Indeed. Gloucestershire's total is apparently a record for a T20 match
in the UK and (IIRC) only 3 runs short of the world record set in Sri
Lanka.

Interesting situation with Marshall, in which he has now qualified to play
for Ireland but is not doing so because he became England-qualified at the
same time and whilst he remains England-qualified, Gloucestershire get
incentive payments from the ECB.

Also interesting to note a county side being captained by a 20-year-old.

I think Marshall can play if CI stomp up for the compensation.
He has played for Ireland unoffically against Pune in the wc warm up.

Interesting to note!! We should have been looking forward to Ireland
(less the county guys) playing a free to enter four day icc cup game
against Namibia at Stormont.
Alas the Namibians cannot get visas, and the game is off. They might
get visas in time for the ODI games,,,, great.
Check it out Namibians don't need a visa to travel to the UK. What's
the craic with this?

I reckon Stirling will be a bigger hitter when his tail grows.

perhaps England should select him as they did Andrew Symonds.

you answer my question, how can gloucs field 4 foreigners,
Williamson, Marshall, Murali & O'Brien? But surely this
ECB scheme was to encourage the counties to develop home grown
young players not aging internationals to fill up the county sides in
endless spurious ways (although i don't oblject to O'Brien
good on him).

O'Briens 100 must have been one of the fastest in terms of
balls and minutes.

seems very unfair, especially as we allow banned racists to walk
in unchallenged to the UK. however they could probably bribe someone
at their local consulate to issue the visas, or failing that,
could they not fit themselves into the back of a
lorry? from what i understand it quite easy to cross the
border from UK to Eire.
