County Cricket 2017 season

[budgetmeansbudget]

The Surrey collapse is on?

[Durhamfootman]

feels like it

get Stoneman and it'll feel like it's Nott's to lose

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pace off working for Notts. Remember that?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pattinson gets a wicket for the pace attack.

Presume with it being on July 1, getting a ton in the fifty over final doesn't lead to a tour spot any more.

[Durhamfootman]

No, but it's the only thing that will catch the eye of the England selectors. They may have people touring the counties all season long, but they can still be seduced by the big occasion.

[Arthur Crabtree]

140-1 after 22 not even doubled after 44, this innings has become a struggle.

[st_brendy]

Surrey have an excellent top three, possibly the best in the country. But after that, they only really have Foakes.

If it wasn't for Notts' horror fielding, Surrey wouldn't even be close to this score.

[Durhamfootman]

what was the horror fielding?

300 looking likely... will it be enough?

certainly big enough to defend with a fair degree of confidence

[Durhamfootman]

not a lot of impetus from Sorry

the RR from the last 5 overs is barely bigger than the innings rate.

perhaps they think they've got enough

perhaps Stoneman just wants to play for the selectors

2 simple catches dropped early on and generally shoddy ground fielding throughout.

[Durhamfootman]

drops off Stoneman?

[st_brendy]

drops off Stoneman?

Roy first ball of the match. Stoneman when he was on 20 or 30 odd.

And the ground fielding has probably given away about 20 runs.

[captaincolly]

drops off Stoneman?

Roy dropped from the first ball of the match and Stoneman survived another routine chance when he was on about 30.

[Durhamfootman]

very costly then

[Durhamfootman]

5 wides at this stage, just won't do
