Taylor ton. No Siddle & Harris means it's still a big step up but you imagine that's his spot booked.

 

[91Jmay]

Good ton for James Taylor against still a good quality attack. He is a fine player.

 

[Howe_zat]

Turner gets to bowl his first over in FC cricket with a 94-over old ball to a bloke on a hundred. It goes for 8.

Why did they get someone in to make up the numbers when half their batsmen are in dire need of runs? Resting Clarke and Watson I get but why Rogers and Haddin?

Ashton Agar to begin the afternoon session. Only six overs left in the Sussex innings. 7-351 #SCCCvAUS #Ashes

[Riggins]

[Spikey]

are they playing compulsory decs?

100 overs each

 

[91Jmay]

What a piss poor bloke Lewis Hatchett is. Blocks the last 5 balls of the innings.

 

[Riggins]

Compulsorily declared? You know what this means don't you, they're declaring it compulsorily.

 

[Riggins]

and fwiw, he's a good bloke.

 

[Spikey]

no hes not

 

[Maximas]

hmm, Khawaja to make way for Warner? Or will his second innings rearguard at Lords be enough to keep his place?

 

[Spikey]

He's the guy I would toss out. But it doesnt seem like they're keen on Warner at 3, which is a bit strange.

 

[Howe_zat]

I think we'll have one of Khawaja and Hughes at 3 and the other gets chucked.

 

[Prince EWS]

He's the guy I would toss out. But it doesnt seem like they're keen on Warner at 3, which is a bit strange.

I'm not really keen on Warner at 3 either but I think Hughes should be top 3 if he plays which means it's not really a big issue. Warner and Smith can bat 4 and 6.

 

[Maximas]

My team would be

Watson
Rogers
Warner
Khawaja
Clarke
Smitteh
Haddin
Siddle
Harris
Lyon
Bird

 

[Spikey]

gosh, hughes has gone past the amount of FC games Cowan has played. and he's about 15 behind watson

 

[Cabinet96]

hmm, Khawaja to make way for Warner? Or will his second innings rearguard at Lords be enough to keep his place?

It's interesting that Khawaja opened and Hughes didn't. It's like they wanted him to get some runs but where content with Hughes' work this game...

 

[Spikey]

no i think they just wanted to stuff hughes around some more
