@Will I mean it is the Header...I'll get my coat

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:37:49 PM
Virdi v Vince, bring it on

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:37:39 PM
Also weird for Yorkshire to make Travis Head the main man in that photo header seeing as he's played 1 Championship game in his life by my maths

by Will 7/3/2017 1:36:40 PM
Knew that having Dickson in my fantasy team all year would pay off at some point

by Will 7/3/2017 1:35:48 PM
Comms doing their utmost to put the mockers on Dickson

Cracking lesson on agricultural applications of water mills on the comms from Scarborough at the minute

by Mark Ofield 7/3/2017 1:28:19 PM
Fair enough, his name being almost 'Qadir' was what threw me.

by David Taylor 7/3/2017 1:26:32 PM
So i suppose Vince has picked this game to play well...

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:26:30 PM
@DavidTaylor Qadri's an offie. And Crichtley, the lad batting at the moment, is doing a bit of a Borthwick - becoming a batsman having started as a leg spinner.

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 1:25:45 PM
Would have been tough on Qadri to be dropped, but I agree. First Derby leg-spinner since Tommy Mitchell? (excluding Barnett, etc)

by David Taylor 7/3/2017 1:25:08 PM
@SDHoneymonster - Almost like the ECB toss rule is working...

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:24:27 PM
Not sure if it's been mentioned already but it's really good to see that Crane, Qadri and Virdi are all playing this round. They're only going to improve if their counties actually play 'em.

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 1:23:46 PM
*21

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:23:27 PM
Wicket alert - Vince has hit 23 off his last 8 balls

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:23:13 PM
WICKET: Gloucestershire 13/2 (4.2 ov, trail by 104 - 1st inns) v Glamorgan
CDJ Dent b de Lange 1 (10) Partnership: 13 (4.1 ov)
M de Lange 2.2-0-8-2 WA Tavare 12* (15)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 7/3/2017 1:22:50 PM
@dezdezzy He will probably go on to become Cook's 43 opening partner

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:22:33 PM
Trott nodding approvingly from the other end.

by David Taylor 7/3/2017 1:19:58 PM
We've had glimpses of Aneurysm Donald's talent too - still think he has what it takes but is young & inconsistent at the mo. Would be a genuine Welsh player if he made it to the English squad.

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:19:36 PM
Mathew Lamb 3 off 28 #WayofUmeed

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:18:43 PM
Vince nearly chopped on there. Cross batted slash and an underedge that went for 4.

by Matt Warwick 7/3/2017 1:18:16 PM
Nope. It would presumably have been not long before the CT began.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 1:16:50 PM
@dezdezzy de Lange isn't a bad player either but they aint world beaters

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:16:03 PM
@StaggerBreaths Can you remember which switch hit it is in?

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:14:49 PM
He suggested going one step further and splitting Glamorgan off into Wales, making them earn their standing in cricket that way.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 1:14:06 PM
Colin Ingrams a bit better than average to be fair

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:13:35 PM
TEAM 100: Warwickshire 100/3 (37.4 ov) v Middlesex
M Lamb 3* (26) IJL Trott 34* (78)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 7/3/2017 1:13:34 PM
@DavidTaylor Muscular problem, doubtful he will be involved in the match again

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:13:32 PM
@LordK not sure which one it was in, will also be hidden in a 40 min ep. Was basically everything you said poor international crowds, some very average kolpak/passport players, don't produce international players

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:12:43 PM
Just noticed Sidebottom off in his 5th over, anything serious?

by David Taylor 7/3/2017 1:12:41 PM
Shame for DBD - due a big score on what looks like a great batting pitch. Hopefully it disintegrates into a sub-continent dustbowl by Day 4 with Tredders and Yasir in the team. Most unlikely spin twins ever?

by MjRichardson93 7/3/2017 1:12:12 PM
*needed

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 1:11:45 PM
Coaches will be need to bundle the players onto halfway through tomorrow morning Mark.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 1:11:31 PM
Vince into the twenties, just a matter of time now

by David Taylor 7/3/2017 1:11:26 PM
Inspectors or coaches needed down at Cheltenham?

by Mark Ofield 7/3/2017 1:10:55 PM
Bancroft must have a great personality because he never scores any runs, hope he is cheap overseas must be local club players who could do the same numbers

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:10:16 PM
Looking at the picture of Abell above it appears that his problem is that he's been playing all season with half a bat

by Will 7/3/2017 1:09:44 PM
Glamorgan clearly offended by the implications of Bancroft's name in that part of the world

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 1:08:50 PM
@Will Maybe they're playing at Cheltenham racecourse? :)

by Beth Watson 7/3/2017 1:08:25 PM
Jaques Rudolph seems a pale shadow of his former self

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 1:08:06 PM
Are Glos and Glamorgan playing on an untreated patch of grass?

by Will 7/3/2017 1:07:06 PM
@dezdezzy You're off my Christmas card list after that shameless jinxing.

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 1:06:57 PM
INSPECTORS!
