Surrey CCC 2017

Good start to CC for this year's Champions. ;)
327-3 at close v Warwicks
Stoneman hits 165 on debut. :sorted:
 

Surrey CCC 2017

Remarkable fast bowling by Mark Footitt, who took 6 for 14 in a nine-over spell of relentless hostility either side of tea, left Warwickshire’s first innings shattered as they were tumbled out for 91 at the Kia Oval. Forced to follow on, in reply to Surrey’s first innings 454,

Top of the table!! :bound::sorted:
 

Surrey CCC 2017

Innings and One run ?

Good Innings from Trott for Warwickshire

Tom Curran 4 wickets
 

Surrey CCC 2017

Make the most of it.

Just going to be like the late 90's early 00's - set to dominate again. Just be glad Yorkshire gave a sporting declaration last year or you wouldn't know what it feels like!
 

Surrey CCC 2017

Three quick wickets at The Oval against Lancashire, having lost the toss.

Lancs 46-3.
 

Surrey CCC 2017

91 for 5

3 for Footitt

Could be a memorable season

I predict a decent season until June 26 when your confidence will be shattered and the rot will set in. :D

Footitt could push for a test place at this rate, he was on the fringes previously. Needs to stay fit and have a good 8 weeks but he has started the season well.

Warwicks 292/6 at close.
A bit odd that this is the 2nd Surrey v Warwicks County Championship game within the first 3 fixtures......

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?

Smacks of Phil Tufnell leaving Middx to appear on I'm a celebrity days before the start of the season

Was never going to be enough from Middx.

Took nothing for granted ....Surrey have done well at losing games from winning positions in the RL so far this season......?

Nice win in Royal London today....
Still on for the Quadruple.......

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.....:sorted:

Days spent with dads should be treasured. They don't go on forever. I used to try and take my dad to an ODI or a day at the test when he visited in the summer. Very fond memories.

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.

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).
My next game should be Middx v Somerset in CC at Lords on Friday 2nd June.
