I'd like to pay tribute to Mitchell of Worcestershire, one of those unshowy, reliable professionals who has played all his cricket with one county (where he was born). He seldom attracts headlines in the national media, but so far this season, leading as captain from the front, he has scored 521 runs in just four matches.

His highest championship score was at Taunton, too - 298 in 2009.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Frome Exile 06 May, 2014 17:18
So that's worth about 88 anywhere else, right?

Sadly Yes AGod.

I thought I'd posted it on the CC Div 1 thread, but it hardly matters. Defeat in three days for Middlesex.

Derbyhire have revealed that the injuries to keeper Tom Poynton, sustained in a car accident, are worse than first thought and he will be out for the remainder of the season.

They are looking to augment their keeping back-up and I believe that they have come to an arrangement with Gareth Cross, who was released by Lancashire towards the end of last season before they announced the signing of Jos Buttler.

Disappointing for Mitchell to fall three short of his fourth century of the season - but he has now scored 629 runs at 125.80.

Owais Shah has signed for Hampshire for the remainder of the T20 Blast season.

I was at last Fridays game against Glamorgan and they were dreadful. Shah and Maxwell might improve things a bit but missing Dimi and McKenzie. On last Fridays performance Hampshire will be lucky to qualify.

Geraint Jones of Kent reported to be signing on loan for Gloucestershire for 2 months.
Covering for the injured Gareth Roderick.
Jones has not featured at all for Kent this season.

More bad luck for Graeme Smith

[www.bbc.co.uk]

Not a bad replacement though!

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Clarence Parker 22 May, 2014 14:49
And Batty does not immediately take over as Captain!

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Sloop John B 22 May, 2014 14:49
That's a shame for Biff - and Surrey. Great leader.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
cricketjerry-mouse 22 May, 2014 16:37
I wonder if Surrey have seen the last of Graeme Smith.

Sounds a bad injury - and has he the incentive to give it yet another `go` in 2015. Rotten luck though.

Adventurous choice as replacement captain, though - Irish wicket-keeper/batsman Gary Wilson.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
AGod 22 May, 2014 16:45
It's not been a signing that has worked out at all well and I would think that Smith may very well retire from the game now.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Nailsea_Fizz 22 May, 2014 16:50
So he wasn't past it or lacking intensity just playing with a fractured knee - Ouch

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Frome Exile 22 May, 2014 17:14
Playing through the pain for "several weeks", apparently.
A measure of the commitment of one of my all-time favourite cricketers.
Get well soon, Biff.

Gloucestershire have signed former England wicketkeeper Geraint Jones on a one-month loan from Kent as cover for the injured Gareth Roderick. [www.ecb.co.uk]

We got it right here then a little while ago. God we're good.

Who is this bloke Batty then? All seven for Surrey at Chelmsford so far today.

Oh, for the love of all things holy!

Forget it, Gareth.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS

In this morning's cricinfo poll on the subject, a worrying 7% of voters agree with Batty's thoughts on the England spinner role.

Re: 2014 OTHER COUNTY NEWS
Wickham 26 May, 2014 12:05
Most may be Batty or batty or both.
