Definitely. He'd be a top signing.

Couple of wonderful catches this Bangladesh Premiere League.

Russell and Pollard took a nice relay catch as Russ threw it in air back at long on as Pollard came running from long off to complete the catch. The best of this BPL.

Benny Howell took a superb catch in BPL running towards the ropes.

Cracking effort by Russell and Pollard to be fair, almost on a par with Adam Lyth and Aaron Finch :halo:

Would love to know who applied for the batting coach role, as it attracted quality candidates from all over the world according to Moxon.

Seems a bit like de-ja-vu - cast the net worldwide but appoint from within like for the Head Coach position, though can't complain with Grayson's credentials and experience. I'd rather have his football managing brother as Yorkshire CCC Head Coach than the current one.

Or Larry Grayson perhaps. It may be though that the batsmen turn to Grayson for advice as he hints that the bowlers do to Pyrah. That would make Gale, in practise, redundant.

Two hundreds in one innings in yesterdays match in BPL. Don't think this has ever happened in IPL,BBL, BPL, CPL, Ram Slam, Super Smash, MSL, Vitality Blast. Alex 100, Rilee 100. Gayle, Alex, Rilee, ABD . What a lineup Rangpur Riders have.

Gayle's 175* is still top.

Thanks.

The bowlers wouldn't have enjoyed that.

After watching Hobart Hurricanes, the undisputed kings of BBL08 group stages, going out in their first knockout match to a side that only just about scraped into 4th place on the last day, reminds me how England's decision to degrade their test team in pursuit of world cup glory could easily leave any international ambitions they may have in tatters.

4 years of focusing entirely on white ball cricket...... blown to bits by a one off collapse to an inspired Pakistan in a knockout semi final... or a DL inspired victory target of 80 in 10 overs handed to a resurgent West Indies team after England had posted 350 in their first innings before the rain came down.......

or even failing to get to the knockout stage because of a combination of both of the above plus a 46 ball hundred by Kevin O'Brien pushing Ireland ahead of the DL target before the rain came down.

Sacrificing 4 years of everything else and then the reality of an additional 4 year rebuilding period, based on a hope that England will win a couple of one off, winner takes all, knockout matches, feels foolish in the extreme to me. England's record in these knockout situations is far from reassuring

Thank goodness the people responsible will be able to just walk away from the aftermath with their pockets a-bulging if it all goes horribly wrong.
