the collapse.

 

[grecian]

Blaming you for the collapse.

I'm not calling it a collapse, more moving the game along, umm rapidly.

A michelle for Colly though, WTF.

Oh and the cricket season must be here, only 30-odd overs at Old Trafford, whilst everywhere else gets a pretty full day

 

[grecian]

Gregory for England.

I shall be using that line more than once this year, I'm guessing.

 

[Viscount Tom]

In doing so your probably damning him to never play for England, given your previous attempts at Trego; perhaps you should try some reverse jinxing on them.

Yeah, but I was also big on Hildreth, oh I see your point......

 

[Cabinet96]

Not to mention the Jos appreciation thread.

 

[grecian]

Not to mention the Jos appreciation thread.

Well he is playing for England regularly, but it's obviously very hollow nowadays when he's just not even playing for a proper county, just some Northern mercenary playground
