*Official* English Domestic Season Thread 2010

Listening to this on the internet.. Absolutely foaming here.. 2 wickets left to dash dreams of a championship yet again..

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah, they need five more wickets to win, although Derbys only need about 75 more runs to win




We were gifting them runs, my thinking was that it would be a pretty meaningless century.

Yeah, I saw you were throwing down declaration pies. But then again it's a pretty meaningless 50 that goes down on his record. So long as people remember it when discussing his conversion rate when discussing whether he warrants and England call up

 

[Langeveldt]

no, ****.. all over the place here

 

[fredfertang]

I wouldn't want to rely on my lot not losing another couple of wickets - I suggest a rain dance for all of us who want to see a Zummerzet title

 

[Jarquis]

Get in, it's on 5LSX. Dammit, didn't realise Notts got a second.

 

[Jarquis]

Could Lancs declare?

 

[Langeveldt]

gutted.. hate Chandepaul.. Ugly, horrible batsman who never ever gets out, except when you really don't want him to

 

[Jarquis]

lol, commentators talking up how SiBo can't bowl to lefties and how Chanderpaul is god... then that happens.
Dire. I like Notts but was backing Somerset for the title.

 

[stumpski]

Oh well, that's that then.

Presumably the match could be called off as a draw at any time from now ...

Oh it already has been!

 

[wpdavid]

Could Lancs declare?

That would have been perfect.

I suppose I wanted Somerset to win the thing for the first time, but I have no great affection for either side. They're both pretty ordinary afaics, so I'm not sure that the eventual top 2 speak volumes for the standard of English cricket.

 

[grecian]

Well done Notts.

>insert John Cleese line from Clockwise<

 

[Jarquis]

Lancs declaring would've been hilarious. Wonder if they would've had it been Yorkshire they would've denied the title?
Eyes turn to Glamorgan vs Derbyshire then.

 

[stumpski]

Nothing but pride riding on it, but a good finish at Bristol - Glos 242-8 needing 261. A win for Surrey would lift us over Middlesex which is always welcome.

 

[Autobahn]

Didn't believe until about 3ish today that notts could do it but they have played really well in this game and deserved the title.

Well played to Somerset and Yorkshire one of the best finishes to a county championship i have seen.

 

[stumpski]

Looking very much like a draw at Cardiff now. Glamorgan still need 5 wickets and the Derby pair have just played out two maidens, which suggests they aren't going for it.

 

[WorcsRoyal]

All over! amazing

A wonderful year of sport for me. Plymouth Argyle and Kent relegated and England a pile of dung in the World Cup. As a level of compensation the T/20 World Cup registers a big fat zero. It just needs the Ashes to be done and dusted by December 31st and it will crown a perfect year.

**** - Reckon you might be as bad as the holocaust..

 

[BoyBrumby]

Somerset starting to pick up the pace after a steady start in the CB40 final. Remain to be convinced by Woakes's bowling tho, I'd say he definitely needs to gain a yard if he's to come into international consideration. A chubby Saffie thirty-something journeyman (Carter) still appreciably quicker.

Ambrose not keeping for Warwicks I note; he broken?

 

[Jarquis]

Somerset well set here, Buttler to go bang in the last 10.
