The match notes from my link are also a sign of a bygone era:Nesty wrote:what is also interesting was that in those days matches were played until a result was attained.
Also interesting is the number of overs per hour they achieved back then.
L Miller retired not out on 200* (Miller was given leave of absence when he reached 200, consented by Essendon's captain Ramsay, to catch a train to Sydney with Miller and Bullivant to represent Melbourne University in an inter-varsity match against Sydney University.
Every member of the team bowled.
Four consecutive maidens were bowled with the score on 999

It was also well spread out over 2 and a half weeks as the game was played on 5th, 12th, 19th and 23rd March.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:The match notes from my link are also a sign of a bygone era:Nesty wrote:what is also interesting was that in those days matches were played until a result was attained.

With a title with the word 'cricket' in the title, it seems a bizarre choice to view the thread if you had no interest.
It's the pure technicalities of the game that I find fascinating - it's far and away a more technical sport than football. The sheer variation of bowling techniques alone, is remarkable. And how in many other sports is the toss of the coin at the start of the game so crucial? Knowledge of the weather conditions for the next five days, the condition of the pitch and the amount of 'green' on it plus it's past history of whether the crease is likely to flatten out as the game goes on or break up, meaning the bounce will become more and more uneven - all these things have to be calculated and catered for by the captain in case he correctly calls the fall of the coin and gets the option to bat or bowl first.
The one-day game takes a lot of the technicalities away from this and the 20-20 version removes it still further so as to make the game far less appealing to me than a proper 5-day test match. Boring? Yes, sometimes it is. Sometimes the pitch is so flat, it takes a serious error for the batsman to get himself out and nobody really wants to see a team ending the day on 250-0 with no hope of anything other than a draw being the final result. But the 'boring' tag can equally be applied to football: the "nil-nil bore-draw" is not a cricketing term, after all!

Heard that Essex score on the radio on Friday whilst stuck on the M6, they said there were 2 lower scores in English first class history. I see there's one of them posted above, but there was an 1897 (or somewhere close) one as well.

Surrey were all out for 14, I think in 1990, or around that time.
Northants were all out for 12 v Glos, which is the lowest first class score ever.
In Nesty's link above of Warwicks v Hampshire, one of the Hampshire players, AS (Alec) Kennedy is a distant relative of mine, he is my Mum's cousin's grandfather, and was once a pub landlord in Cheltenham.

Close Mark - 1983. Of the ones below, the guy on the radio mentioned the Oxford Uni (1877) and the Notts (1901) or Northants (1907) scores, but not Surrey, MCC, Northants second or Hampshire as being lower scores than Essex's 20 in the English game. If anyone can tell me why, or if the guy was just getting his facts wrong, there's a shiny penny in it for them.

Got my tickets for the Ashes, can't quite believe how much the tickets have increased in price. I remember going a few years ago at Edgebaston and it was around £25.
Tickets for Trent Bridge on the opening week - Edgebaston not being used this year, £70!!!
Still, will be a good day out :p

£80 for my ashes tickets - with a queue for the bar longer than Hancox.
