Insane. Notts should be relegated for their treachery!

Although the opportunity to abuse Notts is always nice!

Still, looking at this, I won't be complaining if he's opening up for Aus at TB come Ashes time.

Post by: Manormanic on December 20, 2012, 01:44:32 PM: True. I don't think we're over whelmed by the Aussie top four to be fair. Still would rather see Notts playing a straight bat for once....

...nah, there was never any chance of that!

Post by: The_Bird on December 20, 2012, 04:19:02 PM: Wouldn't ever happen in Aus, I think it helps that when the english county games are on no one else is really playing any other international standard cricket bar the IPL.
