I prefer games where bowlers are slightly on top but some of the uneven bounce was impossible for anyone to deal with. There was a stat on TMS earlier about the one Bethell got being the lowest bounce of any wicket-taking ball in a Test in England since ball tracking records began.

Simpson had a shocker with the gloves too. We've owed Sussex one for a while. Iron out the unnecessary aerial stuff and that's about as complete a win as you'll get in this format.

Come on Rishi man. Any need?

The Cricketer had the Lancashire chief exec messaging into their post-match podcast last night to have a go at the pitch (about 3 mins in)...

They're doing decent stuff but not much of it's very showy, that's the problem. Seeing a doctor has become much easier where I am since they got in, for example.

Mad end to that game at Taunton. Nice chaser to the Test.

I like it. Wearing it would make me feel like I was in a licensed taxi in a town that isn't Wolverhampton.

Not managed to see much today but have been listening. Buzzing to see the reactions of two disgruntled batsmen grousing about lbw decisions that were literally hitting the stumps. Do away with umpire's review. If we believe the machine says it's hitting then you're out. Simple.

Saw Jimmy Carr at St Pancras on his way to play at De Montfort tonight. Only one bloke got a pic with him, which surprised me a bit.

Good point. That one appearance on Question Time ended Nick Griffin but the same rules don't apply now.

Oh, turns out you can't even say **** on here by spelling it with a v these days. Maybe are Nige is right!

The sily ****'s been given open season to say what he likes for two decades now. His rise is the most abject failure in the history of British journalism.

You can see in Farage's face there's not a shred of human compassion there. The man's a psychopath.

It's be like the club referring to Alan Birchenall MBE in any communications about him.

Touch wood, from the video of the revamp it looks like Everard's read this thread! Fill your boots with requests for them, lads...

Frustrating as anything from a Leicestershire point of view. Unavailable when we need him and its not even in cause of him making the Test side!

Plenty of cases where a journo gets banned by the club and the local paper gets a boost in sales (or clicks, these days).

Bashir's played six Championship games and has improved now he actually gets backed to bowl at Derbyshire. Rehan should have been playing for Leicestershire and has been benchwarming at the IPL instead. Hard to be surprised with which spinner they think is the sounder choice.

Saino's have some good Anschluss gear knocking about too. Stiegl, Augustiner and, most miraculously, an Erdinger that isn't a fvcking wheat beer.

Bizarre post. How do you propose they go about getting access to an absentee chairman like ours exactly?

Northants flying again, even without the Bopara Factor.

Gi' it Carlson till the end of the season whenever Stokes packs up.

Spot on. For anyone paying attention, this just makes reality so much harder to bare. And, let's have it right, we're going to be bombarded with weeks of this mawkish shite once they've got all the footage they need from this. Club legends being played for chumps by the scum running our club.

Kiran Carlson's having a fun old season so far.

Wonder if he's getting told to be the anchor while Budinger (or Mike) and Patel have licence to hit out.
