Jimmy ‘Peter Pan’ Anderson taken out of the attack with 7-35.
Still no one like him. Rapid and accurate today.

Pity the weather is shit Wednesday in Southport.

Notts 75-2 still 152 behind come on Lancs.

2. TRIPPIER
Right handed, but bats left. Has no idea how to do that.
(Note: David Gower was right handed.)

And others like Richard Hadlee bowled right arm and batted left-handed.
It's not as uncommon as it appears.

Perhaps he should have been more Jimmy Anderson batting left handed then!

Yep. I write with my left hand, but when I played cricket back in prehistoric times, I batted right handed. Same these days when I'm doing something like using a shovel, that requires two hands.

Me too, but bowled left handed.

Back when I occasionally wandered cricket fields, I batted left and bowled right (well, I say batted, more stood with a piece of willow and hoped to make contact with the ball occasionally).

I assume from all that that humans are just weird.

Get in, Jimmy. #8 of the match.

 

[xgorton]

Notts 4 wickets down 78 behind.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Rain coming though about 2:30pm. Might get a bit of play after 5, if lucky.

This commentator never shuts up, rambling on about rubbish.

If you need confirmation of that, drop in to the match threads next season!

Another insane chase in the Gloucester vs Glamorgan match.

Glamorgan set 593 to win are 571/9 with 5 overs left.

Match ended in a tie. Glamorgan 592 all out off the last ball. Amazing reflex catch from the keeper too.

592 all out! D’oh!

Yeah, Crane maybe should have taken the single earlier in the over. Anyway, exciting end!

 

[jimharri]

Would that have been a record run chase in the CC? Without googling it, I can't imagine there's been too many chases over 500,successful or otherwise.
