do they have match highlights of these t20's online anywhere? i cant seem to find anything.
Some of the counties have channels on youtube. Sussex post highlights of their games usually, think Lancashire do the same.

Going to be a good chase this. Fancy Lancs to get it with there left handers going at that short leg side boundary.

Watching the Notts - Lancs game and impressed with the crowd. Have they been generally good this T20 season?

Yeah crowds have been excellent in T20 this year from what I gather, plenty of sell outs and 10k plus crowds. Josh Cobb had some game, but don't rate him as anymore than a decent county player.

What would everyones England T20 side be as of now?
I'd go:
Michael Lumb
Alex Hales
Kevin Pietersen
Luke Wright
Eoin Morgan
Ben Stokes
Jos Buttler
Chris Woakes
Graeme White (sensational T20 campaign this year 17 and going under 5.7 per over for the whole tournament!)
Reece Topley
Jade Dernbach

Plenty of power hitting, 6 guys who can bowl with variation of left arm seam and spin.

Buttler +
Bopara
Swann
Briggs
Finn (Azharullah if eligible)
Dernbach

Stokes 12th


As a random aside, why did White swap from Northants to Notts between the 7th and 8th of July? Played a T20 at Taunton on the 7th for Northamptonshire, then started a CC game on the 8th in London for Nottinghamshire.

I know it's just not the done thing to play Jimmy, but his competition isn't Sidebottom anymore FFS, it's Dernbach.

In fairness to Dernbach (words I never thought I'd utter), he's actually a decent T20 option and he's performed in the domestic comp this year. With Anderson's obvious importance in the longest form, I don't have an issue with using Dernbach ahead of him in T20.

I would like to see them giving Willey a go. Has bowled well this year and is a hard-hitting bat. Would much rather go with Briggs and rest Swann too. these injury problems have clearly not been totally cleared up, I wouldn't mind him not playing short-form at all.

When are any international T20s? Between 10 Ashes Tests? There's as much chance of Jimmy playing as there is him walking on the moon.

I'd be amazed if Jimmy plays any other international cricket other than tests versus Australia until next summer. No need to risk him in one dayers or T20's. Let Bresnan and Finn play the majority of those games with other bowlers to make the numbers up. Broad to play as and when depending on his fitness.

Carberry since he decided to reinvent himself for the short forms has played well for Hampshire this season. Very brutal square of the wicket and you can tell he's put some decent thought into his approach to the game. Still a bit lacking against spin. Unfortunately for him Hales, Lumb and Wright have done decently at the top of the order for England and have also improved their games and I wouldn't want to drop any of them.

Would be good for England to have the variation of a left arm fast bowler. Guess there is Topley, Willey, Gurney or Liddle. Don't think any are that amazing. Topley has been near the top of the wickettakers the last two years. Gurney the quickest. Willey the best batsman. Topley and Willey were around the England performance setup this winter so they're definitely been looked at. Probably not quite good enough at the moment but one might make a squad if England rest a few.

Indeed left-arm seamers do seem to do a job, still think it's a shame Sidearse didn't stay as a t20 specialist for England.

Just makes sense in a game where people need to hit from the start to mess about with the angle of delivery. Obviously if you have decent bowlers to do it. LidL been a bit found out this year I think, but still would be happy with any of those four in the squad.

Even Wagg and Rob Taylor have taken wickets this year, but they're probably not going to make it for England. Even though I don't think I've seen Taylor play. Scottish though.
