Unbelievably, at a delayed tea because there was only one wicket to go, we are 271-9 (from 118-7) and an undefeated partnership of 75 between Evison (76 off 105) with Hogan (39 off 45)
I've decided I don't care about Worcestershire any more. What connection do I have except that my dad grew up in Droitwich? Bunch of useless tossers, no affinity, never seen a match at New Road, whatever

But honestly, look at any Worcestershire scorecard from recent years, it's a war crime. Getting eviscerated by Leics today, whoopee
Hogan caught behind for 43 (48) off Lawes and we are 278 all out. A great effort from Evison for 77* (106) and a last wicket partnership between the two of 82

I thought, what is @Leuth going on about?, you were about to bowl Leics out the last time I scrolled down to Div 2 scores
The only question in my mind, is were batting conditions genuinely harder in the morning, or was it just bad batting and good bowling? It certainly seems pretty easy now
Arafat has his first wicket in First Class cricket. And none other than the England number 3. Self infliction from Pope though as he charges Arafat and flicks it straight to Stewart at mid wicket. Pope only averages at the Oval 97 now!
Anyone recall when Joe Denly had a row on Twitter a few years ago in saying that there was no one playing in the Kent League who was worthy of playing in the Kent first team. Times have changed and there is a certain irony.
What the presence of Arafat and others that are now playing as a result of the South Asian Cricket Academy proves is what I have been saying for years and that is that the ridiculously high percentage of private school boys that get selected for county age group and then England pathways has always been rancid. The argument thrown out, very often, is that a lot of these boys get spotted and then get scholarships. But what about all those that don't get spotted because they don't play cricket at school and don't play for the "right" clubs?
