Our two best bowlers over the course of the last few seasons have really struggled more than most - Stevens has figures in the CC of 89-18-274-2 and Milnes are 121-19-445-4. That's 6-719 combined. Even the returns of our best bowler, Gilchrist, wouldn't make him a certainty to get in the team last season but with 131-15-548-14 he is King in the Land of the Blind!
terrible figures! how much of it has it been pitches being flat though? I can’t work out if we really are as bad as the figures suggests or we have been playing on the m25. Not entirely sure what we can do or who is to blame for this !
Curran and Overton not hanging about and make sure we get the extra batting point. Still Plenty of batting to come with CDG owing Surrey a decent innings and Jordan Clark having already hit a ton this season.
Every div 1 game has got massive first innings scores, all hail the ECB for improving batting techniques so quickly
4 div 1 games currently in progress. In 3 of them the team batting first has gone past 500. In the other game Lancashire are currently 461-4
Good for confidence of the batting talent in this country I suppose but it's a shame to see that the criticism of pitcches was taken so strongly. There must be a better balance to be had here.
A new record was established last winter, in the Super League stages of India's Ranji Trophy, when Madhya Pradesh made 605 against Haryana at Rajnandgaon. The highest individual score was Jai Prakash Yadav's 90. The record had stood since 1899, when Nottinghamshire totalled 581 against Derbyshire at Derby. The highest score then was also 90 - by William Gunn.

Foakes. Overton.
All out in the 90s
Doesn't happen very often that three batsmen make 90 and none go on to make a ton.
Milnes - 98
Stevens - 94
Quinn - 99
Gilchrist - 99
Linde - 97
Linde first past the post on 103 but Milnes is now on 101
He reads this thread you know.
But 635 for 9 ain't bad

Unless Kent completely fold it would take about 6 or 7 days to get a result.
