When I saw the headline 'Vince could be the next PM' I thought it was about Vince Cable until I saw it was written by Michael Vaughan.

I think that was a bump ball?

Byrom dropped on 36 - clearly Robson went into the 40s!

by NemoUKS 9/25/2017 10:50:43 AM
Westley going to struggle to score a prettier 14 runs than Vince

#ByromBingo 100. going long....

by jlcis 9/25/2017 10:49:23 AM
Bayliss to confirm that they were some of the finest 14 runs he'd ever seen

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:49:07 AM
Westley to get 11-20 and confirm his place.

by Dave Knibb 9/25/2017 10:48:43 AM
Morning. Would the last player to leave Durham please turnout the lights? (Sorry)

by MisanthropeGirl 9/25/2017 10:48:31 AM
England's Tom Westley, to get a ton here and confirm his Ashes tour, what I call the Compton Factor

by nickcricket 9/25/2017 10:47:24 AM
#ByromBingo 49

by Dave Knibb 9/25/2017 10:47:09 AM
Byrom very fond of the reverse sweep. I'm gonna call 41 for #ByromBingo

Gloucestershire v Derbyshire
o Gloucestershire are winless in six games against Derbyshire (D4, L2), their last such victory coming
in 2012.
o These sides last met each other in the month of September back in 2008, their last 14 clashes
falling outside of this month late in the season.
o Hardus Viljoen’s 15/170 against Sussex remain the best match bowling figures this season.
o Wayne Madsen is one of three players to hit 5+ scores of 50+ but not score a century this season.

Byrom on 28, I'm calling #ByromBingo - 45

by NemoUKS 9/25/2017 10:44:20 AM
First and definitely not last byes off a spinner there, four of them taking Somerset past 50

by NemoUKS 9/25/2017 10:44:01 AM
Varun Chopra not messing around. Down the track to Patterson and wahoo over long on. Essex boys loving life.

by petepineapple81 9/25/2017 10:41:55 AM
and that's the real quiz

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:41:13 AM
yeah but Gregory had a better strike rate than Buttler in the T20 blast

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:40:31 AM
@WillColwell Its a real badge of honour to have played 59 FC and have less Hundreds then Jos Buttler

by nickcricket 9/25/2017 10:39:19 AM
Gregory's going to be very upset when he finds out he's batting 9th

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:38:09 AM
The ISM England Test Side. Vince, Bothwick, Root, Joe Clarke, Stokes, Buttler (wk), Collingwood, Riki Clarke, Gregory, Broad, Crane

George Dobell at Somerset (38-0) v Middlesex

Spin was introduced for the 15th over and almost immediately brought the breakthrough: Tresco, sweeping, top-edged the ball but it dropped short of the man running in from backward square. That means Somerset have made it through the first hour unscathed with Byrom playing some lovely front foot drives through the covers.

by George.Dobell 9/25/2017 10:33:31 AM
Last week of the season surely its worth some coverage

by Lawrence Payne 9/25/2017 10:32:30 AM
@Lawrence I'm suprised too, they manage to show Tests and T20's on the same day, so it wouldn't have been that hard for them.

by Dave Knibb 9/25/2017 10:31:47 AM
They have doctored the pitch at Essex, its a cricket pitch which will be enough to spook the Yorkshire batting. I wonder if any of the travelling support took a crossbow...

by nickcricket 9/25/2017 10:31:06 AM
I was asking that last week, but I guess Sky would want to show a whole game, and they have two ODI series to cover.

by David Taylor 9/25/2017 10:30:38 AM
Steady on Tres...

by Matthew Fallaize 9/25/2017 10:29:46 AM
some turn on offer, not excessive, bounce pretty true on the first few balls. Some chance that Mr Hand has reacted like those Australian journalists when they see a tinge of grass on a wicket and start talking about doctoring

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:29:37 AM
@George probably not the worst shout in the world, as much as I don't want him to leave Kent. However I think he's just signed a new long term contract so not sure any move is imminent...

by Matt Richardson 9/25/2017 10:29:35 AM
Surprised no live game on sky?

by Lawrence Payne 9/25/2017 10:28:55 AM
I'm surprised Jim Allenby hasn't made his England debut yet, he need to get on to Vaughan and ask why

by nickcricket 9/25/2017 10:28:17 AM
Patel set to bowl the first spin of the day at Taunton

by Will Colwell 9/25/2017 10:27:52 AM
@MattRichardson I think he could do with a new challenge. I'd definitely take him at Hampshire given our batting issues

by GeorgePotter19 9/25/2017 10:26:49 AM
@WillHarding He will have to sign up for ISM

by nickcricket 9/25/2017 10:26:28 AM
Oh no Kent. Flown under the radar a bit, but DBD has been seriously poor in FC cricket this summer. Wasn't far off the England squad in the winter...

by Matt Richardson 9/25/2017 10:24:38 AM
I personally think that Craig Overton should be in the Ashes squad
