Won the toss and batting, lets see. Unchanged side.

Why have they stopped showing the scoreboard on the stream as a matter of course? Fvcking annoying.

I was hoping that was just a technical glitch last time

It's back up now. Looks like they read FT. 

[Lako42]

When do you lose patience with Azad?

 

He certainly needs this 1 month break

[HaroldBazBo]

Yes, he needs a month in the nets. Good ball though.

[CrawlingFox]

Yep got to feel that Harris can open with Patel coming into the middle order.

 

Azad looks in terrible form. He wasn't great last season either so hopefully he won't end up a one season wonder.

[Lako42]

Really kicked on nicely again these pair. 

 

[CrawlingFox]

Harris looks a serious, serious player.

 

Great to see Ackermann looking like he's finding some form too.

[Manini]

He’s at it again....

[HaroldBazBo]

He looks so in control, bossing their bowlers.

[Stadt]

Looking good despite losing Ackerman and Harris

[CrawlingFox]

Good from Hill. Has turned into a very, very good batsman seemingly overnight.

[Voll Blau]

Another good day. Great to see us showing fight like this with the reverse fixture still fresh in the memory. Hope we can push on with a big total tomorrow and get stuck into them.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

430 minimum from here.

Harris once again was magnificent, Ackerman, Hill, Evans and Swindells all getting useful runs.

Scoreboard pressure is huge, hopefully Parky can get a few wickets and the pitch starts playing up.

Back to back home wins would be incredible.

[Bert]

It’s just nice to be competitive and not the whipping boys, for once. It’s been a long 23 years  

[Paninistickers]

What a change it is to have a quality player in our ranks in Harris.

 

Perhaps it frees.up the other batters a bit, not always being under pressure arriving at 23-3 every game.

How did we get him?

Loose connection but could Andrew Macdonald have put a word in, Harris plays for the Melbourne Renegades

No more than 250 people in today. Not a kid in sight. And people claim there’s no need for cricket to evolve.

Aye, opening three T20 fixtures all sold out. 

 

Championship never been a crowd puller - even more so now in an era of track and trace, hardly like the club can open up the gate at the moment and let kids in nothing in the final session like they used. The club dropped a bollock by declaring the Championship games by ballot/members only.

Infuriating tbh. For once in my life, working from home and a chance to pop down for an afternoon (perhaps even with laptop in tow so I'm on message) and it can't be done. 

 

Would it really be that hard for an occasional tweet stating how many spaces are still available at the ground, a bit like car parks do? 

 

First rule of business. Make it easy to buy.

see you all there at the weekend? 

[when_you're_smiling]

What a ball with his first delivery from Ackerman. 

[The People's Hero]

Needed a few more wickets really early on... Davis and Wright had both openers on the ropes a good few times.
