SAQ Mahmood bowling well, which is nice to see . around 85mph pretty decent

Yeah, a couple of deliveries to Bethel were unplayable, even if he did take some tap later on. And obviously it was a joy watching Zampa's performance.

Beyond that, I suspect that someone needs to explain to younger viewers exactly who of what JLS are.

Sockless Dinesh Kartik, nice shirt and trousers though and those shoes look the job

controversial



just want to add that Dinesh Kartik is one of my favourites that Sky have on comms in an English summer

Jacks and Malan opening for Oval

 

[CartyDurham]

Nice ball by southee to get jacks edge

10 for 1 off 9

It was, but I don't think Jacks was terriby interested in getting in line after that toe-crusher from Milne.

First time I’ve seen this lad from Kent Muyeye. Cricinfo has him down as a middle order batsman but he is displaying some good technique

review. I think it’s high, it’s umpires call so bumble junior was correct

Malan has not faced a ball yet

 

[trundler]

I like the look of Muyeye.

Southee should be banned for that celebrappeal. Obnoxious.

He's made runs against Surrey before. Opening the innings, iirc.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I will never appreciate the way they present the score

cheers . kiss of death . I was about to post it would be good to see him bat through and he chips one to mid off

shame but hopefully I see more of him as this competition goes on

 

[CartyDurham]

140 might have given us a good game here

 

[CartyDurham]

Malan nailed that one, square on the offside

 

[CartyDurham]

Is it fair to say that Billings hasn’t really delivered on the talent he has ?

Not just that, it’s that the guys coming from behind him are much more talented than him. If he works hard on his potential, maybe then he can be at their level.

Agreed. I think international honours are unlikely now for him, as there are younger players who have shown a greater quality

He is 33, so it's unlikely to happen now. And obviously he was never as good as Buttler and Bairstow anyway.

Sheesh. I thought he was a kid.
Anyways, he is 6 off 13 and looks completely out of water. I will not discuss him any further.

 

[CartyDurham]

Knight is on dangerous ground trying to interview kids

“who is your favourite player “. “ I don’t know”

who do you want to win? The Ovals

ecb millions have landed with that lad

 

[GIMH]

Feel like Oval have batted poorly. As Carty said, we could have had a game on here if Brum hadn’t had such a disastrous start

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bro is teeing off now.
