A gradual but inevitable descent into cricket-based loathing and bile.

Leicestershire vs. Somerset
The domestic T20 final (how reassuring, yet surprising, that it’s not nauseatingly billed as the grand final) featured the pre-season favourites Somerset (9-2) and the pre-season long shots Leicestershire (40-1). After the rain-influenced dramas of the two semi-finals, the organisers and the spectators would have been pleased that the rain had blown away to allow […]
Hampshire vs. Somerset: Match Tied.
The second semi-final was also affected by heavy showers. Batting first, the Hampshire innings was dominated by Shahid Afridi, who hit five 6s in his 80. The rain reduced the innings to 15.5 overs, which was enough time for them to amass 138/4. But more rain fell between innings, meaning the Duckworth Lewis calculations were […]
Leicestershire vs. Lancashire: Match Tied
The first semi-final contained a decent amount of drama and plenty of excitement. Showers affected the Leicestershire innings, which was eventually reduced to 18 overs. Glen Chapple took a wicket from the first ball, but then Will Jefferson scored a useful 23. Lancashire’s spinners took control and never allowed the Leicestershire middle order to settle. […]
It’s Saturday 27th August; it’s live; it’s T20 Finals’ Day!
At Edgbaston today, Lancashire take on Leicestershire in the first semi-final, followed by Somerset versus Hampshire in a repeat of last year’s final. The two victorious sides will then play in the final. Estimated finish time: late. We’ll be updating the scores throughout the day on twitter @51allout and so long as we haven’t overdosed […]
T20: Stars Of The Season
Last night finally saw the annual T20 group stage marathon reach its conclusion. We wanted to have a look at some of the best performers over the domestic season. And also make a cheap joke about Steve Smith.
The future is bright
As our Australian friends have kindly proven to us over the past year, it doesn’t matter how good a side you are, a failure to properly prepare for the future will leave you in a heap of trouble. 51allout has taken a look at six of the best young stars of the County circuit who […]
England vs Sri Lanka, only T20I, The County Ground: Player Reviews
England 136/9 (Morgan 47, Pietersen 41, Malinga 2-15) Sri Lanka 137/1 (M Jayawardene 72*, Sangakkara 43*, Dernbach 1-18) England: Craig Kieswetter: Made a lot of noises pre-match about how hard he’d worked on his game and that big improvements had been made. Keeping wise, there was evidence of this with much tidier glovework on show […]
Sussex v Somerset
Under the Hove floodlights last night, Sussex defeated Somerset by 4 wickets. The margin of victory doesn’t do justice to Sussex’s performance, even the 15 balls remaining suggests that the match was closer than it was. Although Wayne Parnell seemed to pull a hamstring in his first and only over, he was not missed as […]
T20 a welcome return for Hampshire who rediscover winning formula
Hampshire might just have got their season back on track last night with an ultimately comfortable win over Somerset in a re-run of last season’s T20 final. The oft-maligned and oft-injured Dimi Mascarenhas (3-19) was the key man with the ball as he ripped through Somerset’s top order, removing Marcus Trescothick, Roelof van der Merwe […]
