Since posting that Derbyshire have made 256 all out look like 500

at least one of us will be happy.

See 44 year old Darren Stevens managed to get Marnus Labuschagne out today

Ollie Pope back among the runs with a 132 for Surrey (overshadowed by the brilliant Hashim Amlaâ€™s double century). Dan Lawrence scored a 90 at New Road as well, although itâ€™s a dead pitch.

Tom Lammonby continues to struggle but Iâ€™m glad the bolter Haseeb Hameed recovered from a first innings duck to score 94, just a shame he couldnâ€™t make it a 3rd century in 4 innings. Still, he has 4 really good scores out of 5 now and the nationals were talking up his England chances again ion Monday (probably a bit prematurely).

Interesting story as well on the BBC live feed. A 20 year old Northern Irish off spinner called Jack Carson is currently ripping through the Lancashire batting line up after taking a few wickets vs Yorkshire. One to watch.

Nottingham win for the first time in red ball cricket since 2018, with a 300+ run win Vs Derbyshire

Glamorgan beat Kent in 2 days yesterday - 2 day wins for Glamorgan don't come around too often.

I took out Glamorgan membership when I took a redundancy package early last year.....yet to see a ball being bowled.

Theyâ€™re seemingly doing better without you

Can't argue with that

Some hefty innings wins today in the Championship.

Lancashire finely poised with Sussex, needing a further 129 with 8 wickets in the shed. Just needs one more decent partnership.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #1960 on:** May 02, 2021, 08:18:00 AM »

Warwickshire received what I would call a battering..

leeiswba · « **Reply #1961 on:** May 02, 2021, 04:45:53 PM »

Yorkshire win by 1 run!!!

Looks like another draw for Worcester; 4 draws out of 4 will take us 2nd in the group I think which I suppose is a down side of the new increased points for draws

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #1962 on:** May 02, 2021, 09:17:30 PM »

Great win for Lancs, who are effectively top of the County Championship

Baggies · « **Reply #1963 on:** May 06, 2021, 02:07:52 PM »

An early Ashes positive - Anderson get Labuschagne for 12 in the Lancs vs Glamorgan game

Squared him up and snicked him off!! Oh Jimmy, Jimmy!!

Rain stopped play now.

This time last week Warwickshire had been bowled out so the fact we're only three down so far is an improvement

Currently 134/3 against the Pears. Pieter Malan made his debut and was out in the mid thirties.

Rob Yates currently 70*.

Weâ€™ve been struggling to take wickets all season to be honest

Ahh balls, Hameed goes for 1 shy of his half century. It would have been 5 half centuries in 6 innings.

Still, he is getting consistently good knocks so far this season, I wonder how long it will be before he goes from outside chance to serious England top order contender again.

Will depend entirely on Burns imo who has been well off it at the highest level after a difficult few series.

Reckon Sibley is safe at the moment then?

Safer than Burns I think who looks very fragile. I'm not Sibley's biggest fan tbh I don't think his technique is good enough but we need a modicum of stability at the top of the order.

Not a huge fan of it but some counties have written to the ECB stating that they would be happy to stage the rest of the IPL in around September time.

As I say not the biggest fan but would probably be interested in a few matches at Edgbaston

Baggies · « **Reply #1972 on:** May 06, 2021, 06:24:33 PM »

The positive of having the IPL in the county grounds is that it might force more of the county championship later rounds to be played at out grounds. Might allow the spin bowlers a bit more joy.

Big wicket at OT as Carlson goes cheaply. Glamorgan 153 for 5.

leeiswba · « **Reply #1974 on:** May 07, 2021, 04:00:01 PM »

Unless Worcestershire have a batting collapse then probably be another draw for us with the forecast in the next couple of days
