Warne's frustration

Andrew McGlashan

25-Feb-2013

Shane Warne got so frustrated at Hampshire's inability to take any Kent wickets on the final day of their Championship match at Canterbury that he told Nic Pothas, the wicketkeeper, to bowl with his pads on. Pothas did so for two overs, before removing his keeping equipment, during a six-over spell. Warne used 10 bowlers as David Fulton and Robert Key both struck unbeaten centuries and it would have been 11 if Chris Tremlett hadn't been off the field. At one point Warne left the field and was seen having a cigarette on the balcony. It was one of those days.

David Fulton has hinted that this might be his last season with Kent. After scoring a century in the draw against Hampshire during Canterbury Cricket Week he told BBC Radio Kent: "This could well be my last cricket week. It might well be the case, no further comment on that, but if it is my last it's a good one to go out on."

Schofield still looking for a way back

Chris Schofield, the former England and Lancashire legspinner, is playing for Surrey in their 2nd XI match against Durham at Guildford. He was released by Lancashire at the end of 2004 and since then has been playing for Suffolk in the Minor Counties Championship, as well as turning out for Durham and Surrey second teams.

"It's a bit of a reality check and frustrating because I've played at a very high level but I'm just relieved that counties are still giving me the opportunity to get a contract," Schofield, who is now 27, told the BBC. "The last two years I've been bowling a hell of a lot of overs, 30 to 40 a week - the last two years at Lancashire I bowled 50 to 100 overs a season.

"The first step at the moment is to try to get a county contract, bowl the way I have been doing the last couple of months and take it from there."

Creeping statistics

Maybe expecting Test cricket at the Rose Bowl by 2009 was asking too much when cows, not cricketers, were enjoying it little more than seven years ago

Maybe expecting Test cricket at the Rose Bowl by 2009 was asking too much when cows, not cricketers, were enjoying it little more than seven years ago. But its much-criticised playing surface is improving, if statistics are a reliable guide. Over the first five torrid summers at the Rose Bowl only two Hampshire players attained the modest target of 1,000 runs: Simon Katich (1,143 in 2003) and John Crawley (1,246 in 2005). Though runs are still not flowing, by the mid-point in the Championship as many as five look on course for 1,000 this year. Crawley had 748 and four others

David Fulton has taken special delight in the effervescent all-round contributions of Darren Stevens, who had bowled more first-class overs by the end of June than in eight summers at Grace Road.

Stuart Law has been granted a testimonial by Lancashire for 2007. The 37-year-old joined Lancashire in 2002 after a prolific six years spell with Essex and, while at Old Trafford, has underlined his reputation as one of the most consistent batsmen in county cricket.

He has scored over 5300 runs for Lancashire in 68 first-class matches with 18 centuries and is the club

Cheltenham's annual ritual of colour and conviviality

David Hopps in The Guardian takes a look at the long-established Cheltenham cricket festival, which has seen some remarkable matches in its long history.

David Hopps in The Guardian takes a look at the long-established Cheltenham cricket festival, which has seen some remarkable matches in its long history.

But, as Hopps points out, it's no longer the domain of colonels and clergymen as it once was:

"Those long flowery dresses of officers' wives have given way to bare midriffs of nubile wine-bar girls not long out of one of the local young ladies' colleges. In early evening, too, throaty male decibels increase - belonging more to Kingsholm than this ground's Gothic chapel."
