Now I am not great fan of Adil Rashid, but every run he made
on Sunday and Monday for Yorkshire against Somerset made my teeth grind and my
stomach churn. He seems to do it all the time against Somerset and will now say
that he should be in contention for an England call-up.
Well only he says that. The last time he held a bat and
bowled a ball for his country he was absolutely rubbish, a bit like Ravi
Bopara, and was carrying a bit of weight. No wonder he was dropped.
So the 2014 County Championship season is now truly up and
running, with Sussex showing some good form early on. They hammered Middlesex
by and innings, and have recently skittled out Warwickshire for 87, ok they
were 229 all out themselves and 20 wickets fell on a day, but hey they are in a
commanding position.
Nottinghamshire have also made a winning start, beating
newly promoted Lancashire in their first game and now scoring heavily against
Middlesex in their current match. Saying that, Steve Finn and James Harris have
taken four wickets a piece for Middlesex, giving the England selectors a nudge.
Just glad to see Samit Patel failing for the second innings in a row for Notts
– no you are not good enough for England, let alone batting as high as five for
Notts.
You’d have to look in to Division Two for the best result of
the opening round of matches, our friends from Glamorgan thumping money bags
Surrey by 10 wickets. Great result and welcome to the real world Surrey, ha
bloody ha!
Now, Gloucestershire, a county which rarely gets any column
inches from me, but did you see a player called Tavare scoring a ton. Now, when
I see the name Tavare my minds go back to Chris, the former Somerset captain,
who will score slower than Boycott, but apparently the Gloucester youngster is
his nephew, Will, and it’s his debut. Looking at some pictures I see he has the
Tavare trade mark moustache!
Back to Somerset, looks like taking wickets could be the problem,
or have the ground curators produced an absolute belter for a change, well the
next few days we’ll find out. But can anyone tell me why Peter Trego is not
playing, just hope he is injured not dropped.
Ok, that’s enough from me, not much to say you’ll be
relieved to read, cricket to watch, cider to drink!!!!!!
