Seems like an incredibly clean hitter of a cricket ball. Smashed Plunkett at the end of the innings, was a seriously good knock.
van de Merwe signs for Somerset next year. With him and Dockrell back, no need for Rehman and they can use the overseas signing to strengthen the batting (or perhaps grab a 'keeper).

10. L Gregory

+ Dockrell, Groenewald, J Overton and an overseas player.
What's the NZ schedule for the next English summer? They might grab Ronchi again or, in a move that would make me a very happy Dan indeed, they might be able to snag themselves a Watling.

Sounds like it was a blistering spell from Joverton which included that absolute missile.

A nice polite send-off too, good man.
Really hope we can keep him fit for a bit, and see if he can produce this type of thing with any consistency.

So who is the best wicket-keeper present at the moment in England? ( No Foster / Jones please! )

Honestly still is James Foster but if you're looking for younger player in the first division I've heard good things about Michael Bates, who's been the only player I can remember making one-day sides on the strength of his keeping alone.
Among those who have been involved in internationals this side of the industrial revolution, Steve Davies still exists

Northamptonshire will let David Willey take a step up for £50,000 | Sport | The Guardian
Interesting. Not sure moving to a first division club per se will bring him any closer to international honours. Imo Willey needs to add a bit of pace. If he could become a mid 80's swinger who can bat a bit he'd have a decent chance of making the test team. At present his bowling is a little too pedestrian and as soon as the ball stops swinging extravagently he'd becomes extremely hittable. Will have a lot of suitors you'd imagine as someone who plays 3 formats and can bat and bowl.
Shame for Northants. They're just starting to get the makings of a decent balanced squad.

lol rashid not fit to play for England but available for Yorkshire this weekend. You don't get many opportunities to play test cricket and that's one big chance for Rashid gone. Probably won't be looked favourably upon.

Yeah, seems extraordinary. Few of the journalists have made a similar point.

Maybe harsh as the county game started 2 days after the test. Depends on the injury, I suppose.

I went to The Oval last night to see the 2020 game against Somerset. The highlights were a pretty good hundred from Roy and an outstanding catch by Ansari to remove the dangerous Cooper. Also interesting to see the Currans operating. Young Sam looks pretty sharp for a 17 year old, but also pretty hittable in this form of the game, as his natural left arm delivery was inviting a swing of the arms outside off stump. His two wickets flattered him a bit. Older sibling Tom bowled tidily.
The bad news for grecian is that Somerset were woeful. Jamie Overton dropped two pretty straightforward catches, the first of which was when Roy hadn't made many. His bowling was pretty ordinary too, so there wasn't much evidence why he's on the fringe of the England one day squad.

If he had a cut or something like that it may have healed enough. How close was he to playing anyway?
Never know I guess.

Briggs in the Hampshire squad but dropped in favour of the rookie leggie Mason Crane.
Essex going with their nth spinner of the season who isn't Panesar. I make it Ravi Patel, Liam Dawson, Greg Smith and Nijaar have all played as spinners since Monty last played. A sad state of affairs for Monty. Hope he can turn it around.

Championship reporting in a nutshell - writer decides it's his job to advertise to Test selectors rather than talk about the match. Halfway through the report a couple of other players are mentioned, Gale isn't until an afterthought at the end and he's 127 not out.
Sad that the people whose job it is to construct a narrative to the County season don't bother
