Derbyshire vs Essex abandoned due to a Covid outbreak.

I think that's Essex out of the running for Div 1, isn't it? Such a shame.*

The first of many abandonments. Good job there's a massive gap coming up where no championship cricket will be played eh....the 100 is gunna be decimated

Surprised they only do lateral flow tests. Those tests have too high a false positive rate to cancel a game off, for my money. Suspect they wouldn't do that in the upcoming comp!
Hundred fantasy competitions open btw- Royal London one day cup to follow very shortly.

No offence, because I love the fantasy cricket....but the 100 fantasy will not be entertained.....I mean god knows how you're going to come up with a scoring algorithm for bowling points in particular!

Sure plenty won't play it and that's fine, we're offering the One Day Cup too for people who want to play that to prove a point.
It's just using T20 scoring for the time being, and we'll probably see how it goes from there.

I do think it's good that the DUSC fantasy comp is a double-header though.

If there's an end of season award for shittest call at the toss, I think Steven Patterson is absolutely nailed on to win it, chose to bowl.....411/2 after 120 overs. Embarrassing.

Match now abandoned. What exactly is wrong with Headingley?

Ashwin 1-99 Leach 6-43
Obviously counting chickens to post this before Somerset's second innings, but all hail the Taunton Vettori.

Does anyone know why Somerset haven't enforced the follow on? Seems pretty strange on the 4th day with it turning all over the shop

Seems pretty strange on the 4th day with it turning all over the shop We bowled 119 overs in the first innings, are missing our three first choice seamers and Leach bowled tons in the first innings after 10 days in self-isolation. We also don't need the result in any way, and batting practice was probably more helpful. Not that that's gone well. Still, if Surrey chase 255+ on this then they can have Division One, frankly. It's doing absolute all sorts, and doing it quickly.

Another cancellation before Durham vs Surrey.
With all these signings I'd have thought Surrey have easily enough players to fulfil the fixture despite a few isolating... maybe they just didn't fancy the long drive
