It does get to the 'what's the point in even trying to improve' stage quite quickly doesn't it.

 

Probably the closest we've been in years to a potential promotion and we're probably not going to make lunchtime on day 1 because the scheduling has skewered 4 day to the point of no return.

 

By the way has everyone seen the wicket? It's basically the same as the outfield with a border

Cox got thr right idea. No hanging about

Division 2 this year

 

58% of results have been a draw!!!

 

Match abandoned last week for player safety.

We're playing today on a par 3 golf green.

 

If they're going to insist on this being played predomenantly in April, May and September, it's not currently fit for purpose as a format

The pitches are either absolutely roads or they're very lively indeed.

Patel, Hill, Rehan and Rahane got absolute snorters to be fair. Some other dismissals were abysmal.

If we keep this close and miraculously win, any points we gain will probably be deducted for a bad pitch anyway.

Rightly so. It's absolutely shit 

[goody2028]

Wtf is that track  

 

[Graceroad]

Twitter been more entertaining  then the cricket today I believe with Sean's  brother making threats  to fangofox. Its  really not a good luck that Sean's blocks everyone who asks valid questions and now has his brother fighting  his battles with childish comments and threats

Wouldn’t blame the groundsman though. He’s been fuming all year after being asked to prepare results wickets. There has been many green tops this year but this does top the lot

[Father Ted]

Our bowling attack is so far off the pace. Has been all season, really struggle to take wickets. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Only chance of not losing this is if it rains for the next 2.5 days. 

[Cakey]

Ridiculous innings from Patel. Just slogging then out, wonder if he will be on the move.

Its still a horrific pitch, our bowling has been atrocious in the past 3 games and has been a weak link all season. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Going down with barely a whimper in this game. Really need to strengthen the bowling for next season to have any chance of winning many games.

Yes. It’s hardly inspiring me to rush out and buy a membership for next season

Similar  to Leicester plenty of low scores but a few big scores

[Blueman1967]

It a free stream for the Derbyshire game.
