Despite the loss, Shikhar Dhawan gets it today for his 125.

Another more obscure one today. The very German sounding Mudassar Muhammad got 102* AND figures of 3-22 against France in the first round of the European ICC Divison One.

Another one from Europe Division One. 106* and figures of 3-18 sound pretty decent but look at the scorecard from the game and you can see that France's Usman Shahid beat Sweden single handed.

A brilliant knock from Samit Patel today saw him get 179 runs taking his tally for the innings to 257* for Nottinghamshire against Gloucestershire

Back to the hallowed halls of ICC World Cricket League Europe Region Division One.

Today Belgium's Faisal Khaliq stood out for 72 and 4-35 against France.

With my penchant for the allrounder I lean away from more hard hitting options from the Royal London One Day Cup and go back to the ICC World Cricket League Europe Region Division One and celebrate Austria's Kasthuri Arachchige for his 56 and 4-32 to seal victory over Belgium.
