James and his giant peach

Sorry, I know he's a good player but 100 off 73 balls on an iffy pitch with a wet outfield is poor bowling.

Just look at the side we've put out, it's a div 2 side. Signings like Weatherald and Helm were needed throughout the team. A few absentees (they knew Rehan and Holland would be out for spells) and the team looks shocking. Jordan Cox having a party.

Absolutely criminal from the Spurs to go for 8 straight 3s when they had a 25 point lead, didn't manage the clock and let Knicks come back. Once it was single digits I had a feeling, incredible comeback but very poor from SA.

No I'm buzzing mate, brilliant win. I still don't know how we defended 147 when they were going at ten an over but we got Bairstow out just in time I think. Rehan makes a massive difference with his bowling, and no Mike or Hull meant the bowling unit was tighter. It's great we have won 3 in a row and hope we can take this form into the C and get a win v Essex.

Literally 7-3 off last 3 overs. Will do well to make 150.

One thing is for sure, we do not want another miserable season and if it is Martin we have to get behind him, as booing and having a go before a ball is kicked won't help at all. If we win the first two games 3-0 he will be a god

Well it made sense seeing as they said everyone that renewed could apply for 2 more season tickets. That implied they hadn't sold many.

I'm shocked. My contact at the club said less than half (around 11k) had renewed, meaning suddenly 12k new fans have bought STs for league one?? His info must be wrong surely the club wouldn't lie, they're all full of such upstanding people......

You'll never sing that

Yeah baffling they picked Bashir for this, knowing the forecast, and baffling in general he continues to be overlooked when he can bat so well.

Stokes hasn't got runs for ages now. He's basically a bowler and a captain.

Depends how you look at things. It's exciting in that there will be a result and it's a real test of batting skill. It's also more exciting than both teams scoring 500. But I agree it's a pitch that is clearly too bowler friendly. It has to be said though that bowling on both sides has been brilliant.

I thought when the lead went to 100 with 9 wickets left this game mirrors Perth. England low score, skittle the opponents then get a lead and oh look crumbling and NZ will knock off 200 to win. Flaky batting and 6 million LBWs.

Forecast is mainly awful apart from Friday, going to be a lot of stop start cricket and surprised if there's any result. Such a shame after April and May has been largely dry.

I just cannot get my head around the fact project Bashir is not project Rehan. For a start, leg spinners are few and far between and decent ones are worth their weight. Secondly, Bashir is a pure number 11 where as Rehan is not only a fine spinner but a top order batter, so 2 for the price of 1. If the same amount of effort was spent on integrating Rehan as they have Bashir, we would be better off. He can still improve but can also play all formats which Bashir cannot. It's a no brainer for me. They should be trying to have as many crossover players as possible. Brook, Duckett, Jamie Smith, Bethell, Carse, Archer, Rehan can all play test, ODI and t20 and it's the best way forward.

We won there last year really well, Rehab bowled a couple of jaffas I remember.

Well we won but my god that was a painful last few overs, we should have won at a canter. Real lessons need to be learnt. Our experienced over seas players who were in and set should have never given their wickets away like that. Green was a moron and chasing such a low total we nearly lost again. We really need to start thinking because for large parts we played well.

No way. Why did Lancs use this wayward mullet as their death bowler

All down to dutchy

Wow, just wow. No words for this, this is a new type of insane. To lose about 5 wickets in 2 overs when we needed less than a run a ball is just mental. Suicidal.

If we lose this then I totally give up, amateur nonsense.

If we can't chase 145 then we will never win a game. Bowled well and fielded pretty well for once so need to make sure it's not in vain. A nice 20 ball from Budinger would do nicely. Truth is the run a ball shite they served up in the first 2 games would be more than enough to win this so no need to do anything stupid early on, keep wickets in hand.

We have. We used to play a game every year at Oakham school and I'm sure we played Notts at Kibworth last year in the Metro Bank

It's £20 odd quid when it's on SKY and YouTube and we are playing shite cricket so it's no surprise it's a poor crowd especially as it's a weekday too.

Beggars belief what we've done so far this season. Near enough hammered in every game. We aren't even competing at all. All facets of the game including captaincy and coaching are sub par so far. Team selection today was honking. Budinger has to be first name on the sheet in a t20 game, Hull needs dropping, fielding was shite. Dreadful evening.
