Title: CB40 Finals Day
Post by: Buzz on September 14, 2011, 08:57:09 AM: Morning all - FYI there are still loads of tickets available for the game at Lords on Saturday if any of you fancy going to the home of cricket.

Tickets can be picked up at http://tickets.lords.org/acatalog/CB40.html £5 for under 16s, £40 for most decent tickets and the top tickets are £50.

Surrey vs Zummerzet should be a really good game
(Come on the REYYY!!)

Post by: tim2000s on September 14, 2011, 10:39:37 AM: Is Trescothick fit and well and able to take an MMi out to try and hit the ball over the pavilion?

And more to the point, would the opposition, knowing that he has the opportunity to do this, try and stop him, or bowl him a couple deliberately, basing it on the idea that if he fails he'll probably get out?

Seriously, Surrey have 5 spin options? And not that many pace bowlers!
Either very clever or taking a gamble!!

Its a tactic that seems to have worked so far really, i think we can get away with so many spinners as most of our team can bat and bowl. Dernbach Maynard and Roy are the only players who only perform one duty. Even with 5 spinners we still have 3 seamers so a very versatile side and if the spin doesnt work as well as hoped hamilton-brown could bowl his medioum-pace instead and we would just about have 4 seamers!

EDIT: There we go, tresco gone, spriegels done his job 1 wicket and under 6 an over atm.

Title: Re: CB40 Finals Day
Post by: petehosk on September 17, 2011, 11:28:56 AM: Surrey aren't doing any special bowling! Somerset just look as if they are doing their absolute best to get themselves out!!! Surrey should just continue to bowl quite tightly and I reckon Somerset will help them out! ;)

Title: Re: CB40 Finals Day
Post by: Liam-SCCC on September 17, 2011, 01:35:36 PM: That's cheap, saved £25 on the pads and £10 on the gloves!

Langer, I bought the other set of glove separately!

Back on topic: Somerset need early wickets!

Post by: Liam-SCCC on September 17, 2011, 05:13:16 PM: I reckon Hildreth should be captain.

Dire performance with the bat from Somerset, just needed someone to stay with Buttler, which Compton should've

Title: Re: CB40 Finals Day
Post by: SempreSami on September 17, 2011, 10:04:53 PM: Maynard was using a Luna, like he has all season, with a black grip.

No, he's cycling around the south west for charity.
