He injured himself then lost form completely, couldn't even get into his country's first choice XI. Had an alright season last season but don't think he'de currently be in the recconing.

Haseeb would have to score a lot of runs - and he doesn't look like scoring a lot of runs to me.

I don't think this is the most recent one (see Boycott in 1985 & 1986) but it may be the oldest in recent memory.
Worcestershire v Lancashire at Worcester, 23-25 Aug 1978 (espncricinfo.com)
D'Oliveira's a tricky call because we don't know exactly how old he was. When he first came to England, he claimed to have been born in 1933 as he didn't want to put off the England selectors due to being too old. That was subsequently revised to 1931. But his biographer says he eventually admitted to having been born in 1928. His birthday was in October, so, at the time of this innings, he would have been 49. fwiw his unbeaten 50 the following season was arguably even more impressive. It was against a Somerset attack including Garner and peak Botham, which is is a fair effort by anyone, especially a 50 year old.

Looks like Yorkshire might avoid defeat vs Glamorgan thanks to the snow.

Hannon-Dalby chucks it imo
I believe I saw something on a BBC website that the most recent oldest player was Chris Balderstone in 1986.
Opening the batting for Leicestershire v Sussex, 19-22 July 1986, he made 115 in the second innings.
As he was born on 16th Nov 1940, it would have made him around 45 years & 247 days, depending whether he completed his century on the second or third day.
, and generally our tail wags.

I wonder how severely the authorities will see fit to deal with this. Maybe a suspension for the keeper and maybe for the captain too. In an ideal world, they'd declare the match drawn as there's no guarantee that Hampshire would have bowled out Leicestershire without this dismissal.

In happier news, there's a great finish in prospect at Lord's. Here's the Somerset live stream if anyone needs it.

What's the deal here? Biased umpiring or something more sinister?

Nah just think he thought the ball taking off the stumps was in the 'keepers hand, which it clearly wasn't.

Yeah that's shocking behaviour from Hants. Should've called him back straight away. Keeper should get a ban for that and probably the skipper too.
Nice to see six hundreds from opening batters in the first round of games. England could use one.

Yeah that looked seriously ugly, haven't seen something like that since u15s tbh
Highly doubt it. It is only Leicestershire after all
