Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

I've doubled checked. And it's not 1926. When incidentally, Ernie Tyldesley's Lancashire won the CC- the first of a hattrick of wins. Weirdly, the counties played a different number of matches and the table was decided by points/game percentage!

Yorks begin tomorrow with a relegation clash vs. Glamorgan.

Tyldesley was also part of England's Ashes winning side that summer, taking the last Test at the Oval, which was timeless, after bowling the Aussies out on day 5 for 125, on a sticky wicket. Wilf Rhodes took 4-44.

Lets hope Will Rhodes does something similar this weekend

Nice link...

Hope Shoaib Bashir gets a few games and settles in at Derbys after a nightmare winter.

I'd have had him up here in a flash. Smart work from Derbys, I reckon

Well, he's playing.

Sussex have gone off like the clappers.

Pope seems to have abandoned bazball.

and number 3 too

What a start for Sussex....batting Leicester out the game on Day One

Pope hasn't abandoned getting out early though

No. His 20 is a typical score. It just took longer.

Good to see Woakesy back in the wickets.

century for Emilio Gay

I assume that's the first century of the season

Twas a fast start.... they went off like a train, but the rate seems to have dropped back a bit

Sussex 222-4 after 51 overs
Durham 210-4 after 47

Secures an England call up.
