C&G season over!

[glyn]

Well looks like our C&G season is over now after another rubbish batting performance. Terrible injury problems for the game though but it seems to me that we are resting Broad and Asif for the Championship. We at least have a bit of strength in depth in that area this year.

Twenty20 is the future!

Twenty20 is the future!

Indeed it is, & only 14 years away

We may as well play a youth team since we can't qualify. Snape the captain should play as well as Mongia, seeing as one of the reasons he is here is to impress the Indian selectors.

Maunders
Harrison
Sadler
Mongia
Rosenberg
New
Snape
Allenby
Broad
Cummins
Liddle

Although it would probably get thrashed in most games

 

[glyn]

I see your point but one-day cricket is a lot about momentum and with the 40 overleague following the C&G we need to get in the winning habit.

Thought it was interesting that in the absence of Snape, Mongia was captain on Sunday. Suggests to me that Maddy just isn't interested in the gig?

Glyn, you are a Cricket whizz. I was wondering today while watching that shower of shite on the telly. When was the last time an English Test opener carried his bat?

Competition is a joke this year. They should revert back to the knock out format for next year.

I think Athers was the last one a few seasons ago, but can't remember the opponents at the moment (in NZ I think?). I'll check Wisden....
