it's pathetic. As for Stewart remember him (when he was captain) complaining about counties giving Test players "practice" before playing England

England players should go ipl to learn how to play spin bit then the good ol boys network moan
Pitch is a pitchNot sure the IPL is where you learn to play spin, first class cricket in India or Sri Lanka would be where to go if they get a chance.
IPL is hit & giggle for seriously big money (can’t blame them).
Pitch is a pitch
Ipl is well marketed. Ecc should learn from them
What r the competions these days? In my day it was county championship, sunday league,benson and hedges cup and natwest trophy
Yeah but they’re not developing my having a dozen ball slog at spin if England want to compete at test level in the sub continent the lads need to play first class games down there so they can get the practice in.
Still CC which is being played mainly in a bulk start of season and end.
50 over Cup 2 groups 8 games then knock outs which starts next few weeks and again played in a block.
2020 comp taking up peak time over the summer.
And in a few years there will be a City based 8 team 2020 comp like the ‘Big Bash’ & ‘IPL’.
Yorkshire with all there ‘stars’ back 50 all out at Essex!
Pitches are horribly under prepared due to the weather.There have been some terrible early season scores

They're not used to sticky wickets. Someone coming off a few paces nibbling the ball about is causing all sorts of problems.No excuse for some of these scores.
Yorks have 5 or 6 Test batsmen in their side.
These aren't top quality bowlers taking the wickets this season. Seems to medium-fast bowlers who generally bowl a length and occasionally swing it a bit. Shouldn't be such a problem for experienced county players.
need as many as possible if Sidebottom isn't available 2nd inningsEssex 142 all out
Yorkshire 62-0 off 12 2nd inns Bairstow teeing off opening, obviously a juicy wicket and the best form of defence is attack.
Bears into the lead 5 down.
A 120 first inns lead would do nicely after lunch tomorrow!
Stevens aside other low innings scores this year have primarily been against quicks with some movement.They're not used to sticky wickets. Someone coming off a few paces nibbling the ball about is causing all sorts of problems.
nice little win that seeing as basically a key bowler short for the match
What's a good website for county cricket scores and full scorecard?
Must be viewable outside the UK.
jsut what im looking for. thanksNot sure if it works abroad but the ECB website clips every wicket, boundary & match milestone in 15 second video from each game, good to catch up with.
jsut what im looking for. thanks
