We lost because of very poor bowling tonight esp from Wood, Shamsi & Fuller - 119 runs across 8ovs. Don’t think we were strong enough & don’t think we would have progressed regardless. Edit: Bad math - 125 runs / 8ovs.
Lancs (vs Essex), Sussex (vs Worcs), Middlesex (vs Notts) and Gloucs (vs Derby) would be my bet for finals day. Lancs to win it.
Well that result at Taunton has taken me by surprise!! My beloved Middlesex through.. How about a final between Middlesex and those upstarts from Essex?
Super Sussex are probably favourites with the turf, but I think Lancashire are most likely to win it all.
England XI for fourth Test: Rory Burns, Joe Denly, Joe Root (c), Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Jos Buttler, Craig Overton, Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach. 2 Somerset players in the England team, plus Buttler the Taunton boy! When did that last happen?
Not sure, but Roy and Buttler should have been dropped. They dropped Woakes instead who has made the exact same number runs as Buttler + Roy combined, I find that borderline hilarious. Especially when Woakes can bowl too. Surprised they went with Overton over Curran if they wanted to drop Woakes.
