How tough is County Cricket?
Jeetan Patel made 120 against Yorkshire the other day.
He faced 155 balls batting at number 10 in a partnership of 233.
In the same game Michael Vaughan made 16 of 51 balls.
Does this make Jeets 7.5 times better than Michael Vaughan.
No.
But it is funny.
Although perhaps not to Michael Vaughan.
Jeets has played 72 first clas innings for Wellington.
His top score for them is 58*.
He has played one for Warwickshire, 120.
His average for Wellington is 18.
For Warwickshire is 120.
It doesn’t mean anything.
But I can’t stop smiling as I type.

It does show up the amount of third grade club pie chuckers in county cricket if Jeets can moose a ton.
Actually what makes it funnier is the bowlers, M Hoggard and A Rashid. The past and future.
fuken knobgoblins, I hate all of you cunts.
Hey Jay,
What’s a knobgoblin?
Ajmal Shahzad will be picked in the Ashes squad. I mean, he’s actually taken the wicket of an antipodean centurian. That’s a big deal in England isn’t it?
The Radish looks like he has the goods. Just needs a few seasons and couple of more A tours before taking on the big boys.
Where’s Robbie Joseph. Has he got serious heat or is he just a 140kph purveyor of pies?
