Timely tons from Taylor and Bairstow; but Borthwick misses out.

Ajmal still not in the wickets.

Chris Read and James Taylor have taken their partnership to 300* in Horsham, runs have come at nearly 5 an over this morning I think.

Devon & Cornwall in the County Championship?

http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cric ... 81837.html

Just realised a number of County Championship matches are being played in outgrounds this week. I'm surprised Somerset don't hold matches in Devon or Cornwall, like Glamorgan who play a match or two in Colwyn Bay.

Maybe the future of County Cricket lies in taking the sport beyond HQ, therefore increasing accesibility.

This is a bit worrying.

Nothing new really. At this time of year there is a story of a non-test county having financial problems (Kent and Leicestershire from recent memory) and use their assets to restructure.

I guess moving to Sixfields opens up the opportunity for Northamptonshire to generate income outside of cricket.

There were a few cracking Glam posters on 606, sadly none seem to have made it here, who spoke highly of a day out at Colwyn bay.

It still pisses me off that Hants have given up on coming to Mays Bounty (Basingstoke)

Interesting. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cric ... 11175.html
I'm sure there's a joke to be made about actors playing the role of Derbyshire cricketers but I'm not going to do it!
