October 16, 201510 yr And other than Jim Laker, who is the only bowler to feature twice on the top ten innings bowling performances for England list? No cheating.

October 16, 201510 yr Lohmann? Not a bad guess, but not the one. My bloke played only two seasons in first class cricket, the rest of the time was selected from clubs or the Minor Counties.

My guess was correct http://stats.espncricinfo.com/england/engine/records/bowling/best_figures_innings.html?class=1;id=1;type=team Looks like there are 3 with 2 in the top 10
October 17, 201510 yr Just heard on the commentary that Bazid Khan, the Pakistani commentator, played in the Bolton League and Association, anyone know who for? A search of wiki etc told me nowt.

Astley & Tyldesley, according to the Bolton DCA site.
October 17, 201510 yr Astley & Tyldesley, according to the Bolton DCA site. Cheers Malc. Any idea who in played for in the proper league?
October 17, 201510 yr Cheers Malc. Any idea who in played for in the proper league? I don't think he did. Apart from A&T he played for Standish and also Spring View. Not as good as his father (Majid Khan). His grandfather played for India before partition.
October 17, 201510 yr England's 9-10-11 scored 29 off 9.3 overs this morning. Second innings sloggers took 74 off 11 with a target. Time-wasting was less than subtle, but no doubt England would have done similar.
October 19, 201510 yr England's 9-10-11 scored 29 off 9.3 overs this morning. Second innings sloggers took 74 off 11 with a target. Time-wasting was less than subtle, but no doubt England would have done similar. Exactly. Was frustrating to watch, but they were never going to rush. Hopefully gives us the momentum for the rest of the series. A win over there would be huge.
