2021 English Cricket Season

[theegyptian]

That Sussex team is a sight. Looks like they are on top currently against a vastly more experienced Worcestershire side.

It just flashed across twitter than Stevens had a century. Was sure he was 55* overnight. Less than 30 minutes to reach his century today.

 

[Starfighter]

Stevens is an absolute treasure.

Thats stevens what, 3rd hundred of the season? Jesus christ.

Thats stevens what, 3rd hundred of the season? Jesus christ.

I'm a Kent supporter, have been watching it from my lounge room in Perth, he's already got a contract for next year, when he will be 46.
Hope to be over in England in 2022, to see the last few years of his career.

He came in at 142-5, scored 107 of the last 120 runs, including all 52 this morning.

Darren Stevens today: 52* batting with the #11 to bring up his century.

All other batsmen so far today: 15/7.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Kent are still on course to win for the first time this season with Leicestershire 226-9 chasing 380. But considering they were 20-6 and 161-9 I hoped it would be more comfortable and chickens are still not being counted.

 

[tony p]

Kent finally had a win.
Saw a stat, Three last wicket partnerships of over 50 in the match, only the 4th time that's ever happened.

Lol what happened to Devon we used to be the strongest team! Somerset done stealing all the players I suppose.

 

[Starfighter]

A great round for collapses and sub-100 scores so far.

 

[Pothas]

My first day at a county game for a long while. Just saw the 20 wickets.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

My first day at a county game for a long while. Just saw the 20 wickets.

Sounds like it would have been a fun day to watch, if not the highest quality fare. One of those classic days where the team batting first finish the day batting with 10 wickets still in hand and they lead by just 14.

 

[wpdavid]

Somerset not quite impressing in this round of matches.

 

[theegyptian]

Yorkshire having sat on the finding of an independent report on Rafiq and racism for the last few weeks refusing to release, have decide to release it at the exact time of the cancellation of this test. Burying their bad news. Disgusting stuff.

 

[ImpatientLime]

It determined that there was insufficient evidence to conclude that Yorkshire County Cricket Club is institutionally racist.

trollololololol

vile institution

 

[ImpatientLime]

Azeem Rafiq also alleged that during this second period he suffered bullying and racism from a teammate. The Panel did not find Azeem Rafiq’s evidence wholly credible and did not uphold these allegations concluding that both Azeem and the player engaged in friendly verbal attack towards each other, and no malice was intended by either to the other. The Panel concluded that Azeem Rafiq and his teammate’s language towards each other was unacceptable and was racist and derogatory and the Panel did not condone the language. Further specific allegations against the teammate were not upheld.

its a stunning read i have to say. the front on these ****s.

Northumberland are simply dreadful, although they did actually manage to win a game this season!

It's quite an astonishing whitewash. Did Andrew Gale write it himself?
