That was a nothing innings from Brown. Was very defensive so missed out on a 5th batting point, then got out anyway. Not a good start for him.
I'm not saying that he'll definitely get a score here, but there can't be many better no.9s than Fuller.
I'm fine with Abbott coming out. But if we lose a wicket in the next three or four overs, I'd rather have a five-ish over burst at them tonight rather than bring out Abbas.
I don't know whether to credit Green for surviving that over or not. He could have been out all six times!
Obviously it's only day three of the season, but I wonder if this is the season where Fuller finally shows that he can hold down a regular (or at least semi-regular, when Crane isn't required) place in our Championship. Plus, the more bowling he can get under his belt, hopefully the better chance that he remembers how to bowl in white ball cricket. Not as a front line first choice five, but a reliable 6th choice.
It's a bit like Overton. Someone who, whilst not express pace, is just that little bit quicker than the rest of the attack - but can be expensive in the process - and can give it an almighty whack when holding a bat. With Overton, he seems to have improved his waywardness in recent years such that he's isn't as expensive now. Fingers crossed that Fuller can follow suit. Other than his first ball to Abell, which was a gift for four, Fuller has been bang on the money here.
Good news that in the other three games, two of them are certain draws and the third has a fair chance of being a draw.
And the only game that has a chance of someone winning features 2 sides who are more likely to go down than challenge for the championship.
