kerrdavidson95 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Pricing up for a group of us to go to the Lancashire vs Yorkshire T20 game at Old Trafford. Its amazing that the price to get to the match and return bus travel costs less than a taxi in and out of Glasgow for a night out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 James Vince looks like the guy who is going to replace Sweet Baby James Taylor. Nick Compton gets another chance at 3... but you would have to think Ian Bell will get the nod if he continues to fail. Jake Ball also called up as competition for Finn, I suspect. Never seen him play, but he seems to have jumped ahead of quite a few names in the queue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 What's happened to mark wood? He still injured? He's out for about 6 months. I would have picked Plunkett, his steady bowling turned around England's 20/20 World Cup after Topley was so wayward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like plunkett has a bit of devilment in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The 50th Citylets Scottish Cup got up and running today with the first round of matches taking place across the country: Drumpellier (338-5, 50o) beat Marchmont (138, 35.5o) by 200 runs. Two centurions for Drumps, comfortable win over Edinburgh Scottish Cup debutants. Forfarshire (365-5, 50o) beat Ayr (206, 46o) by 159 runs. Craig Wallace adds 165 to his already substantial run count this season. Poloc (147, 34.4o) lost to Heriots (150-7, 37.4o) by 3 wickets. Low scoring affair but Heriots progress. Ferguslie (309-6, 50o) beat Weirs (67, 22o) by 242 runs. Domination for Paisley side. 138 for Preston-Jones Dumfries (50, 16.5o) lost to Glenrothes (51-0, 3.3o) by 10 wickets. Glenrothes smash their way to total after rolling West Prem contenders Dumfries. Grange (333-9, 50o) beat Watsonians (65, 14o) by 268 runs. Tournament holders make statement in pursuit of consecutive wins. Dunniker vs Clydesdale - result awaited. Uddingston (380-5, 50o) beat Renfrew (130, 43.2o) by 250 runs. Big result for Uddy, on paper match could've gone either way. Stirling County (188-5, 43.2o) beat Penicuik (185, 43.2o) by 5 wickets. Nice win for Stirling who progress. Greenock (110-1, 40.3o) beat Stenhousemuir (109, 40.3o) by 9 wickets. Western Prem strugglers come unstuck against Greenock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I scored ( ) for about 15 overs at a completely exposed Meikleriggs having already fielded for 40+ overs yesterday. I now look like Two Face from Batman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 My writing hand is well and truly roasted after today. I'm positive that its in the league rules a sheltered area must be provided for scorers. Were Renfrew as dire as the score suggests? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Looking forward to 1st test tomorrow. Reckon this will be the moment it really hits James Taylor hardest having to retire. Must be galling having worked so hard to secure a slot in test side to then have to quit all of a sudden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I reckon the line up will be Cook Hales Compton Root Stokes Vince Bairstow Ali Broad Finn Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Think Vince is down to bat at 5, team was confirmed earlier The SL team it does look fairly weak without Sanga and Jaya, think Mathews is the last of the cracking players they've produced in the last 20 years, that's not to say some of these guys won't be, but looking at the squad most of them are reasonably experienced in terms of age if not appearances. edit: you could pick some team from the players I was talking about Jayasuriya Dilshan Sangakkara De Silva Jayawardene Ranatunga © Tillekaratne (wk) Vaas Malinga Murali Mendis Edited May 18, 2016 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Interesting to see the likes or Robson, Bell-Drummond, D'Oliveira, Westley and Borthwick in the runs in the County Championship. I remain unconvinced by Compton at 3, would rather see Vince up the order with someone like Westley or Hildreth in at 5. Of course, the opening slot remains up for grabs as well. Really looking forward to tomorrow's play, probably most of the day sat in front of the TV watching it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
