Linesman gave it as offside so ref blew for it.

We’re going to get some absolute tonkings this season.

Enjoyed LCD Soundsystem and Pixies at All Points East. …..London music crowds can get in the bin though…..

Ha ha. As if. We once signed a player who wasn’t in time for six months later.

Not sure if it’s mentioned in the article, but seen it reported the average viewership for a men’s Hundred on Sky was virtually the same as the average for its men’s Blast coverage.

Ah forgotten what it was all about. All the odds against but still upset the ‘big boys’. Well done lads. Make no mistake it’s going to be hard this season but let’s keep ****ing them up when we get our chance.

He’s not strong enough for it.

We did have one touch in the opposition box, and a shot on goal, from about 50 yards out that nearly hit the corner flag. Honestly, though, I was expecting worse.

We are a worse side than last season. We all know that.

Seriously, what were some of you expecting? It’s a newly promoted side who had to sell their best player to afford any incomings up against a side who’ve just paid £65 for a striker replacing the big money international strikers they’ve stuck on bench.

I miss the Championship.

Think the players on the bench would too. Werner and Richarlison among the options up front there.

Near enough a ‘use it or lose it’ plea.

Is Goldsworthy still not tied down for next year?

‘Scored by a player so important to Klopp’ says Pearce for the first. Given Liverpool haven’t made a signing it would be quite impressive if it hadn’t been.

They won one. Beat Newcastle in September time I think and that was the only win for about a year.

I was listening on the radio via the website. Would be interested to see if the BBC got more hits for that than any Hundred game. The roar, especially when Trevaskis got his 50, sounded great.

There was a long delay after Abbot got hit in the goolies.

Won off the penultimate ball. 🎉

It’s not a new kit, it’s the white flag they’re waving.

Ah was wrong. 11am start v Hampshire. **** the ECB. At work unfortunately.

Same as last year basically as has previously been pointed out. ECB trying to sabotage it as much as possible. Guessing the club will be trying to make Friday a day nighter. Isn’t it correct they’re only allowed the floodlights on past 8pm ish for a certain number of times in a season? However the game against Warks was over before the floodlights even came on, so they might be able to wrangle it.

I nearly put ‘just bat sensibly’ earlier but then thought it was pointless doing because we wouldn’t in the power play. Seem to have been at least two down every time. How can the DLS par after 10 balls be 32? 😄

Well bowed. 196 to win in 36.
