@MatthewFallaize The ECB can't make sure he never plays a said County anyway

by nickcricket 9/26/2017 12:50:38 PM
How long before the theory that the Stokes arrest is an ECB stitch up punishing him for being the only player staying at Durham?

by Matthew Fallaize 9/26/2017 12:49:41 PM
Don't recall Cook's form being all that this summer, and his form in Aus, other than 2010/1, isn't that great.

TEAM 100: Warwickshire 100/5 (40 ov) v Hampshire
AT Thomson 21* (77) DP Sibley 64* (126)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/26/2017 12:48:12 PM
Given bowlers seem to be on top this week maybe as England fans we need to thank Essex for giving Cook the week off and risking his form dropping off

Selecting a batting line up on form.......christ that sounds like hard work!

by Joe Williams 9/26/2017 12:43:59 PM
Strauss said Ashes Squad will be selected on form and fitness, so that is a big selectorial change usually it whoever is signed up to ISM

Possibly it was a hotel doorman saluting him as he got back.

Maybe Stokes wanted to go to a Bangladeshi restaurant and Hales refused to go.

Nickcricket: set the bar high, why don't you.

I think Stirling has opened bowling in t20s but would be amazed if he had done it in a FC match

by Christopher Payne 9/26/2017 12:37:47 PM
Trescothick running better than Gayle

by nickcricket 9/26/2017 12:37:01 PM
Paul Stirling opening the bowling. Best he's not done that much before.

INDIVIDUAL 50: R Ashwin 52* (86)
Worcestershire 220/6 (63 ov, won the toss) v Durham

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/26/2017 12:36:12 PM
Hales was probably fast asleep laying in the gulley region.

The 27 year old involved is believed to be Shahid Afridi

Probably saluting the back of a departing police van...

by NemoUKS 9/26/2017 12:34:36 PM
@petepineapple81 Sameuls told police he was 27 and they laughed

by nickcricket 9/26/2017 12:34:29 PM
@NemoUKS Especially if they are claiming their memory is good enough to go 'on the record', Hales either didn't do enough to get arrested or wasn't there when the police arrived but Leaving was never his strong point

by nickcricket 9/26/2017 12:34:08 PM
Where was Marlon Samuels at 2:35am on Monday? Surely he holds the key?

by petepineapple81 9/26/2017 12:33:43 PM
At least England continue their policy of deporting criminals Down Under!

by James Birbeck Dar 9/26/2017 12:32:43 PM
sounds like Hales was with Stokes but wasn't physically involved?

by Rob Little 9/26/2017 12:32:32 PM
I'll be impressed if there were many people in the Clifton Triangle area in the early hours of Monday morning who can remember they were there...

by NemoUKS 9/26/2017 12:31:57 PM
Not clear what Hales has done wrong. Was he with Stokes?

by James Birbeck Dar 9/26/2017 12:31:39 PM
Jon Culley at Warwickshire 85-5 v Hampshire

Good news for Hampshire is that Kyle Abbott, after testing his ankle during the lunch break, is back on the field and has indeed bowled the opening over of the afternoon session. The good news for Warwickshire, such as it can be on their farewell appearance in Division One, is that Dominic Sibley has played impressively for his unbeaten 53 with sensible, measured support from Alex Thomson, in only his second Championship appearance, in a stand so far worth 57.

The Clifton Triangle strikes again.

I think our lack of faith in the fairness of the ECB has caused this paranoia

by Dave Knibb 9/26/2017 12:26:30 PM
Plus there's also the small matter of winning the match.

by AnthonyJ_89 9/26/2017 12:25:29 PM
They won't penalise the pitch!
