A shame, as I thought if we could get to lunch and perhaps an hour or so after, it might make for an interesting afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few others likely to move on too I think - Brooks, Waller, MDL. So maybe quite an overhaul this winter. Think there could be quite a few on the move around the country before next season. Yorkshire have already announced that Willey is going back to Northants and they might lose others for financial/cultural reset reasons. Warks are being linked with Moeen, plus Mahmood from us.

Looking forward to the Indians tuning into the streams to discover he'll mainly be playing at Blackpool, Sedbergh and Southport, not Old Trafford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprises, they continue to get the lowest pitch ratings in the country and then still cry at everyone else. Worse set of fans in the country, even worse than Surrey.

bearded_red Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 14 wickets falling to spin by lunch on Day 2. A part time off spinner getting Alastair Cook out. Imagine if this had happened at Taunton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I have been watching the Essex/Hants game on and off, and I see that our (@TomF's) friend Harmer has now taken his sixth wicket! - at a rate of almost six an over - I reckon that I could still bowl 20 or so overs of filth, and still pick up a few boundary catches, but that would surely not make me a good bowler. It now seems likely that Essex will win this match, but there just seems something wrong with a Championship pitch being prepared to result in a three day finish, even it is relatively high scoring.

I was too slow to edit, but this will no doubt cheer you (@TomF) up: Simon Harmer claimed Championship-best figures of 15 for 207 as Essex clinched a thoroughly enjoyable match by 12 runs, but Hampshire have reason for considerable pride. Everything was tilted against them, not just Harmer, in his element on a turning pitch, but some borderline umpiring decisions and unfortunate ball changes. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/county-championship-division-one-2022-1297650/essex-vs-hampshire-36th-match-1297735/match-report-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. A very useful one day player, but I am not sure how he will cope in First Class cricket on, presumably, green pitches in September. Didn't he struggle a bit when facing Broad?
