Thought Olly Stone was injured, good to see him taking wickets.

Not really expecting that from Jack Brooks, but hey I'll take it.

my word some of those scorecards...

and middlesex not falling over in a heap. end times. still a 5-7 of andersson, simpson and harris is uhhhhh interesting.

Bresnan and Sidebottom bowling together on the scorecard threw me for a moment there.

Didn't realise this was referring to the other Ryan Sidebottom, the Aussie who's been at Warwickshire for a while.

Fun fact: he has a brother named Steele.

 

[Burgey]

Didn’t know he was debuting today, excellent. Played against Jack, decent bowler, loves a moan on the pitch, but good lad off it!

Did very well in his couple of years out here. Bowled well in the final too, the Wiz.

Craig Overton starting the season well. Might be my imagination but it seems like he is running in that bit harder, and getting it down a touch quicker in the highlight clips i've seen. Certainly something he'll need if he wants to be a test cricketer. He batted above Van der Merwe yesterday too so maybe working on his batting game.

Was hoping to see a bit of Will Smeed for Somerset this season but alas not this week. Talented young bat.

Good Start from Worcester. Good to see Libby scoring some runs on his debut

Makes a change to actually be scoring runs.

Mason Crane not being hot garbage is an interesting development

Ditto Hameed.

 

[Starfighter]

Are there highlights for these anywhere?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

ECB website has a fair few assorted highlights

 

[Flem274*]

this is on youtube! how good

all the games?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

So what game should I watch I wonder? Any suggestions?

EDIT: went for Sussex V Hampshire. Second ball I saw young offie Jack Carson bowls a very good one to dismiss noted ex Cricket Superstar winner Ian Holland

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Also, this Henry Crocodile bloke looks odd with his circa 2005 Kevin Pietersen hair

To the Overtons, Craig looks like he has gained pace, but Jamie seems to have lost a bit.

C Overton and Robinson both look better bowlers than last year. Shame for their sake that they have to get past Anderson, Broad and Woakes to get in the England side.

Seems to be a few of the big bowlers who are slip catchers these days. I notice Jamie Overton has 3 slip catches in this current game, Craig O also a slipper. Garton has a couple of catches too in the slips.

Keeping a keen eye on Matthew Fisher at Yorkshire again. Looks good. Definite England potential. Can move the ball both ways at good pace. Accurate, tall, decent action. Noticeable how his pace has dropped as the game has gone on. Action remains the same just doesn't have the fitness in the legs and body to keep running it at this stage in his injury blighted career. Hope he gets a Lions tour this winter.

JOverton gets Charlie Hemphrey with a bouncer caught and bowled.

I remember him him bounced out by Scott Boland of all people once back in his Queensland days. Not keen on the short one, that's for sure

Durham came back from 100 runs behind to 200/2 before collapsing. Lost 7-30 and only a few slogs from Rushworth got them up to a 170 target.

Not sure the twists are done up there.
