University Matches 2015

[Making_Splinters]

Up to 150 now.

[Aidan11]

Not a good day to be Peter Moores or James Whittaker.

[Arthur Crabtree]

If he'd failed, the press would have had a good laugh at his expence.

No doubt his legal and PR team were responsible for his innings.

[Making_Splinters]

Out for 170 off 149

[Aidan11]

Top knock.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pleased for him.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Although I presume he threw it away as usual.

[Aidan11]

He did crank up the scoring rate so he probably did.

[Making_Splinters]

Lose lose situation for KP. Had he gotten out cheaply he'd have been lampooned, now he's scored big runs it will be written off as just being against a Uni side.

Still, he looks hungry and in the mood to prove a point. A dangerous prospect for opposition bowlers.

[Aidan11]

Derek Pringle said a fair bit of the crowd left when he got out.

[Alviro Patterson]

Gives something for KP to build on, but still a long way to go and there are more notable knocks in the County Championship such as Tom Fell's 114 against the best county bowling attack.

[Aidan11]

Wilson has also got a ton.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Makes it a bit easier for the press. Though batters making tons in KP's wake used to be a feature of England's batting.

[m@tt]

Although I presume he threw it away as usual.

Apparently once he reached three figures, he started bringing out the ramps and reverse hits. It's a friendly, so why not - entertain the crowds.

[m@tt]

Derek Pringle said a fair bit of the crowd left when he got out.

He's made a couple of snide remarks about the innings and mysteriously didn't acknowledge when he reached three figures. Not that anyone gives a monkeys what Pringle thinks.
