Lrrr

Yes Gregory!

Incredible from Leask

There's 'run fest' and piss take, they barely look bigger than some boundaries at club level.

Just got back, wow didn't think we'd be in this seeing that score. Why are the boundaries in so far?!

Quality in the field from Hampshire as well.

Don't understand why we didn't try getting a saffer to stick around.

Waiting on Glamorgan

You sure its not more like this?

Don't know what it is, but if they haven't changed from when they were first introduced it will swing like hell when new.

No problems with that

Not test match, but watching England U19's vs India U19's and Rob Key talking a lot of sense, apparently a lot of the surfaces the U19's play on are worn surfaces that have been used for other pro matches, in essence we hand the advantage to India straight away and Key makes the point which English 19 year olds have a game geared for spin bowling, practically none. The pitch is turning a long way after 25 overs and India are ripping through us. Why don't we allow the U19's a pitch that we'd prepare for the senior team if a subcontinent team were touring?

First class average of 36 and a test average of 30, chuck in he's one of England's best bowlers and he has to play. Cook, Hameed, Westley, Root, Bairstow, Stokes, Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson - Then the 11th player is based on what the pitch looks like doing

I'd agree if the other spinners were as good in all formats but they're not as good in T20, didn't a different recent statement say being competitive on all fronts? Watch him go somewhere else and be successful in limited overs cricket.

If Somerset have told Waller he can leave its a bloody shambles, one of the best spin bowlers in domestic T20. Watch as barely any players and none of note come in through the door the winter with Somerset just operating off a reduced wage bill to make more money.

How wasn't that a wide? Just because Hildreth lined up to play a reverse sweep doesn't mean its not a wide, he didn't change to left handed or anything...

Feel bad for Denly, did well to field that whereas it would have been better to concede the boundary. Also disagree with the commentators, Billings was right to have a go given it looks like he'd have been short of his ground, its mid on/mid off's fault for not backing up his attempt.

How far is is that boundary...?!

Turn on and first ball is a wicket...

Sounds like it was his choice to want to leave though as opposed to the club being happy with him going, you'd think if the club were wanting him gone he wouldn't have been named on the T20 team sheet. I honestly think he's had a bust up with Maynard.

Think the leaving with immediate effect hints at more, if it were just for more money it wouldn't matter waiting to leave till the end of the season.

You'd guess that by the request to leave immediately rather than wait till the end of the season.

Shame but shows the players understand how to increase their chances of playing for England, expect the Overton twins to leave before getting a cap too.

118 off 55 and yet England won't bat him above 9 or so...

How much do people think Root would bowl himself though? If he had decent faith in himself as an option would he have thought Dawson a necessity to start with?

At worst I think he'd bat below Bairstow.
