Lancs. and Notts. are trying really hard to mirror each other. It's almost cute.

by StaggerBreaths 9/19/2017 4:58:31 PM
@StaggerBreaths Agree. Woakes will get carted anyway.

Nothing should be included which reduces the amount Ballance bowls

He can bat at eleven.

by StaggerBreaths 9/19/2017 4:57:15 PM
The best thing about that team, George, is that it practically guarantees six overs per day of Ballance. In that case would there not be an argument for including Keaton's surprisingly effective dobble?

by StaggerBreaths 9/19/2017 4:55:34 PM

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/19/2017 4:54:36 PM
I'd go Cook/Hameed/Stoneman/Burns/Root/Ballance/Malan/Bairstow/Stokes/Ali/Woakes. Whatever f***ing happens we get out of Brisbane with a draw. Malan and Root are good for 100 overs between them and I'd like to see Cook given the opportunity to improve on his bowling average of 7

BBC say they're picking 17, so I'd take also take Burns Ballance Foakes Jimmy Wood and... someone.

Worcs are going to need bonus points, aren't we. Just 6, mind, and that's if Northants hit 400 against...oh god, Leicestershire...

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/19/2017 4:38:20 PM
Yeah I am sure there is no malice behind it but it does make me think of the Sturmabteilung every time I see it and of Heather Knight beating up disabled innocent

Too 50+ plus opening partnerships in consecutive games for Yorkshire using four different players

by nickcricket 9/19/2017 4:32:51 PM
@nickcricket No, me too. I hope/think it's a young media type that is only aware of the Star Wars reference

Is it just me that find Western Storm using #StormTroopers a bit repellent?

by nickcricket 9/19/2017 4:26:06 PM
Love how the BBC county update is blasting Yorkshire for slow run rate!! They are 42-0 off 14 (3 rpo) - any side playing long form cricket anywhere in the world on any day ever would bite your hand off for that!

@nickcricket Lionel Bessi would've had this lot out for 60.

by SDHoneymonster 9/19/2017 4:12:17 PM
And they are only facing Rashid, think if they had to face Hants 2nd XI Spinner Mason Hypecrane

A reminder that WI are really, really bad.

by StaggerBreaths 9/19/2017 4:06:43 PM
Essex still on the beers?

by acarey87 9/19/2017 4:05:08 PM
Essex's openers score 5 runs between them. If only they had, say, a player with 11,500 test runs at their disposal?

by GeorgePotter19 9/19/2017 4:05:01 PM
'Nah, we don't need to field Alastair Cook.'
