Nothing makes sense, on one hand NASA and the Russian equivalent are meeting on great space project terms, Witkoff is in Moscow and Rubio talks nicely about Lavrov. On the other hand Trump does this. At least with Biden you knew both sides hated each other. It’s all theatre for these guys. I bet they’ll cut a deal on Ukraine soon enough, or we all die.

How the hell did Ghana not qualify for a 24 team AFCON

Means we need 21 points from our final 3 games to secure promotion. Means we could technically lose every game and still get promoted. One win will do it, as would two draws.

They should declare, let us get a quick 100, then set them 150 off the last 20 overs of the day.

Not sure where these rumours are from, he was a sub at Derby last week. He’s being rested for the final championship games where he’ll be keeper after Handscomb leaves. It’s just that the pitches have meant we need an extra bowling option and Cox is sadly the most credible person to drop

Don’t wanna be all “pay nurses footballers wages” but they’re hardly asking Eric from the war torn Democratic republic of Congo to stump up for the ritz are they?

Wow Tongue is basically me but 30mph quicker

England selectors might have a sigh of relief if this rules Woakes out of the ashes. Sad for him ofc.

LCFC and SWFC fans when somebody mentions ‘points deductions’

I’m sure there’s a catch and it’s a shame it’s due to the hundred but this sounds very optimistic. Incidentally Gould has always seemed to have a thing for us from when he was at Surrey, always bigged us up and stood up for the other smaller counties. So it’s probably a good thing he’s the current CEO at this important moment.

That’s what makes it dangerous. Finally we see a decent pitch in this series. Reckon the Indian bowlers should be able to cause issues too

Nope, so a top division of 12 but they’re split between two groups, the bottom places of each group get relegated for the top 2 in the second division. Then it’ll be a play off between the group winners to crown county champions.

From what I’ve read, the most likely is going to be a 12 team top division split into 2 groups of 6?

If we draw, Glamorgan win and Derbyshire don’t, I’d say that pretty much seals our promotion. We’d be on 193 as things stand, losing 50 points in 3 games is very unlikely. We’d need to lose every game and Derbyshire or someone else win every game. So it seems like what’s to play for is the title against Glamorgan! Exciting times! If Glamorgan eventually overtake us, this is not a disappointment, we just need promotion.

It’s funny, I’ve watched the stream the last hour and Rehan has bowled a lot better and more consistently than last week yet has had little luck. Big wicket though. Puts us just on top I think.

It was never that bad anyway, we gave a lot of stupid wickets away. It’s been a high scorer all season too.

Marinakis is the worst case scenario for an owner as one of his mafia mates could have him shot at anytime.

They’ve not got a lot left after these two so we just have to be patient. Does anyone watching the stream know if Stewart likely to bat?

Need Holland to get Compton early because they don’t have much else experience wise

450 too much to ask?

Wrexham signing Broadhead from Ipswich for £7.5m, apparently doubling his wages according to Ipswich forum 😳😳

So Green, Davey and Tattersall in. Swindells retiring, can imagine Wright might be too? Unless Davey will be a Van Beek replacement. The overseas pick is going to be very important next season. Would love to get Mulder back.

Got a few more in. 14 more runs in the morning would be wonderful.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Scriven scores more runs than Kimber

Yeah it’s turning square but some of the dismissals have been brain dead. Hill and Rehan got tricky ones but the other three were stupid shots.
