County Championship 2024

[sussexpob]

Gloucestershire 109 all out.

Middlesex knocking off Derby quickly also 134/8

Yorkshire having a good start

No one blinking just yet

[Arthur Crabtree]

A lot of wickets around generally. Especially in Birmingham.

Old trafford looks a belter too... Somerset next to the slaughterhouse.

Somerset next to the slaughterhouse.

7 down and still 20 short

[Durhamfootman]

9 down and still 19 short

[Durhamfootman]

looks like a green top at OT, but after preparing 2 bunsens on worn pitches, I guess Somerset can't complain

[Durhamfootman]

Gregory and Leach earn Somerset a 6 run first innings lead

in theory there's still 12 overs play left for day 1. Could yet be time for another 3 or 4 wickets in the day

The mighty Essex have reduced Warwickshire to 3-3!

[Arthur Crabtree]

3-4.

Might have a fiver on Essex winning that one.

good time for Surrey to be playing Durham, with no Potts, no Raine, no Carse, no Coughlin and not much of an OS. Leaving us with a dutch allrounder, two rookies and Parky to bowl Surrey out twice. If we don't score big in the first innings we might as well go home, and at 144-5.... we might as well go home

Doing the Dutch lad a disservice..... "record breaking Dutch seamer" sounds far sexier....

Well, until you realise the record in question was going at 13 an over in the world bowling effort ever made in limited overs cricket when England put up 498 in 50 overs....

Wonder if he still has visions of Jos Buttler haunting his dreams.

[Durhamfootman]

He’s done okay though, tbf

And he hasn’t gone around the park either, which makes a refreshing change

[Arthur Crabtree]

I thought they were going to get away with it

like the institutional racism

Well, Essex have been fined.

[Durhamfootman]

utterly astonishing that a score of 232 can win a match by an innings and 40 runs.... and at home as well

Warks ought to be ashamed of themselves

Well, Essex have been fined.

100k

half suspended for 2 years

no points deductions, because they didn't argue about it

Points deductions for the wrong bat but nothing for institutional racism.

I see Stoneman is being released by Middlesex, made a hundred today though.
