One things for sure, cricket in August is going to be crap from here on in, or until we finally ditch the hundred. Though if the people at the top have their way this is just the start of ripping the county game to shreds and moving to a city franchise for all formats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much dollar did you take from the ECB, Andrew? Get ******. How this plan will help the England team is crazy. I wonder what his plans would have been when he was still playing for Middlesex in the top division? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that they think will be enough to justify carrying on with their destruction of the counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 This is a ticking time bomb. Surely the money the counties get paid for the hundred (1.3mil) at some point wont be palatable. They are signing their own death warrant (at least the non test ground ones). I think the some serious storm clouds are hovering over the game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Saving the best until last?? 148 to win, yes that feels doable. Dry but not that sunny in Bristol. Maybe drop anchor for a while and wait for sunnier conditions if some are due to arrive.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Kent look like winning of course although Yorkshire may well lose. They are 4 runs ahead approaching lunch on Day 3 with just 4 2nd Innings wickets left v Surrey.

Warks host Hants in what potentially will be a nothing game for Hants. Kent v Som.. Going to be a bit nervy week ahread. On the other hand, are you not looking upwards in terms of catching Yorkshire or possibly even Northants. Certainly were Somerset to win but even a draw could bring Yorkshire within range (only 9 pts in it before start of play today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no way we were asking them to follow on unless we got them out in the first few overs. Our bowlers were like the walking wounded this morning.

ralphindevon Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I always thought there was more to Leachy than the ECB saying he can’t play. He’s just said it was his decision, he feels he wants to give his Chrone’s disease a chance to fully recover after the stresses of Test cricket over the last few years. Fair enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 If Yorkshire lose are they dragged into the scrap? As for us, I doubt we'll get a better opportunity to win a First Division game this season...must make it count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in an earlier post, yesterday or Monday, that I could see no logic in the ECB forbidding Jack Leach from playing, although I must admit I thought it was just the ECB behaving with their customary selfishness. It appears from Jack's appearance with Peter Trego that I was being unduly harsh. In other news, Kent have just beaten Hampshire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to my specalist in last few years I said about how covid affected the way I worked having a much better hybrid arrangement that caused much less stress, She said they'd always known stress was one of the worse causes of Crohns but could never really prove it till covid as she said she had heard so many other people say similar to me. Yes I was thinking you would understand more than most of us. Loads of players over the years have said how much the week of a test match takes out of you, so I do get it. What a tight finish next week is going to be at the bottom. And remember, unless they just chose the big 6 clubs which wouldn’t surprise me, you’ve got to be in the top 6 next season to play in the premier league in 2024. After that it’ll be very difficult, 1 team from 12 each year, to get into the top league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire are home to Glos so they would fancy getting at least a draw from that. Yeah would say so, although depends on variables like weather etc. Northants at home I've looked at as a winnable game for Somerset. We're somewhat improved ironically too late but if we win today and we did draw at Somerset, well perhaps a draw maybe at Yorkshire. If I was Somerset though, safety or not but I'd see a goal or 6th or even 5th as something to win at if not massively likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They`ll make sure Surrey, Essex, Hampshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire are in the top division, the rest of us can just fight for the scraps. Once they get Middlesex in there as well they`ll stop promotion/relegation too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
