Oh boy! Chris Rushworth takes 9 for and 6 for as Durham beat Northants in a day and a half. Northants all out twice in 3 and a half hours. Presumably no complaints about the pitch as Durham made nearly 400 in a day. If it hadn't been for a lot of draws (bad weather?) I think Durham might easily have beaten Yorkshire to the title, though in fairness Yorkshire won the Duham match quite easily (I think).

Oh Boy!! looks like it's all going to kick off now

Think I'll be buying KP's book even though I didn't like him, I'm prepared to have my opinion changed

Andrew · « **Reply #877 on:** 06 October, 2014, 01:47:59 pm »

Strange how KP's fallen out with so many people. I wonder why that might be

ferret · « **Reply #878 on:** 06 October, 2014, 07:27:52 pm »

yes it's up very well, the people who can confirm his accusations are mostly still England players or have close connections so won't want to rock the boat bit of a catch twenty two. he's doing an interview on Radio 5 tomorrow not sure what time tho

ferret · « **Reply #879 on:** 07 October, 2014, 06:02:16 pm »

well he didn't reveal much in that interview but he is sticking by what he's said. Naturally the players that have replied are denying every thing except
one, who I can't remember his name but he's from Bradford and although he didn't actually confirm what KP has said he did say that there was a lot of pressure put on new players to the squad?

I always enjoyed watching Pietersen play (and would have liked to see him play for longer), but I shan't be reading his book. I just can't be doing with these childish spats. "But mummy! He said this! He said that! He called me a cunt!" You can pretty much guarantee the book will contain little in the way of truth. And to be fair, all the stuff people like Swann have been saying in the press recently is probably all bollocks too. They should either sort it out amongst themselves or just shut the fuck up. Twats.

good point bobb, I must admit that as it rolls on it is becoming tedious and of course no one is going to stand up and say "yeah it was me"

aarr, yes the award for the lingerie incident

as this seems to be "the" cricket thread I noticed this earlier today,
Cricket commentator Richie Benaud treated for skin cancer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-29982914

hope he recovers quickly, used to love listening to his commentary when he was on the beeb.

Peter · « **Reply #884 on:** 10 November, 2014, 10:02:25 am »

Yes, get well soon. A favourite commentator - my favourite after John Arlott.

ferret · « **Reply #885 on:** 20 November, 2014, 07:28:18 pm »

has anybody heard how Chris Broad is doing after his knee operation, and don't forget chaps England start playing tomorrow, it's the only time I regret not having sky, just have to pop round my mums for a cuppa.

Peter · « **Reply #886 on:** 21 November, 2014, 07:12:12 pm »

Don't know about the angry boy, I'm afraid, but so far, so good for the team.

ferret · « **Reply #887 on:** 25 November, 2014, 08:32:52 am »

Phil Hughes ozzy batsman is in a critical condition in hospital after being hit on the head/helmet,

and of course I meant Stuart Broad in my last post

, at least I can remember his dad playing I suppose thats a good thing ??

ferret · « **Reply #888 on:** 25 November, 2014, 08:43:06 am »

apparently Mr Broad is doing fine after his knee op, he's been working on fitness levels for the last couple of weeks and is off to South Africa in December with the intention of making up the Lions team

Wowbagger · « **Reply #889 on:** 25 November, 2014, 10:51:01 am »

I just started a thread about Phil Hughes before looking in here. Moderators, please decide which is the most appropriate place. TBH I think it deserves a thread of its own.

So Alistair Cook is removed as the One Day captain and replaced with Morgan.

Not sure that's going to make a lot of difference.

Basil · « **Reply #891 on:** 19 December, 2014, 05:26:27 pm »

Well, I suppose it will make room for an opener who can stick around for more than a couple of overs and hopefully knock up a few runs.

ferret · « **Reply #892 on:** 19 December, 2014, 05:36:20 pm »

not sure how he'll cope standing in the field twiddling his thumbs, but at least he can concentrate on his Test batting hopefully we'll see a big improvement,

Basil · « **Reply #893 on:** 19 December, 2014, 05:47:36 pm »

Oh, of course. He's still in the team. Silly me. Scratch my response.

ferret · « **Reply #894 on:** 19 December, 2014, 06:45:42 pm »

I'm only assuming he is, Basil, I haven't read any reports yet

andrew_s · « **Reply #895 on:** 20 December, 2014, 06:36:14 pm »

not in the team

ferret · « **Reply #896 on:** 20 December, 2014, 06:59:00 pm »

yeah I heard that on the radio as I was on my way to Swansea this morning!
I suppose he's had all summer to make an improvement and unfortunately for him he's failed more times than he's succeeded, maybe a complete break will do him good. I doubt we will see him captain the side again either Test or ODI unless he has a mega turn round in form.

Jaded · « **Reply #897 on:** 14 February, 2015, 10:30:05 am »

New Zealand had a good result...

Plus an exceptional start to their innings.

When can we expect England to start playing?

mattc · « **Reply #898 on:** 14 February, 2015, 12:42:41 pm »

Oh dear. Never mind.

Meanwhile, it seems the Beeb's decision to use KP as a pundit has not been welcomed
