Coad has hit a second 6s showing what a minefield the 'batsmen' were playing on

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:22:00 PM
Looking like a thriller at Edgbaston.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 1:21:59 PM
i'm not going to state my view, you know what happened with Kohler Cadmore earlier...

#RootRaffle 90 runs. I'm feeling optimistic.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 1:21:04 PM
@LawrencePayne Ok, will take runs or ball faced.

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:20:29 PM
2.15pm and 33 overs bowled ... Dean Elgar has slotted seamlessly into this Test captaincy lark

by Dave Knibb 7/6/2017 1:19:27 PM
Nick can we go balls faced? 135 for me

by Lawrence Payne 7/6/2017 1:19:26 PM
#RootRaffle 87

by acarey87 7/6/2017 1:18:26 PM
Ok new blog game, its not a regular one because its an International based game but how to people feel about the #RootRaffle at what score will Root be dismissed between 50 and 100. I am going 78

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:17:53 PM
Coad just hit his 1st ever 6

by Lawrence Payne 7/6/2017 1:17:09 PM
Too true Nick sadly

by Lawrence Payne 7/6/2017 1:16:06 PM
@tomarse99 He doesn't do thinking, never has.

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:15:39 PM
that bounce from COverton though

by Rob Little 7/6/2017 1:15:02 PM
Awful from Rashid, what was he thinking!?

by tomarse99 7/6/2017 1:14:35 PM
- Live Update
Jon Culley at Warwicks v Middlesex 165-5

All results remain possible here, including what would be a first in the history of the game if it is a tie. Never before have two sides in a first-class match been out for identical totals in both first and second innings.

by jonculley 7/6/2017 1:13:16 PM
Hate the England kit, got used to brilliant white and I liked the new style jumper the current one makes athletic players look like a club player who eats too many pies

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:12:43 PM
Nah, Durham and Notts. do BIG HEADS. Still the best.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 1:10:54 PM
Batting is so depressing, hopefully Stokes, Root and the rest can get England to a score but basically have to wait another 2 days to watch the England top 5 do it all again

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:10:22 PM
The Worcs account is still the best, about 8 tweets about how there second XI coach taught Joe Root everything he knows

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:09:04 PM
@StaggerBreaths to be fair we've not won a game since last September.

by tomarse99 7/6/2017 1:06:32 PM
The Somerset Twitter operator needs to calm down. Far too many shout poles.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 1:05:16 PM
Rashid's shot was pretty brainless to be honest. I know they are loads behind with little left but wafting across the line to Leach...

by Haystack_Jnr 7/6/2017 1:03:35 PM
TEAM 100: Yorkshire 100/8 (28.1 ov, target: 337) v Somerset

Woof.

by NemoUKS 7/6/2017 1:01:53 PM
Nah Yorkshire are going to return to the ocean, been flailing round like a 11 fishes out of water all game

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 1:01:35 PM
@StaggerBreaths plenty of time for a quick afternoon dip in the sea at this rate.

by tomarse99 7/6/2017 1:01:09 PM
I presumed Yorkshire were.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 12:59:29 PM
Somerset trying to beat the rush hour traffic home then.

Long way until the North South series, when Captain Cook faces off against Captain Ballance in a clash on modern One Day Cricket

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 12:53:32 PM
That's part of Vince's charm though.

by StaggerBreaths 7/6/2017 12:51:29 PM
Not sure can Clark moving on from being brainless? If so can we get James Vince on the waiting list

by nickcricket 7/6/2017 12:50:46 PM
He's meant to be in the North v South series isn't he?
