@Nick yes it is easy to knock them and rightly so. 7 non UK players is indefensible and would be a travesty if they won the CC especially after the unpleasant Bransgroves Machiavellian actions. Who do they have in the squad? Crane? or have I missed someone as promising as he is he shouldn't be anywhere near I international teams yet. Add in their policy of poaching young talent from all over, Topley, wheater, Hart they really should be producing their own given their large catchment

Tammy Beaumont went a long time averaging about 12 in ODIs with a strike rate in the 60s. Seems to have kicked on a bit

Rashid caught third man, is such a Rashid dismissal

Lords tho innit bruv, went for a International for the first time last year. Nice day out but the pitch was awful made the Cricket attritional. Got this trick with a shandy bottle, heat the lid so it expands, pour the shandy away. Fill with beer. Got 4 litres in doing that.

I definitely don't advocating smuggling red wine in a cranberry juice carton. That would be wrong.

Its grey overcast and the ball is moving at Scarborough

Now let's see how Somerset go about losing this.

@MjRichardson93 I'm going to the Saturday at Headingley for 30 quid, full adult ticket

Meanwhile, Surrey 9/2 in the last 10 overs.

Think all this Cardiff bashing is a little unfair. Had many a lovely day watching England in Cardiff, plenty to do once the cricket's done for the day and the only place where a day's test cricket doesn't force you to remortgage your house.

People rave about this Abbott but he couldn't even get out Gary Ballance cheaply and he goes so far back in his crease to pace he is stood next to the wicketkeeper

I say yes if it means we don't have to play internationals in Cardiff.

The great Dobell debate. (Or at least, the one after, 'Should Rikki Clarke play for England'.)

INININGS PARITY KLAXON

Yes

Yes, wait did I already have my turn
