Niall
International Coach
Replacement for Elliot, but only here for 4 games. I like KOB and Elliot, but Akmal is probably a bigger match winner than both, mega gun in this format.
He is a meh keeper though.

Worcestershire field without a keeper after Moeen's 90 | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
"He helped them reach 211 for 3 in a game that produced one of the strangest field placings seen in English cricket for years. During Worcestershire's stint in the field, their captain Daryl Mitchell ask wicketkeeper Ben Cox to ditch his gloves and pads and become an extra fielder - leaving no one behind the stumps. The umpires, after consultation, allow it. "In a game when you're trying to stop the opposition scoring, it's a legitimate tactic," Steve Rhodes, the Worcestershire director of cricket, said."
Don't get it, couldn't you just leave the ball, letting it go for 4 byes??

Cute captaincy imo.
And today's trivia question is to name the situation when an international side didn't have anyone keeping wicket.

That pic looks surreal TBH
Only instance that i can think of is the Australian tri series final where Brearley took everyone to the boundary against the west indies, and that brought in the fielding restriction rule

Disappointed to see that Lancashire haven't fielded a spinner today - some consolation that Glen Chapple is in the side though

That's the one I was thinking of. 1979/80 wasn't it?

Seems a few spicy wickets about this round. Apparently the pitch at Bristol was a used one that was doing plenty today, hopefully that means 275 is a decent score, looks ok after the start Gloucs made. Chapple still needs 25 wickets for 1000.

Another win for Lancs today, Gloucs rather collapsed after lunch.
Another 5fer for Jarvis, 9 in the match and 47 wickets @ 21 halfway through the season.
