Given he is foreign too it would be an incredibly thick comment to make. You are exactly right its clumsy but harmless and we shouldnt immediately look fo rthe race issue in every comment. 1 thing i always think is the the standard of umpiring in this country is abysmal and its not overly surprising things boil over out there. Yes, incredibly stupid, especially as Karachi has a population of 18m and Lahore around 9m. Thats exactly why the comment has been taken out of context. Which from what i gather, it wasnt by the player just the umpires.

If a ball isn’t bowled at Derby, would Pujara have served his one match suspension?

No comment from the management on the fall-out from the Leicestershire game….but we are being asked to vote for Players of the Season and other awards. Hard to summon the enthusiasm - not too many candidates in this most disappointing of seasons which promised much but has ultimately seen similar under-performance as the last few seasons. Enough is enough surely….I agree with those calling for a change of direction.

Think FHP has to be my player of the season and Ravi my white ball player of the season. Champagne moment award must go to Brad Curries catch in the T20 v Hants.

This thread is doing rather well considering there hasn’t been a ball bowled in the game yet … hopefully we’ll see some actual cricket today.

Orr, Clark, Alsop (c), Coles, Ibrahim, Ward, Carter (wkt), Hudson-Prentice, Crocombe, Unadkat, Hunt.

Yeah quite a lot to debate, the board has been so much better since the dilution of rubbish. No immediate word of a 1 innings shootout but i guess it would be their 1st innings surrendered and our 2nd innings if there was to be. Shame for Foreman, not seeing what we gain by not playing him but thats down to Farbs.

It’s a batting heavy lineup which suggests to me they don’t anticipate any prospect of a win.

Really disappointing to see Brad Currie miss out again. Farbrace clearly doesn't rate him. I thought he was really good last year, particularly in the One Day Cup, although I accept he has dropped off a bit this season.
If my understanding is correct and he is out of contract at the end of the season, then I can't see any other outcome than him being released.
Surely, given there is nothing to play for in this fixture, it would have been worth giving him a run out to at least give him one last chance to recapture last year's form. I am convinced he is a better option than Hunt and more to the point I am struggling to understand what Crocombe has done to warrant his continued selection.
Finally, anyone noticed Mr Baldwin who umpired our indiscipline in the Leicestershire game is also officiating this match.

This is horrible from a fans perspective, theyve signed off and it's difficult not for me to care.
I've been assured Farbs knows what needs to change and the biggest fear i have now if he doesnt get it will he quit?

I think this has all come from the poor management of Salisbury & Kirtley. They gave these 'boys' too much rope, overrated them etc, etc.. The players thought they could get away with things. Dress codes for players on match days disappeared, mingling with sponsors (I've seen it) they kept themselves to themselves. Gone are the days of Adams, Yardy, Goodwin etc ambassadors for the club. IMO this present group are immature.
As for player of the year, who? F H-P? Buy him a comb or give him a hair cut. Old fashioned but, not a good advert for SCCC.
Farbrace, harder job than he imagined?
