PHILINFRANCE Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Still on the subject of players called up by the ECB, whilst I am not surprised he was not called up (given his unfortunate previous appearance), in normal circumstances James Bracey, currently 83NO for Glos, should have been called up. As it stands, he could well be instrumental in Glos winning their game against against Middlesex and threatenting Somerset's position - I know Glos and Hants play each their in the last round of matches.

Why has Bracey not played more list A for Glos? Only 9 games and has passed 50 in 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the greatest respect, you clearly don’t watch Glos very often if you think Bracey should be in this latest England squad. His confidence is shot, IMO, although I hope today’s knock does him the world of good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBibs Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Surrey getting Ashwin in for the final game. If Surrey roll us over and Hampshire and Glos draw it could all go pear shaped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Based on their efforts today Surrey will need a lot more than Ashwin to sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Surrey holding on bravely; 13/3 off 28 overs. Given the position in Cheltenham, we really could do with a Hampshire win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) 52 minutes ago, Midred said: Draws all round today? Would be nice, but I fear that Surrey are destined to lose some time later today, despite racing to 73/5 with Hashim Asla still there on 22 (off 159 balls), and Gloucestershire will surely beat Middlesex later today/tomorrow. Draws all round in the final round of matches would be most welcome, though, although most important is that Somerset don't lose (against Surrey) with Glos and Hants playing each other.

Only 9 games and has passed 50 in 5 I would think this was because he was called up to the England squad at the beginning of the delayed 2020 season and had to remain in the England bubble at both Southampton and Manchester, effectively missing all of last season's domestic cricket. He also seemed to get noticed by the England selectors really quickly after his Glos breakthrough, lets hope that eventually pays off for all concerned. On another Gloucestershire/England related issue, big congratulation to David Payne on his call up to the England ODI squad, albeit under unusual circumstances. Now he is a player who has done the hard yards around the county circuit, and hoping he fares better than JB if called up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Not looking good. Assuming Glos beat Middlesex, that would leave Hants needing to beat Glos in the last game to finish (hopefully) second - we don't really want Glos to go through due to their superior points against Somerset. Match Drawn - Amla 37 from 278 balls! Edited July 7, 2021 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Middlesex are one of those teams where if one wicket goes, they could lose 3 or 4 more pretty quickly. The first innings showed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
