easy easy  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Are they?.

Let me guess, Pakistan won you the game again. :roll:

actually rana naved only bowled 10 overs because he suffered a groin strain, oh and by the way shout out to dave who said we couldnt bat, 376 first innings and 370 second innings.

big test tuesday against wancashire at liverpool without naved and yardy who has dislocated his finger.

im fed up with overseas players hampering the English game!

Yeah, the England team has been in a massive decline recently! :wink:

no it's not that  :soapy tit wank: its just that it prevents future stars coming through! the only reason we have overseas players is because counties just want the coverage and the crowds that come with the stars  :-))(

Alternatively, overseas players can provide great role models for the youngsters, while bringing in extra revenue and interest into the local community. Help, not a hinderance

a pest! they should be shot! no other countries have them! why should we?

Shooting's going a bit far, perhaps a mild flogging?

Raising the profile of cricket by using foreign stars, alongside English (and Welsh) talent can never be a bad thing. Besides, there's a limit on overseas players, so we'll continue to see the likes of Monty and Cooky coming out of the county game

but that limit used to be 0 then 1 and then 2 and soon 3 and then one day 11! fuck that!  :D

Don't worry Rich, we won't be going the same way as the Gooners

I don't believe in letting certain countries players play here when the English national side is playing that country in the summer, i.e Pakistan.

Tbh Spud, the whole Trevor Penney debacle has got me annoyed. Who decided to let our fielding coach join the opposition? No coincidence that we dropped loads of chances in the first test this summer

As in Trevor Penney the South African ?

NMH

Yes

Overseas players are brilliant. Can't see why anyone wouldn't want them. They bring fans through the gate, raise the standard of county cricket so the English players have to improve and they have taught our young players so much over the years (for example strauss says he would never have played for england if middlesex didn't have langer as an overseas player in the 90s)

it is trevor penney the zimbabwean and as for who's idea for him leaving it was trevor penney's. when someone wants to move on to a higher status job then you can hardly blame him or the ecb

in county cricket there are enough spaces for 162 english players to be playing first-team cricket. id rather we had players improving the quality of cricket then old english journeymen lowering it

My comments were tongue-in-cheek, but i'd still like to have seen him stay, the guy's a legend

Mushtaq got all the wickets again and Goodwin and Rana scored the runs at key times. Well done foreign contingent again.

then you'll be delighted that montgomerie scored 127 today

Could be a tasty run chase, Hall's off to a flier.

Sod off Mex :) Ok we're shit,but we're not as shit as Somerset :wink:

On a positive note i saw the Crusaders win again yesterday[two games,two wins],we stuffed those Essex lads :D  Its set up the Surrey game next week very nicely,still not much of a chance in the C&G,why have they changed the format?its crap now!

i see Sussex lost that game then! Mex has gone a bit quiet now eh?  :soapy tit wank:

very good game went to it tunbridge wells beautiful ground, well we deserved to lose as we rested 3 or 4 of the first team, too cocky by far me thinks, brought in nash and raynor from the academy giving tham there first starts, they both look useful and may come good, we have a lot to thank peter moores for, great academy and the future looks very bright.

we had 5 players out there under 21. so as i say hats off to mr moores.

First versus third today at Liverpool,could be good,come on Lancashire :) !

Sussex are 14-1 at the moment,not sure what the grounds like,but i wish i was there,drinking Pimms and watching cricket in the sunshine.

currently we all out 218, wankashire 66-2 could be close game, dave no naved, lets see how we fair.

news is we are bringing in arafat from pakistan to cover for naved, he sounds well good.

Going back to the C&G, we were unlucky with that rained off game at Glamorgan, and only 1 defeat, the first game to Sussex. I wish we had Sussex this sunday actually because the team is actually a really good one day unit. Frashed Essex on sunday in front of a good crowd. But with only 6 more points available and being 3 behind sussex I cant see it at all. Just shows how shit the format is when you can have 1 dodgy performance 1st game and 1 no result and thats the end of your 1 day season til July. What a load of shit. They could at least have a little round robin play off of some sort? North 1st v South 2nd or something?

I wish I could go to that Somerset game at Bath, but Il be in Germany.  :cry:  Got a few mates who will be travelling down.

We will be there or there abouts in the 40 over league (and have our revenge on the Sussex scum), probably 2nd or 3rd. Having said that, I doubt 'the Middle' will do anything in the Twenty20 and were almost certain to be relegated from the CC 1st division.

Mex, that June 16th friday day/niter against Hampshire does look a belter though! Probably the only really 'big' game this competition will produce now, other than the final.

yeah but june 16 21.00 mexico v angola, so for the crucial game i will be in deutschland

Wankashire   :roll: made 317 all out,Mushy got five wickets.Come on the Lankie :)

The [un]mighty Middlesex having lost the toss are bowling,we made a good start,but the Southgate wicket,aka the batting paradise,will/has  make it easy to score runs,the Tykes are 131-2,Virgil has made a half century at least :D

Virgil out for 99 :)  :(

Sussex are 65-4.

How exciting,the Yorkies are 85-7,we may win this one :D
Up the Middle!

96-8

We won :beers: To celebrate i've changed my avatar :)


The big derby tomorrow,Middlesex V Surrey at Southgate.Nice watching cricket in the sun :D

Yet another win for the Middle :beers:  Stuffing the Surrey scum,shame it isn't going to mean a fucking thing :(

ali brown did bat well. but you battered them. shame that the bears lost to durham.

We did,i've seen us three times this season,each game has been a comfortable victory,if it was the knock out format we might stand a chance,but not the way it is now,Sussex are surely going to get the final now.

all out for 48 against Notts, Charlie shreck 8 wickets.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Get lost Ultra :evil: I liked you now i'm not so sure :wink:
Shit,i saw it was going badly,but frankly i hadn't paid that much attention to it, that is BAD :oops: Fucking useless :(
Should have used that wicket for the test match :roll:

well i am a warwickshire bears fan. hope we set lancs a challenging target when we bat again.
