Onions is still waiting for a game ... I think I'd have him ahead of Sidebottom or Bresnan tbh. But yeah, hard to think of another player in county cricket who could come in and do a job. I always thought Jon Lewis was a bit unlucky, but he's probably past it now.
Except that Sidebottom's economy rate is way better than the others. Trouble with this lineup is that Dimi or Rashid gets too much tap, then we're looking at Bopara. One of the troubles, anyway.

Shot of the season I reckon.

Pitch is good, outfield fast ... this target is looking rather vulnerable it has to be said.

Shame, was hoping to see Watto bat for a bit longer. Not a bad little innings up until that point, kept the run rate up.

Listening to this on TMS. Jim Maxwell sounds so much like he does on Cricket 2002 it's surreal. Keep expecting him to say "A bit of extra pace?".

Rashid need to control his line and length or else it will be over by 45th over........since Punter is in finest touch!

Just noticed, ODI debut for umpire Kettleborough. No howlers I hope. Shocked to see he retired from playing as long ago as 1999, though.

Dimi bowling quite beautifully if cricinfo are to be believed. Could easily have dismissed both of these guys.

Very well played Punter.........if he carry on like this, target would be achieved by 45th over!
Which will very probably happen. It's been a strange innings though - some quite sublime shots but he's been dropped, very nearly stumped, and played and missed several times.
