The Cricket Thread

Superb by invincibles.

Billings may not have had a consistently good batting career but he is a great captain

 

Given that he's both a gun-batter and a gun-fielder, I'm surprised that Cox didn't make any of the three white balls squads for next month. Not even the Ireland squad, when so many batters are being rested.

England could really do with adding him. Like Brook, he's an all-format player in waiting.

 

100%, he is a very decent fielder too

 

If Somerset or Durham want to see a 100 side based at Taunton or CLS, then rather than create a 9th side, just bin off Welsh Fire.

Consistently the worst men's side. And the women are having a bad season too.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Baker and Currie go against Brook. Off the top of my head, I can't recall either of them bowling to him in a Hants-Yorks match.

After our back-to-back defeats, we could do with a favour from Originals.

 

Klaasen finally finds his form. Having Rachin available for the first time to come in ahead of him I suspect helped.

 

Fuller released to play tomorrow, which is useful. Looks like he'll be in for Wheal.

 

Nice for Baker to get a hattrick.

That result (and the size of it) keeps the group really alive.

 

I hope that's not too bad for Daws. At least it's not his bowling hand.

 

The nipper is at it again, got Burns, go Manny!

 

Lumsden gets a wicket off his 4th ball. S 32 - 1 10.4 overs.

 

He has another. Bowling incredibly for someone so young

 

Neal now has 3-13. Surrey 89/6

 

S 160 all out

 

Another nice boost to the NRR coming.

 

Surrey were always going to struggle in the OD cup, their squad has been decimated by the Hundred.

 

Well, that looked very easy, and one-sided. If Hampshire keep playing like this, there'll be another final coming up

 

Knocked off inside 20 overs!

 

Our NRR before today was +0.399. Lets see how much it increases!

 

It's now at +1.075. Nice!
