Dockrell batting at 7 for Ireland

And yet Giles has said he was only de-selected because the report became public, so it implies his team mates didn't know anything. Should help the levels of trust in the squad generally.....

You couldn't keep Hales in the England squad, essentially it would be the ECB condoning recreational drug use when the England players are role models for so many kids. BBC reporting apparently it happened last year, but Hales was given assurances that his compliance would not cost him his world cup place. the ECB "insisted on Alex taking certain rehabilitation measures following his suspension" and that, "at every stage, Alex fulfilled his obligations and both he and his representatives were given assurances that any suspension - again under the ECB's guidelines - could not affect his selection for the World Cup"

Weather looks alright down Hove way, hopefully can come back with the win. Think if this wasn't a world cup year Lewis would be getting a look in at the ODI side, been pretty consistent doing well for the last season or 2 and a good start this season.

Not even the closest margin of victory, Lancs won by 1 run ?

Get in!!!

Letting the 9, 10 and 11 score at least one a ball is just so poor.

Can only think they wanted to try getting people to games on easter weekend

Saw the clip they showed at the toss a used pitch already, just why....

?

Perhaps, not a big fan of watching sport when its not live, pretty much only do it with City so may just have to turn it on whatever point its at.

Guess who booked a ticket to go watch the new Avengers film at 13:00 ?

And still couldn't win Plus the other guy is the one who hit a ton in the 10 over pre season game. Plunkett looking over his shoulder perhaps, really the only poor performer from the WC squad today, but Archer playing T20 instead of 50 over can't be helping his cause atm. Big up the 100 ?

Biggest winning margin between 2 first class teams

Careful, commentators will go back to calling Taunton a road soon

Banton maiden 50

No mention for us in Rob Key's preview of the one day cup... shock https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/31673/11688789/one-day-cup-rob-key-picks-the-teams-and-players-to-watch-in-2019?fbclid=IwAR3zmRsmUh3xyrBqMbn7R3Da-lMD9Ei3_9GsPEVO24gZccKDSpA4hjhWMQU

Easier to pick him after doing well then having named him originally if he then doesn't stand out in the ODI's

When they say preliminary squad can they just swap one out and pick him if he does well in the Pakistan ODI's or does it have to be an injury which means someone can swap in?

So Smith/Warner's first world cup game could be at Bristol...

Don't think it's about be useful for us really, we'd retain Davis or whoever as keeper and Jos' wages would get paid by England, he only moved away to cement his place which he has done. He'd then play the odd limited overs game.

Article says its because he wants to be back down this way in general, still good friends with most the somerset players etc

Espn reporter saying Jos could be moving back to Somerset

But Jack Leach can't take wickets away from Taunton
