With the football season coming to a close in a months time, some here will turn their attention to the smell of freshly mown grass and long days sat in the hot sunny weather watching the great game of cricket.
As a member of Kent Cricket Club, I got to enjoy my first match of the season against Somerset at Canterbury over the last few days. Unfortunately, as is always the way starting the season this early, the first day was lost to rain. In fact nearly all the games were affected by rain, some without a ball even being bowled.
But I did manage to get to see 2 centurions at Canterbury yesterday and a very enjoyable day of cricket (even if I did get sun burned head - Yes I know should have taken a cap).
Did anyone else get to see cricket over the last few days? I know we have several Middlesex supporters who no doubt enjoyed the 'runfest' at Lords (over 1300 runs I believe) |  | | |  |

93-2 after 8 now. Rohit looking for a 50 ball ton I think. |  |

Ahhh.. yes the Sustralian cricket team. The team that is well known for upholding the spirit of cricket to the n th degree. But will always bring up Stuart Braod not walking whenever it suits them. [Post edited 25 Jun 9:27]

Or using leaf blowers to try and dry the pitch at Perth in 2017. | | | |

The article is behind a wall but it’s laughable they talk about the ‘spirit of cricket’ with their track record. |  | | |

And in classic ICC shenanigans - one semi final has a reserve day but the other hasn't.
And it's the India v England match (which looks very likely to be rain affected) that doesn't have a reserve day.
Funny that. |  |

India really do run the ICC. Apparently they got ICC to assure them that should they make the semi-final, it would be held in Guyana - which has a large Indian population. India are the enemy in limited overs cricket, not Australia, in my book. |  |

Trinidad has a large Indian population too. What Guyana has, unlike most other West Indian nations, is overflowing public finances, as a result of the recent oil discoveries there. That probably influenced the ICC as well. | | | |

Well that was awful. We'd probably have lost anyway but bizarre decision yet again to chase in a semi against India in these conditions. I thought our best hope was to go first and use scoreboard pressure. I remain totally unconvinced by the Mott / Buttler axis, especially as time for a freshen up on the white ball side now.
Time to move on:
Mo
Bairstow
Jordan
at the very least? |  | | |

Stunning performance from Leicestershire's Louis Kimber yesterday in the County Championship at Sussex.
243 runs off 127 balls, 43 off a single over for most ever (math doesn't math, he had 3 extra balls due to no balls), highest ever score from a number 8 or later in the batting order.
T20-esque batting numbers.
Despite all that they still lost. |  | | |

Bye Bye Mott, Bairstow and Ali - Please
And I remain unconvinced by Curran too who is so expensive
I want to say stick with Butler but I dunno | | | |

Curran has been on the wane for the last couple of years,and he’s now a liability in T20 cricket.We didn’t deserve to win the game and were outclassed in both batting and bowling today,but at least it was settled on the pitch instead of being rained off. | | | |

Best 2 teams are in the final and really that is how it should have been.
I would most likely have done what Buttler did and bowl first, with weather about, but when they interviewed Rohit and he said no he wanted to bat... I thought oops
Be a good final, but think India will just have too much SA |  | | |

I know what you mean but I think the weather call was such a negative approach.
If (hopefully) when a brilliant captain / coach like Morgan is in charge, I think the better way of looking at it would have been to consider the weakness of India and what they would least like to do. For me, their only weakness is not winning a major tournament in so long, so the pressure of chasing would have been daunting, especially if Rohit goes early.
To be clear, I think we would have lost anyway, so outclassed we were, but having watched this side now through the 50 over world cup and 20/20 one, the amount of dubious decisions is becoming extraordinary.
Come on SA! | | | |

Jimmy's last game and a little over shadowed by Atkinson
But can't let what he has done just go by.
Don't think we will see for a long long time, if ever, another pace bowler take 700+ wickets, and reading it seems the decision was to retire him, rather than him retiring
Thank you the Burnley Lara for some great memories. [Post edited 10 Jul 14:36]

I’m sorry to have missed his 700th wicket taken in India but I was forced to fly home after a family emergency on the day that it happened.I did get to see it on tv in Delhi airport though while waiting for my flight.
He will take a lot of replacing though and we will miss him for a while.
Thanks Jimmy for all the effort you’ve put in to take those 700+ wickets. | | | |

Amazing career for Anderson; if Atkinson can be half as good we've got another live one. | |

Lad took another 5 fer.... so 12 for very few at Lords is not a bad test debut.
Granted it was a poor Windies side. When you think of those teams from the 70s and 80s how far they have lagged behind | | | |

ICC are basically screwing Test cricket by following the money in white ball instead.
Can't see it changing - very sad. | |

Great stuff from Jamie Smith so far, what a great selection.
Liked the look of Josh Hull too - what potential. Can see him really improving fast under this regime if he can stay fit. Which always seems to be the big if with us. | | | |
