Zafar Ansari has quit cricket.
Full Stop
Wow
https://www.kiaoval.com/main-news/zafar-ansari-announces-retirement/
He has a first class degree from Cambridge
So I think he can choose what he wants !!!
I am sure he was quoted that cricket was just a hobby to him !!!
In one way I 'get' his decision but the part of me who sits in an office every day and wishes to be a professional sportsman thinks he's nuts.
Pisses me off that he accepted the England call up if he felt like that. Having seen him a lot I didnt think he was the right option anyway. More of a he bats a bit, bowls a bit and can field selection.
If his mindset was i can take or leave this, this adds to why he should never have been called up.
I'm more pissed off that Surrey have planned for him to be a part of their squad for the season only for him to retire after 3 games. Couldn't he have told them before the season started?
Beat Middx by 7 wits in RL 50 over and top of the CC table.

Spent the day with Badgerbee Senior at The County Ground Taunton for Somerset v Essex.....
Lovely day, although Somerset's efforts to chase down Essex's 334/6 were ultimately disappointing, losing by 72 runs, particularly after Myburgh's spectacular 57 off 28 balls at the start of the Somerset innings which looked to have set them on their way.
Impressive knocks from Westley (100 at a run a ball) and Bopara (92 Not Out off 81 balls) were too much for Somerset who now look like finishing in second place and will have to face a Quarter Final rather than going straight through to a home semi-final.
Nice pint of Thatchers in The Long Room and a decent Merlot with the excellent Sunday Carvery......I've had worse Sundays.....![]()

Assume you mean CC game starting on Monday 7th? I'm doing T20 on Sunday 6th. Staplegrove 2 are at home, but that will be on Saturday 5th, in Shrubbery Div 6S (not sure there'll be any club games on the Sunday).I will be at the county game on 6th August at Taunton for all 4 days (if it goes that far)! Am looking for a club match on Sunday 5th as don't do T20 matches. I see Staplegrove may be at home though had hoped to go to Taunton Deane.

My next game should be Middx v Somerset in CC at Lords on Friday 2nd June.
I will be at Lords too. Thought Staplegrove Sunday team were at home on 6th August?
Ok, must admit I wasn't aware they had a Sunday side.
Was a bit confused when you said you were looking for a game on the 5th........(Saturday)
Where are you staying?? In Taunton??......
