***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

[vic_orthdox]

Interesting take on England's spinners in County cricket from the very successful Jeetan Patel (certainly in CC cricket anyway!) -

English spinners don't practice enough - Jeetan Patel | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

A lack of practice ?? Surely there's no excuse for this! Yes quick bowlers are generally monitored closely during the hectic domestic campaign and encouraged not to bowl too much (which is also a debate for another day) but not working hard enough to develop and ultimately master your trade as a spinner is disappointing to hear.

Well, do you want them to practice, or do you want them to play 16 county matches?

Middlesex started well.

Yes I would prefer them to play less enabling for more time on the training ground and periods of rest.

However, I'd imagine Jeetan Patel still finds the time to train hard enough as well as play 16 games a season. Don't think training harder necessarily means a lot more physical work.

Middlesex started well.

This is the second best side of the summer and Yorks beat them in little over a session.

Think I'm right in saying that we needed 5 points for the championship today so it'll be won just by reaching 250 in this innings.

 

[Howe_zat]

Even eartlier than that

Hadn't considered that other teams losing out on batting points would hasten the process. But I suppose, when it's come to this years' championship, there hasn't really been a need to consider other teams

Ah, I see Eskinazi is playing now the club season is over.

Been an amazing effort given the amount of players who were missing for large periods of the season. Should be strong favourites again next year with Willey joining.

Well done to our friends in the North.

2 in a row, hope we make it 3 next year.

Today's county stuff went about as well as it could've given Yorkshire won the Championship.

 

[Niall]

Going to assume the answer is a resounding no, but lads any chance Sky will bother showing any county cricket before the season ends? Surrey v Lancashire next week wouldn't be the worst idea to show, plenty of interest in that and no cricket all next week.

 

[Cabinet96]

They usually show a game in the last week when there's no international stuff on.

Somerset aren't clear cut division 1 quality anymore, but at least they've done the business against those in a similar or worse position.

 

[91Jmay]

Dan Lawrence with 80 odd opening the batting for The *** , very odd he hasn't played more this year.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Curious bowling result in the Derbys first innings too. Really green attack that Essex have fielded in this game, but it did the job.

also abell got to record his first ton with tres at the other end which is cool

Compo with a come and get me 145* to the England selectors.

What's the equation for Hampshire to get relegated?

Great win for Essex by the looks of things - though it was the senior team members rather than the kids that took the wickets in the 2nd dig.
