Final thought on Yorkshire game

Do some cricket writers know anything about cricket?

I only ask because the match reports on last night were bizarre even by the standards of the British media.

Only one newspaper mentioned Charl Langeveldt's bowling and I'm still convinced that there can have been few more economical spells in 20/20 anywhere. To add in four wickets on top was a bit special. Maybe the lateness of the hour meant his feats missed the early editions, but even Internet reports carry little mention of his feat.

Bottom marks go to the esteemed national that referred to Derbyshire's win coming on the back of an explosive partnership between their two Kolpaks, Hinds and Smith.

Are they for real? Presumably Charl Langeveldt is now English qualified by some miracle, while poor Greg Smith is destined to languish forever in Kolpak hell.

Memo to national cricket writers - we have TWO Kolpaks, and only two. Wavell is one, Charl is the other. I know its hard work to venture away from the Oval and Lords, but do try to keep up with events. And no, we're not Leicestershire or Northamptonshire, Kolpak Centres of the Western world. Hope I made that clear. I'm sure it won't happen again until the next time you try to explain why little Derbyshire beat a so-called big team.
