LV County Championship 2008

[Sureshot]

Looking forward to the final game of the season now. We're top currently and hope we dont choke as he did in Pro 40.
Also does anyone know which match will be on Sky Sports? cause I don't think they've said which theu're covering as of yet. Im hoping its Notts :upray

It'll be which ever one has the biggest factor on the Championship. Got to be Notts vs Hants at Trent Bridge. Although Sussex vs Yorks has a chance as a result in that match would mean the loser being relegated. Not taking into account current matches.

Thats what I was thinking with that match being litterally do or die they may show that instead of the title decider. I think they'll go for Notts thought but Im still wary till they confirm it is.

Bad news for Sussex in their fight against relegation. Michael Vaughan looks set to miss the final match of the season, and Yorkshire might be forced into playing someone who actually remembers what its like to score runs

Somerset 30-2. Come on Lancashire, Survive!

Bump Bump, 4 down.

It's a green minefield at Taunton though. If Somerset with the class they've got struggle on that pitch, then I can't see Lancs doing much better.

The game on Sky is a good'un. Notts have a very good pace attack, which could be even better if it was Shreck, Pattinson, Sidebottom, Broad, Swann and Patel. All eligible for England, and all the hunt for an England place. Notts look like they have a brilliant team, I think they could do with another world-class batter though. Can't see the title going anywhere but Notts tbh.

Regarding the first part of the post.

I do agree with you on that one. Our batting has been horrible recently, (look at the last game v Kent) but we still managed to win, Im hopefull.

Lolz, not only did Joe Denly get a pair in the Lancs game, but he got a duck against Durham as well today . Good way to end a good season for the lad.

Good news though, Strauss has scored a hundred, and Panesar's got himself a wicket.

 

[Sureshot]

160 odd off of 190 odd balls for Strauss.

We won the toss and put Yorks in. 84-6. 3-39 from 18 overs for Mo Sami.

 

[RoboRocks]

Good that Strauss chipped in with a few since he really needed them after the failures against South Africa.

Nottinghamshire deserve to win the title with the amount of England players they have, as KP said. They don't really have a great deal of batting, it's just they have a fantastic bowling attack, which has got them 20 wickets. We'll see if they can finish off the great season they have.

 

[Themer]

All looking good for Notts, starting to get slightly excited, once again Patel has played a good innings. He should be in the test team soon I think, him or Shah or Bopara. Tbh our reserve talent/people on the fringes is starting to look quite vast we have quite a few people up and down the country who are possibly test quality at the moment, should bode well for the future.

Thanks to Loye Lancs are on the verge of a first innings lead against Somerset.
Go Lancs!:happy:happy:happy:happy

Two quick wickets after Notts looked comfortable. C'mon Hampshire actually helps us out a little here and bowl well.

At Taunton it looks like it will be a tight game for us. We've got them 8 down, just need to finish off the innings. It looks to be a tough pitch to bat on, so I think a target of 250 could well be enough to win.

C'MON SOMERSET!

 

[Themer]

Another wicket gone for Notts, It was starting to look comfortable now its becoming interesting could be a thrilling finish.

Oh dear another down 193-7 trailing by ten. I was hoping they could push on and get 300ish when Patel and Prince were together. Theres a chance we might miss out on the bonus point now.

193-8 Next ball

 

[King Pietersen]

Rashid gone for 111 for Yorkshire. Possible relegation saving innings from him, Yorkshire need to win from here, going to need a good bowling display though.

 

[treva]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned on the telly after only being away an hour. Notts skittled out for just a lead of 8! Massive chance for Durham and Somerset to win this now.

Somerset halted a bit by Sutton and Smith, but with the batting we have I reckon we can post a good score for them to chase. Durham really are looking good at Kent, and i think the way Hampshire are batting Durham have become slight favourites!

Compelling stuff...
