Got a feeling Hildreth will retire end of this season, he's been in gradual decline.
Few others likely to move on too I think - Brooks, Waller, MDL. So maybe quite an overhaul this winter.
He is and has been planning for a couple years, he has a job lined up.

2 great catches last night, haven't seen any footage of the G**s catch, it was the other side of the ground from me, this was just to left of me last night and was special

And Rest in Peace also the 649 Argentinians who lost their lives so needlessly, too.
I've visited both memorials, in Stanley and Buenos Aires and travelled extensively through Argentina 25-30yrs ago, every single Argentine i met then agreed we did the right thing and said the Junta was wrong. I never met one person who thought they were in the right and we were in the wrong.
Fast forward to the past 10yrs children in schools are being indoctrinated, you wouldn't believe the 5hit they put on social media, they are absolutely convinced they sunk HMS Invincible and we secretly sailed a replacement south and pretended it never happened.
Unfortunately my respect for them went out the window several years ago.

,,,1982, the rg's went home with their tail between their legs and to this day they still bleat about their 'holy motherland' Idiots
RIP to the 255 servicemen and 3 civilian women that lost their lives.

No weekend cricket at Somerset until at the earliest April next year. Shocking.

Sounds a bit naughty to me. Surely retiring should only be for a genuine injury.
23 minutes ago, Northern Red said:I've seen teams do it in friendly/warmup type matches when the batsman has already got a big score and they want to give others a go, but yeah in a competitive game like that it isn't the done thing.
Ashwin did it in the IPL this year which caused a bit of fuss, and Brathwaite was quoted afterwards as saying it was something he thought teams should look to exploit more.
It's within the laws/regulations for the T20, but is it within the spirit of the game?
A lot of junior age cricket players retire at 30 or 50 and can only take 3 or 5 wickets and they have to stop bowling
-
2 batters retiring themselves out in the T20 today for 'tactical reasons'
Samit Patel and Carlos Braithwaite
Reason i've read for Patel was so a batsman not as 'rotund' as him could come in for the last ball to try and get the 3 needed.
Probably same sort of reason for Braithwaite but haven't read anything yet

I'd fancy them against the Welsh based on that.
Who are they?

Didn't anyone actually want the sweaty socks to win?

Feel I'm missing out by never having visited Spain's northern coast.
Will put that right this year, hopefully.
Do it, it's well worth it.
Another place that deserves a mention is Mundaka.

If you planning a long weekend there's a ferry from Plymouth to Santander, about 20hrs, good for a p155 up there and back.
Santander is about 1hr drive from Bilbao, done the trip loads of times to get into SW France.
As said above San Sebastian is worth a de-tour, Basque region as a whole is great.

I’m surprised a county hasn’t taken Max Waller on loan for this, he’s bowled a few good spells in the friendlies.
To busy sunning himself in sunny Cornwall!!

I know it's not County Cricket, but look at the hoop on that ball!!

Zoomed in vid of the incident, Forest could be in a spot of bother here.

Lorry stuck on narrow country lane near Wellington in Somerset - BBC News
What makes it funnier is the company`s name on the lorry - it could easily refer to the driver!
Sadly almost a daily occurrence in Banwell

£22k a month on rent.
People like this don't live in the real world.
Hope he enjoys his time in prison.

How dare you. Fine commentator.
As demonstrated in the Euros v Denmark I think it was - ‘If England score now it would be……good’
