The Cricket Thread

The bad news regarding Surrey is that Pope is back in the squad (and he always scores an absolute mountain of runs against us) but the good news is Foakes has been rested by the ECB. Smith is a competent keeper but he's not Foakes.

 

Website says he'll be travelling as 13th man, unfortunately.

 

So more medium pace mediocrity from Holland as first bowling change then. Great.

 

Maybe not - Wheal's in. OK, happy enough with that.

 

Middleton gone for 4.

H 51 - 4 Orr Vince and Prest all gone cheaply,

 

Jesus Christ we are literally throwing our wickets away.

 

H 91 - 6 Lunch

H 151 all out

 

Jaffa from Abbott. Sibley's off stump gone for a walk. Need to make the most of the new ball.

 

Bowled Kyle!, neck and crop

 

Kyle's on it today, bowling with a great rhythm.

 

BIG wicket.

 

Bit unfortunate for Pope but I'll take it!

 

Another big wicket!

 

Right before tea as well. Excellent.

 

4 down!

 

Well done Mo.

 

Just seen his figures, the very definition of economical.

 

That was an awful hour of cricket.

No wickets, one boundary, 31 runs.

 

****ing Rory Burns!...

 

TBH it's better him than Smith or Pope because if they were still at the crease they'd be past 250 by now.
