County Cricket 2017 season

[westoelad]

Yorks dug themselves out of a hole well. I noticed a headline suggesting that Livingstone was making an irresistible case for test selection... well......one word.... Ballance! If saving your side from certain defeat by scoring a ton and then an unbeaten double ton under extreme scoreboard pressure and with the top order intent on committing hari kari counts for anything.... which of course it doesn't.... he would probably be marked down for not expressing himself enough

Warks were similarly obdurate, and at least stopped the rot

I roughly worked out Gary Ballance was off the field for approximately 35 minutes (excluding intervals, stumps etc) during the entire match, which makes his 2nd innings double century all the more remarakable.

Pity he's not a Yorkshireman eh.[/quote]

As opposed to all the homegrown players in Warwickshire's team.

As far as I'm aware Warwickshire born people don't claim to be superior beings.

That thought never occurred to me either whether they're cricketers or not. I'm surprised the comment was interpreted in that way.

Not even the Bellievers?

??Residents of Bellieve I assume. I've never heard of them.
I'll withdraw the original comment- no intention whatsoever to offend sensitivities.We're all believers in some sense or other. Respecting the right of others to express their believes is fundamental to harmony.

You're one of the few other Bellievers I've come across AC, fortunately it's a rare, almost exotic, condition.

Incidentally I'm an Essex lad.

Good few home produced lads have Essex, incidentally.

Ballance is indeed a Yorkshireman - comes from the Calderdale town of Hararefax

Ansari retires.

I saw that

seems an odd decision to jack it in, just when it looked as though his career was taking off

[Durhamfootman]

better offer in another field, perhaps

[hopeforthebest]

He wants to study law and get super rich instead of just rich.

[captaincolly]

better offer in another field, perhaps

Think he wants a career in law.

[westoelad]

He gained a double 1st at Cambridge and then he completed a masters degree Clearly a very bright young man who required a more stimulating career than cricket.

[Durhamfootman]

fair enough... can't argue with that. Good luck to him

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bad luck for Middx. 341 on the board and no result.

Runs at last for Warks' Sam Hain in the late finishing game v N'hants.
