anyone go to many games each season?

going to my first game of the season the weekend after this...

magoffin got 12 wickets for 31 runs over two innings v somerset including 20/8! pretty ridic :)

I go to the majority of Warwickshire games (although as I type this I'm watching them on the TV instead).  Not a great start to the season although we've had to play pretty much every game with 6 or 7 first XI players missing because of injury or international call ups.  If we can stick within 30 points of the leaders with 5 or 6 games to go (by then we should have a few key players back) then we've definitely got a chance.  I hope so anyway because our 1 day cricket is pretty ordinary, not expecting much in the CB40 or T20.

Middlesex look great and Yorkshire & Sussex have done really well to be where they are.  I stand by my pre-season assessment of Durham, even though they'll go top if the beat Middlesex!  I saw them play Warwickshire near the start of the season and they were thrashed by our B team.  No idea what is going on at Somerset, they look pretty ordinary this year.

Used to me a member of Notts when I lived in west bridgford and go a fair bit. Not been for a while now, should maybe make an effort sometimes  :)

Surrey member and work at some games around the country too

Surrey a very unbalanced side, poor batting side and not many players in their prime

Things will look up when Adams goes and we trust in our very good acadamy a bit more


Lad is a big Northants fan so I watch them quite a bit too. Clutching some betting vouchers tightly for LVCC Div 2 at the moment!

why do you follow/support surrey and leicester as a football team??

glad we took RHB back off you :P unbelievable how he has gone surrey-sussex-surrey-sussex

I first went to see Leicester as a 7 year old.

Family moved to London when I was 10 and my Grandparents were Surrey members and got me a Junior Membership

Until I was old enough to get myself back to leicester my sport was Rugby in the winter and Cricket in the summer hols at the Oval

RHB is a great natural talent. After the disaster of last year with his captaincy and Tom Maynard, he had to leave.

Nice, well good luck for the season!

Edgbaston holding the 20-20 final, so hopefully make a trip up there this season gherkin :)

Excellent, I'll be there, although the chances I'll be watching Warwickshire are slim to nil!

Just got back from a very cold Edgbaston where Notts beat Warks. Didn't know how much it would be, couldn't believe it was £20. Pretty sure if it was a £10 they couldve doubled the amount of ppl in the ground it was pretty much empty. Go to Notts quite a bit and sometimes Leicester as I played in their junior set-up as a young lad. Current brag is that I got 50 last year against the lad who's getting all Leicestershire's wickets this season, Ollie Freckingham.

Notts looking strong on paper with a team almost full of internationals, Hales is a bit out of form, but Lumb looked absolutely quality tonight, class apart from everyone else, timing the arse off it! Warks look  bit fragile atm.

hi tighty, my nephew plays for northants rob newton and  before the season started he said he really fancied there chances this year i was going to post my 1st tip on tips for tikay thread but you had beat me to it sigh im going down to watch him in august hopefully the league will be wrapped up by then 20-1 cmon

Sussex man myself too, though only tend to go to the t20 and 1 day stuff. Never been a Rory fan, he thinks he's way better than he is.
Think Sussex will be right up there this season, certainly not 6th like some suggested. Sussex dont get interrupted by call ups fortunately.
Most underrated is Nash, gets wickets whenever a breakthrough is needed.

I'm thinking of wandering along to Middlesex v Sussex at Lords on Thursday - £16 to spend a day in the sunshine quenching my thirst at HQ seems like an idea.

So, obv, if anyone else wants to wander down we can meet up.

Did you go?

I'm going to Hove on the 28th for T20

Nah - doing tomorrow now (provided I can get my arse in gear).

lols, you didn't get to see the Prior incident then.

Sussex getting smashed in this

Unbeaten record coming to an end..

Hi.

I'm a Derby and Nott's fan and I used to go to both the county ground and Trent bridge quite regularly until family commitments took over.  Very pleased that Derbyshire won promotion last year. Very much an unfashionable county with limited resources.  Staying up in Div 1 will be as much of an achievement as getting there last year.  Nott's have enjoyed some good success and I expect them to lift some silverware this season providing they keep there bowlers fit.  I also play locally and have played with and against some first class players including John Birch who used to play for Nott's a few years back now. I know this is off the subject but we are looking for players again this year so if you fancy donning some whites let me know :)

Wrighty wasn't happy at that prospect so stuck around to ensure the draw!!!

Going to watch lashings on Friday

Got an offer on to go watch Notts v sussex for £1 in a T40 game next friday. Have just messaged a couple of mates so see if they are up for it (they not fussed about cricket but might come for the ale and a night in Notts). If anyone wants to go an meet for a beer let me know, I'll come and meet you for a few even if my mates can't  :)

Middlesex how they at top?

Yorkshire currently smashing them, 1 1/3 day left to rattle off 10 wickets for win pls!

Yorkshire won the toss on a good pitch in nice conditions

Got a score they should have got

By the time Middlesex bat the light is bad, the rain comes and goes and the ball is swinging in overcast conditions

Not rocket science, and not indicative of a bad side, any more than Yorkshire were a bad side when they got stuffed in a game early on

Both are decent sides

Just that bit of luck a side needs with weather and the toss which evens up over the course of a season

Aye that's what I thought. Yorkshire got hammered first game of the season and pretty much should have won virtually every game since. Not too bad considering that England have rooooooot :)

When I saw Middlesex last week they looked to lack edge - totally let Sussex off the hook in a game they should have won.

well it was easy in the end 10 wicket victory, top by 17 for now at least..promising start.

Lol Essex 20 all out

M Trescothick
M Pettini
V Solanki
A Hales

D smith
S Patel
P mustard

G Andrew
J fuller
C tremlett
L plunkett

rate my t20 fantasy team :)

Hales is woefully out of form and assume he is high price in fantasy, Pettini is crap

Tremlett won't play T20 much, save him for LVCC. Solanki, meh in T20 these days

Andrew, Mustard, Plunkett likely to be good value for money

Good luck.

Thanks.

Hales is indeed out of form but dirt cheap!

Tremlett only in as its a small budget. Anyone else playing? Telegraph site, £10 for four teams.

Good to see KP in the runs. Not that we need much help in the ashes. But would be nice to have him in the runs!

Yorkshire looking to go top. 617-5 dec. Derby 67-5 in reply. Finish them!

easy win for Yorkshire to go back to the top and 10 points clear :)

Another easy wins for Yorkshire over Notts (well they need 9 runs in the second inns), can this be our season! Not many games left, 2 more wins I am guessing for the title. Weather changing means less and less full 4 days being played.

Should be Yorkshires. Durham would have to win both games in hand just to get close.
As you say, weather gonna play a part on who wins

Durham easy win so today's showdown Vs Yorkshire at S'boro might be for the title.

Durham wins toss and bats..

5-2......good start for the Yorkie's.

Well done Durham, very well timed victory over Yorkshire to be now favorites for the title.
