Must be flat if Porterfield is scoring runs.

To right.

 

[Pothas]

Somerset going ok.

 

[grecian]

Somerset going ok.

Yeah, when our batting get's going it's quite good, hideous at other times though.

 

[theegyptian]

Yes Kieswetter in a fine vein of form.

Middlesex choking it away against the unicorns potentially. Morgan still struggling. Needs some runs before the england squad names for t20 and odis.

Hampshire just such a solid white ball team. Just solid player all the way down and everybody can make a defining contribution. Wood at 10 with 41 off 30. No star or great player. Just a real hard team to beat.

 

[grecian]

Unicorns and the Dutch in with a good chance here.

 

[91Jmay]

Deary me that is woeful from the Bears. Why does Javid only bowl two overs, he only went for 6?

Yeah, I have such confidence them winning any sort of game really.

Makes for such a contrast with the four day game where I find it hard to see how they will win games, the batsmen are somewhat underperforming and the bowling is just not up to it.

 

[stumpski]

Linley the last-ball hero against Derby at the Oval.

Almost made a mess of that needing 6 off the final over.

Heartbreak for the 'Corns though.

 

[Cabinet96]

CK WAFG. Hand that man an England shirt.

 

[Pothas]

Has certainly done everyhing you could ask of him since being dropped. Is the same old problem though, all our good one day batsmen are top order players, is why we have to stick with Buttler in my opinion.

 

[Riggins]

reckon whiteley gonna have a great last 2 months for worceter.

In place of who?

 

[Cabinet96]

I wasn't being serious FTR.

 

[mightymariner]

Awesome win for us today against Yorkshire, really was a terrific game to watch. Cobb bowled decently, as did Taylor before he hit the winning runs. Ballance looked in good nick before he spooned one off for an admittedly good catch in the deep.

Rafiq's bowling though, crazy. Looked to have no control or anything. In his last over he served up three full tosses in a row (one of which a beamer, I think), all were rightly dispatched for six.

Oh, and our fielding is terrible.

 

[91Jmay]

Kieswetter is still a block or slog though to a certain degree. He is better at milking singles but not that much better.

 

[theegyptian]

Possibly been posted somewhere else today but the lions team for the two day against aus.

Morgan (Capt), Ali, Ballance, Barker, Buttler, Harris, Kerrigan, Lees, Plunkett, Stokes & Wells

Like the squad. An experimental squad but a lot of names to be liked. Lees and Wells are both promising openers. Ali and Barker are due chances. Plunkett has meant to have bowled well this season- maybe Brooks better?. Buttler pick is meh.

Least Buttler getting some runs today before the t20 and odi series.

 

[91Jmay]

Don't see point of Plunkett and Chopra is really unlucky to miss out.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Don't see point of Plunkett and Chopra is really unlucky to miss out.

Is it because there is no Yorkshire game so can pick him without disrupting other counties?

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah possibly, surely they could find a young player though like Brooks as mentioned earlier?

 

[theegyptian]

They just didn't select anyone participating in finals day which happens on the second day of this match. No-one else had a county game during either of the days.

Chopra is unfortunate. Probably a pretty bad sign for him but then again I think they're just looking at a few different people. Nowhere near a 2nd xi england team.

Still going on in Cardiff right now. Somerset have fought back well.
