Giving a medium pace trundler back to back overs in the power play, is idiocy of the highest order, a good batsman will simply line him up.

The corpse is still twitching.....

Captains' knock from Kimber

Ex-Fox Scott Currie playing his first game this season for Hampshire tonight

Latest episode of Talking Foxes now up previewing tomorrow's Blast match

Massively so, around 9-fold potentially. Last season in Division 1, the top three picked up £600k (Surrey), £300k and £200k respectively. I can't find any other recent figures covering both divisions aside from 2022's - County Championship - total prize-money: £1.5million Winners £580,000 Runners-up £290,000 Third £145,000 The two relegated teams don’t get any prize-money Div 2 Champions and runners-up get £65k and £58k respectively.

Great to hear that we have agreed a loan extension with Somerset to allow Green to return for a further two County Championship matches, covering our home clashes with Glamorgan and Middlesex in June.

I imagine DC Comics would sue our ass off if we tried to

Guy I work with is a Kent fan and they have had rubbish luck with injuries - Jas Singh (ankle), Matt Quinn (hamstring), Joey Evison (side strain), Ekansh Singh (side strain) all out on top of overseas find Keith Dudgeon, who took 7/36 in the first round of games only to be ruled out for the summer with a serious knee injury. Looks like on loan Jake Ball has now joined them on the treatment table.

Don't you start, it's bad enough Radio Leicester's Richard Rae keeps calling Rehan "Patel"

Not going to see Harris come back to haunt us today after being bowled by Green's famous 'ghost' ball.

The Cricketer links are appreciated however as everything is behind a pay wall, can the main points be shared each time for the benefit of others?

I went on the Saturday - great view from the Upper Edrich stand almost behind the bowler's arm and best of all, you're allowed to sling a nice bottle of red in your bag to slake your thirst on a hot day. You might have expected a few more for 3rd versus 1st given the great weather, perhaps the FA Cup final on that afternoon stopped a few from going?

For those who might enjoy a good roll around in the nostalgia ball pen...... https://cricketarchive.com/Middlesex/Scorecards/40/40512.html

Rishi completes the 6 x 6s in an over holy grail in the second T20 game against Staffordshire today!

Here's a sentence I didn't expect to see. Foxes' Chris Wright and Jamie Dunk helped Cumbria CCC beat Beds CCC in Dunstable last Sunday. Jake Tarling was also playing for the hosts. Match Report and Here.

High but think about the quality. It's £33 in advance for Lord's, and they've been utter bobbins for years now!

Nice delivery Rehan, one more step closer to promotion.

Hull hasn't bowled for two and a half hours, about time he was unleashed to clean up the tail

A 300 lead would be great as it almost guarantees a crack with a second new ball, which can make all the difference. No sure the wisdom of Green taking singles off the first ball and exposing Hull to five balls.

As a Strikers fan and depending on your point of view, Conway's a figure of fun; a larger-than-life character from a bygone age - or a complete coat, a limited cricketer who only gets his kicks by winding-up opposition players and fans. This YouTube link shows Conway giving 4 send-offs in one over.

In seriousness, I think we're just helping him and Surrey CCC out with game time, he's currently studying Sport Management at Loughborough University and turned out for their UCCE side earlier this season - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheridon-gumbs-881132325/?originalSubdomain=uk. There's no sign that he's been released by his parent club.

We must have found him through word of mouth

I see left arm quick Michael Finan (remember him?), following his unsuccessful stint with Northants last season, is back taking wickets for Yorkshi*e including their current 2nd XI Roses game against *ancashire. There's no number on his shirt so perhaps either as a trialist of sorts, or a fitness favour.

HS scores this season - albeit 1st and 2nd XI friendlies - suggest he's not in bad nick if Cox is rested v Northants: 33*, 45, 91*, 55 (average 112.0) As suggested, the alternative is to either recall/bring in Kimber or Trevaskis and give Handscomb the gloves. Foxes leading averages 2025 from outside the 1st XI: G.Maddy 75.0*, S.Gumbs 60.0, J.Madan 48.3, M.Minhas 38.5, , L.Trevaskis 28.3, J.Dunk 28.0 (*3 not outs)
