Fat Eric Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 2nd test match starts today, really looking forward to it, Trent Bridge is a beautiful ground to watch cricket, always a good atmosphere there too, should be another competitive game, I always think it should be a 5 match series against New Zealand.

LiamOwl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Never been to Trent Brodge, but it is one I’d like to get to. Going to second day at Headingley - might see a result 😄 Edited June 10, 2022 by LiamOwl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Eric Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I'd definitely recommend you going there Liam, pisses all over Headingley as a stadium. I've got day 3 at Headingley this year, hopefully the train strike gets cancelled so I can be in The Original Oak for breakfast at 9, really don't want to have to drive.

Skamp Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 genuine question - I thought Headingly had been taken off the circuit. When did that get sorted out? When the new committee were sworn in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamOwl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It had, subject to them making suitable improvements. I think it was middle of February when they decided they would keep it at Headingley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesh Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Leeds CC have ticked every box needed to get the test status back. I'm all for making positive appointments but what the fuck does Tanni Grey-Thompson have to bring to Yorkshire. Also fuck the county side, the lack of inclusion or attempt to encourage people from the South Riding and the clubs birthplace is frankly fucking ridiculous.

Tylluan Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Surely there has to be a better English spinner than Jack Leach. Or if you're going to use him to tie up an end then don't set fields that are trying to take wickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Before central contracts you'd pick a team based on the ground and wicket. Nottinghamshire's Patterson-White is the current leading spinner and it's his home ground. He's classed as an all rounder so can bat too. TMS produced some interesting stats about balls bowled by spinners before 25 years old. Tufnell had done something like 22,000, Panesar over 16,000 and the current crop struggled to get over 5000. Same with pace. Broad and Anderson had done 2000+ and the next one was Robinson with 700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Eric Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Surprised with the TKC one, especially as they're releasing him early from his contract, I can only think the finances are going to be f****d for a few years now considering the £20m existing debt and all the likely compo to the 16 that got sacked.

LiamOwl Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 What a day yesterday, in previous years we’ve sat on Western Terrace, or at least somewhere along that stand, but moved in to The Howard Stand yesterday. What a view from there and particularly from the concourse which looks straight on to the pitch rather than being bricked up or filled with boxes. Superb effort from Bairstow and Overton yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
