Nice bit of damaging to Sussex's NRR. From -0.162 to -0.373.

 

If we win both games in the next 48 hours, there's a chance we could find ourselves in the top four. At the very least we'll be just outside.

But on the other hand, even if we share the two matches 1-1, it'll be an uphill task for us in our final six games. We're very unfortunate to only play Kent and Glamorgan once - leaves us a step behind our rivals even before those four opening losses.

 

I fancy us to take anyone on now with Vincey opening, the bowling has been pretty good overall.

 

Brave's wildcard pick is Finn Allen.

 

Getting a bit rowdy in the west country. Wonder if @ChilcoSaint is the ringleader?

Somerset CCC: Record number of fans ejected due to behaviour - BBC Sport

 

Over 15 fans ejected in 3 matches. They’re just not trying!

Things were better when we didn’t export cider to the rest of the UK.

 

An opener-keeper was always the most likely, it was a case of who. I wonder if we'd have gone for McDermott if Spirit hadn't got there first? But Finn is still a good option.

 

Not a bad first over for Gloucs!

 

Hants win the toss and bat first.

 

Failure for McDermott tonight.

 

Clever bowling order there by Essex. That’s popped our ballon

 

Prest has completely wasted the last over of PP.

 

Not exactly gutted that Prest has holed out.

 

Excellent end to the over.

 

Fine, that will bring Whiteley to the crease.

 

Need a big final 5 now.

 

Yes!...tom mix

Wtf is going on? he signalled a six

 

The bowlers are going to have to win this for us.

 

This isn't Radlett.

 

We're going to have to bowl well to defend a lowish score is what I mean.
