Glamorgan (or Welsh breeze or whatever their franchise name is called) 97 all out Durham then follow up with 503-8 dec. What's odd about that you might say? Well not one of their batsmen scored less than 20 or more than 81. 5 50+ and another two in the 40s. Glamorgan now in real trouble though. 4 wickets left to bat out 1 and a bit days.
GregP Sep 2021 10:36am, 8 Sep 2021 129,181 posts	0 GregP 2022 schedule has left me slightly baffled. What happened to the Summer 'tour' to Holland? Weren't we supposed to be playing three ODIs over there? I seem to recall one of the tour operators trying to flog me a package trip?
Dibble Sep 2021 10:56am, 8 Sep 2021 824 posts	0 Dibble The Holland visit was postponed from 2021 to June 2022. I thought it would be a great place to visit. Looking at the fixtures announced today, in theory a white ball squad could fulfil those fixures while the NZ tests take place in England?

The development comes on the back of intense discussions between the BCCI and the ECB after India's assistant physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar returned a positive Covid-19 test on Thursday.

Debutant pace bowler, Trialist, bowled 10 over, 8 maidens and has 3 wickets for the loss of one single boundary. Said boundary was a straightforward catch that was missed by the 16 year old wicketkeeper
Bazoaxe Sep 2021 8:56am, 10 Sep 2021 20,829 posts	0 Bazoaxe England's fifth Test against India at Old Trafford has been cancelled after a number of the tourists' backroom staff tested positive for Covid-19. India were unable to field a team because they fear further cases spreading through their squad. India have forfeited the match, meaning the series is drawn 2-2. A statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board said: "We send our sincere apologies to fans and partners for this news."
