You should probably correct the record on this thread now that you know this isn't true.

Said it before but he's played well since moving to Derbyshire.

Come on now, poorly composed Facebook memes are a very valid reason.

What do you want to change that isn't being changed now?

Le Cygne et Pédophile.

Buzzing it's finally come together. Shame it's before another decent break between Championship games!

You go outside of the top Euro leagues and I'd say its largely going to be weighted in the national teams' favour?

Could have done with this 48 hours ago...

No probably about it but like I say, this is Div 1. Most sides do. They're without Cook, so if there was any time not to worry about seeing off a difficult hour, it was this one. Stick Hill up the order to protect the others if it's that much of a concern. Anyway, it is possible to salvage things but we need to play bloody well today.

If you have the attack to exploit that, fine. Only B. Green had them in any trouble though. Looking at the forecast and our recent record, we should have backed ourselves to bat. We keep putting all our chips on having sides 50 for 7 within an hour but that just ain't gonna happen in Div 1.

Sheldon Gums too. Another game likely lost at a toss we won. Again. Sick of this now.

Very sad. Had no idea about that relationship.

There's a reason for that, though. In what other sport are you away from home as regularly for as long? And you've got 8+ hours a day of potentially needing to be switched on each day, especially if you're the captain. I can't imagine how bored snd tempted I'd be by all sorts of things if I was a pro cricketer. I can't blame any of them for letting loose every now and then, especially after a win with a day to spare like that. That said, they did need to clean up their act and they haven't. But that's a failure of culture, not just of one individual in a leadership role. If Stokes does go then he can't just be the fall guy. Others above him should follow suit.

I can see the benefits but I wonder about the impact it'd have on the team's mentality. Trying to bore snd grind our way to survival in the Championship hasn't worked so far. From an entertainment point of view, I'd be all for it though - much prefer a T20 game with bowlers on top to a slogfest!

Feels inevitable.

They are looking at a site in West London but they're barely there anyway this season. Playing a lot at outgrounds.

Wasn't expecting to see that result when I had to go out five overs into the second innings. Fair play. Love seeing us grow into this tournament.

Not for long...

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.
