Emilio Gay


The Italy games are the 5th, 6th, 9th and 11th of July. I imagine he’ll play the Surrey game then jet off to The Netherlands.
 
How many other Italians have played county cricket?

One obvious one for us…
Grant Stewart of Kent currently plays for Italy. Then Wayne Madsen has previously played for them.

Joe Burns is currently turning out for Italy who has previously played County Cricket and obviously test cricket for Aus. Also Gareth Berg formally of Middlesex is playing for them.

Then retired Jade Dernbach turned out for Italy before retiring.

Italy beat Scotland today to put them in a good position to qualify for the T20 world cup, with one game to go a win against Netherlands on Friday will do it. Even if they lose narrowly they could still mathematically make it as they currently have a better NRR than Scotland and Netherlands.

Fantastic result for Italy that.
 
Out for 6 today against the Dutch in a defeat but Italy have qualified as Netherlands didn't chase down 134 in under 15 overs
 
Just seen on the BBC website that he's been picked for the Lions tour to Australia with Ben Mckinney.

This should be an interesting tour in theory because these lads have had plenty of practice with the Kookaburra balls so on that basis we should totally stuff 'em. 🤣
 
After his call up to the lions I was curious as to his overall record this season I don’t think I have ever seen such a lopsided performance through a season.

The lad made 4 centuries 104, with scores over 150, 152, 156 not out and 162.

He also made 5 ducks and 14 scores of 25 or less in 26 innings passed 50 just once more with 99 v Surrey.

So when past 50 was a big score but it’s really 5 noteworthy innings.

His hundreds came in game 3 missed game 4 then game 6, 9, the 99 in game 11 and his last and biggest score in match 13.

Just wonder what people make of him almost 5 tons is superb but so many low scores is the problem. Would be a top player of could add more runs to lower scores.

Not sure yet on him personally.
