    *Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

    Agree with that about Div 2 bowling, although Sussex's performances with the bat haven't been brilliant at times. Too many times we've had to rely on middle-to-lower order partnerships to bale us out (although not missed Martin-Jenkins so far, which I'm surprised about - he was awesome when he...

    *Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

    Saturday was actually the first time I've actually sat at a live domestic cricket match that hasn't involved Sussex and so was looking at the players with an open and objective mind, it was good to see a number of young English guys playing well - very impressed with Briggs, Vince, Kimmy Adams...

    *Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

    Thanks Pothas Have to say, I don't know him too well - didn't get a chance to see him much on Saturday when I was at the Rose Bowl. And looks like yesterday was just an off day at the office! He did look pretty good against the faster stuff though. Good result last night - looked a bit iffy...

    *Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

    Michael Carberry Watching Hants playing Leicestershire in the pub last night (with an eye on the Spurs match) and I noticed that Carberry really struggled to pick Naik's spin bowling and was out to him. Considering he's a possible England replacement for Cook (again out cheaply today), does...

    Usefulness of a batsman

    Thanks for the welcomes! :happy: I guess in an ideal situation you'd want a mixture of these two types of batsmen, but probably not in the extreme example of North or my Batsman 2, and where they bat in the order is of importance too I'd have thought. A couple of openers getting in the 50s...

    International Cricket 2010

    How does this game compare to the Ashes version from last year? I have the Ashes game on Wii and just got annoyed with all the niggles it has. It the new version markedly better/improved on? I did think it odd how badly finished-off the Ashes game was, especially when it's the same people who...

    Usefulness of a batsman

    That's a good point that I hadn't considered. And very unlikely that anyone who can get the odd century is going to get out cheaply much of the rest of the time, at least in the style of my example. But then I did say it was hypothical! :laugh: What got me thinking about this in the first...

    Usefulness of a batsman

    Hi New here - been enjoying reading posts but thought it was time I'd finally jump in and join with the discussions. Anyway, something that I've been wondering about is about batsmen and how they score and their resultant usefulness to a team - I'm talking in terms of consistency of scoring...
