So Yorkshire bottled that!


180 needed off 20overs with ten wickets in hand. And shake hands for a draw.


Why not atleast have a go? Shut up shop after five if a few wickets fall. Very disappointed.

COME ON THE REY! Not surprised this run of form has happened the moment Sam Curran's finished school and walked in. What a player.

[Sam]

His fourth championship ton of the season. A double would be good publicity for him. Good stats - is he qualified to play for England?

David

Yes as far as im aware he qualified sometime this year to play for England.

Fairly sure his debut season with Durham in 2012 was the first time he lived here regularly meaning he won't qualify until 2019?

Assuming your on about Jennings, he qualified as soon as a week before the season started.

You sure, wouldn't have thought South Africa would have picked someone who was spending the majority of the year living in England as their u19 captain. Odd if he is.

Yes a few of us mentioning him in the end v Pakistan thread as a possible opener.twin tons against the champions is some achievement. Don't think he has played lions cricket yet but all England age groups up to 19's.
The lad has serious talent and so so good to see someone coming thru the system without a prevelidged education.

A bit radical but if I was a selector I would take him to India and dump hales. Or maybe as a reserve opener. But I don't think k that will happen.

It's been a long time since England threw in a youngster and backed potential.so long I can't remember who.
Probably Ian bell or joe root have been the youngest in recent times.

The last time we sent an opener under 20 to debut in India it turned out alright.

Not quite the week before the season but not long before he qualified

Just double checked the regulations and I'm fairly sure they haven't got that right as you can't serve your qualification period whilst playing u19 cricket for another country so he'd have to live here for 7 years after that. The way in which Jennings talks in the interview seems to suggest he thinks he's qualified though. Odd.

I mean there's no way that's a catch, I wouldn't expect anything less from Giles/Croft they're gonna back their player but there's no way in a thousand Sunday's that that's a clean catch

Said it before and will say it again; Sam Curran is a seriously excellent talent with both bat and ball. Gutted he didn't get his maiden ton this morning but for 18 years old he's a very smart player.
