County Cricket 2022

Masood has been phenomenal but his double tons have been against the two worst attacks in county cricket. Sussex are poor anyway and were missing seven first-team bowlers.

Regardless, he has batted brilliantly. Obviously time will tell if he can continue this against better attacks but one can only judge on what is out in front of a player.

I'm not dissing Masood at all, it's been an unbelievable start to his season, but if we're talking "most valuable" contributions then other batters have made scores which are more significant in terms of the game situation and quality of the opposition. For instance Michael Burgess's 150 was a match-winning knock against one of the best attacks in the country, in a Div 1 game, between two of the title favourites.

Thats fair enough, its just the 2 names that came to mind, based on consistent performances.

de Grandhomme replacing Roach for Surrey. Could Surrey play 7 bowlers? :ph34r:

I think they have already done that against Somerset: Patel, Curran, Jacks, Clark, Overton, Taylor and Topley.
Potentially 8 at some stage if Foakes is playing for England, Pope keeps wicket and de Grandhomme comes into the side.

Aaron Beard out on loan to Sussex. Quite like the look of Beard when he's played for Essex. Hopefully he gets a run of games at Sussex because his playing time at Chelmsford has been quite piecemeal.

EDIT: Mason Crane has also joined Sussex on loan.

Sussex's attack did lack bite but its a good achievement and may relaunch his career

Middlesex seam attack looking very dangerous early season. Absolutely running through Leicestershire like they did Glamorgan.

Nathan McAndrew, overseas player for Warwickshire, :helpsmili:laughing::wallbash:, seriously, he's taken 34 FC wkts at 32. Just the sort of player you need.

You ever seen him? Very talented player and last year or 2 he's developed massively. Granted he may not be the international superstar you want when you sign an overseas player, but he's still a cut above most players on the County circuit

Yep, he is a reliable hand and can only get better. County cricket for him will likely be his ceiling so he'll work hard at it too!

TE Bailey is going at an uncharacteristically brisk pace after making the switch to Lancashire.

Absolutely top performance by Northants today. Put on 170+ for the last three wickets against one of the best attacks in the country and then completely strangled Essex in reply. Can't remember the last time I saw such sustained accurate bowling, there was barely a bad ball all afternoon.

According to McGrath, the batsmen and not the bowlers have let the side down. Lawrence injured shouldn't be making this big a difference in the batting prospects. Not impressed by the returns from Steketee so far - I'd have been much happier retaining Siddle.
