2019 Cricket

Anderson out of the Ashes after a reaction to his calf injury to bowling 20 overs the other day. If only theyd tried that before the first test eh! Overton added to the squad, may even be unchanged now or will Curran get a gig in Woakes place

I think Anderson should now retire from international cricket TBH.

Much more like the pitches we played on out there last year

As for the spineless Swann, exactly what the mute button was designed for, insufferable

I went to the Surrey v Somerset blast game today

Pitch was an absolute belter. Was really looking forward to seeing Banton, who looks seriously imposing at the crease. Was a bit of a thrasher innings today though, other than 1 cover drive he didn't time a shot and you could tell Somerset thought par was 200+

Undoubted potential but understandably lacked nous to build an innings still from what I saw. Unfortunately the rest of the Somerset team played 6 or out so we're even worse.

Then treated to an absolute masterclass from Finch which makes you realise how far off international standard the rest were. His sixes were going 20+ yards in whilst the Somerset guys were hitting one bounce fours, yet he was still moving the field around and nicking 2s well into his 80s and 90s when the game was already won

The difference in class in quality international players and county stalwarts is phenomenal and so easy to see. I played in a charity game a few years ago and had the pleasure of bowling against Stephen Moore (Lancs and Derbyshire) and ex Aussie Stewart Law. Both were at Lancashire. On the greenest of greenest club tracks Moore struggled to time anything and whilst obviously v good was miles and miles away from Law. The sound off Laws bat was like a bullet out of a gun and he had all the time in the world to smash me all around the park.... 😂
 
So Denly finally looks decent at 4 in the 4th innings of the last test and we move him up to a spot he's not batted for his county in 4 seasons to accommodate Jason Roy. Brilliant. Keep sticking square pegs in round holes, it'll work eventually.......

One of the short formats has to go. Have to make test cricket the pinnacle and the county game is the pathway to that.

As if that's going to happen. I totally agree with your point but sadly the authorities are hell bent on profit and the test cricket and the longer format at county level to produce the best equipped players doesn't seem to register as any form of priority
