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

My problem is them being listed as first class games, not the matches taking place, good talent will still be noticeable in non-competitive games, without players getting their averages stupidly boosted, Samit Patel scoring 256 is the prime example.

This made me laugh, as most is actually true.

Just seen it on BBC. Completely out of the blue to me. Good luck to him in what he decides to do next.

But who is now going to get run-out for a duck (generally without facing a ball) against us when we Somerset in a t20 match?

real shame Suppiah has had to retire...a truly under-rated cricketer, with bat and ball!

Coming from Luton would make anyone turn to drink.

I don't think it was him. I reckon it was some yob wearing a Monty mask that he'd cut out of 'the sun'
