I’ve not being keeping an eye on Essex this season, but is Cook scoring for fun?
 
Mental how many wickets have fallen to spin at Trent Bridge on Ashwin's debut. :rolleyes:

Yup. Which is astonishing, given how bare we are on the ground batting wise!

Borthwick dropped down the order, too.

Ah. Scratch that - turns out Rocky has "family issues", hence why he's not playing @brandon

Fair enough mate. IIRC it isn’t the first time that’s happened so hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

He missed a couple of games last year under similar circumstances. Hopefully it's nothing!

Notts look doomed in Div1.:lol:

Aye, got to laugh at them like. Especially how they’ve become the top poacher of all the other counties.

Always quite liked them historically and adore Trent Bridge but I can’t help feeling them going down would be karma for their recent recruitment tactics.

Interesting to note though just how many wickets fell to spin this week at Trent Bridge - this could be their desperate attempt to stay up. Doctor Home wickets to suit Ashwin and look to win games that way.

Clearly didn’t work against Surrey though - which should see them safe.

14/139 for an English lad is good though all the same.

Better figures than Rashid, Ali, Leach and Bess have ever managed.

The Division 2 table makes weird reading at the moment. Northants lie in a promotion place having won only 2 out of 10 games but they have only lost 2 and have 13 more batting points than us

Gloucs look set to pick up a maximum 24 against Leics today- the latter realistically being the only team who are out of the running.

Interesting days.

Only picked up 3 batting points so would be 22.

Lets hope Leicestershire bat out to a draw :lol:
 
Mental goings on at Cheltenham, Leicestershire seemed destined to deal a draw, only for a complete capitulation from 6 down.

Then Gloucestershire needing 48 to win from 8 overs (at a run a ball) secured it in the last over.

Let's hope Leics continue that sort of form when they visit us in a months time.
 
Glos above us now .Two wins out of two when it should have just been one draw out of two as Leics collapsed and Worcs collapsed from a good winning position
Fair play to Glos though for keeping at it.
My treacherous match mate will be happy though he is a Glosc country/ exile member and goes down to the Cheltenham cricket festival for all the games.
When I see him at the next Durham match I will tell him he shouldn’t be siding with Durham’s rivals
