    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Smith and Rae both played county cricket this summer IIRC and both looked pretty good from what I saw.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    ... and now confirmed. Interesting.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Duckett was a keeper early on in his career. Maybe they'll do something totally Bazball like take it in turns.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Rumours doing the rounds that Darren Lehmann will be the new coach at Northants.

    What parts of the game would you like to see return to modern cricket?

    Being able to sit on the grass around the boundary. Pitch invasions. Post match interviews in the changing room with everyone holding a beer and a fag.

    The decline of the part-time medium pacer

    It's still very prevalent in domestic cricket at least in the UK. I mean just look at the career of Darren Stevens. Not sure why it has gone out of vogue at the international level.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    What does Emilio Gay have to do to get a look in for the Lions? It's not like they've picked another promising opener in his place.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Agree it's bonkers to pick JOverton as a batsman, but I don't agree about his bowling. He's been way better since he moved to Surrey and cut down his run up.

    Would have agreed about JOverton MkI but the MkII version since his move to Surrey is a definite upgrade.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    I thought Hardie did very well with the ball this series, certainly way better than Abbott.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    If you'd never seen any of today's players before, what would you have assumed about Will Jacks and Jacob Bethell?

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I think the difference is that those counties just poach the star players from other sides. The current Notts line-up for example features Duckett, Slater, Pennington, Stone and Joe Clarke who were all fully developed elsewhere before moving to Trent Bridge. When Surrey recruit from other...

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    Must say I thought Australia's score was at least 30 better than par, so that was a heck of a chase especially after being 11 for 2.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    At least Surrey's success is sustainable. They're not dependent on a sugar daddy like Hampshire, or on raiding the surrounding counties for promising young players like Notts.

    What happened to zafar gohar

    He's been stodging it out in the middle order for Gloucestershire the last couple of years.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    If fit being the operative words... but yes if we're going to take the "let's pick four guys who bowl a bit like Chris Tremlett" approach then all of those plus Pennington and J Overton fit the bill. Atkinson and Stone can bat a bit too. Bit puzzled by the selection of Hull, he has the physical...

    Agreed but I feel our bowling is a bigger worry atm.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    The fact that Warks are 20 points above Lancs despite having won only one game to Lancashire's three suggests that the points weighting for wins and draws still isn't quite right.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Wouldn't mind a small flutter on Essex finishing second. I reckon Surrey will be in party mood next week.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Boring as it is, it'll be another well deserved championship win for Surrey. They are the best side in England by a distance when it comes to four day cricket. Must say I've been particularly impressed with their recruitment from other counties. They seem to be good at spotting unfulfilled...
