AN are streets behind the rest of us, I'm 100% sure that Gillespie has been at Yorkshire over a year.

Look at his record, I don't think you're being quite fair there. It is a one-day batting masterclass he's putting on. Bumble talking about putting the keeper right back, obviously the catches wouldn't carry - not edges anyway - but wouldn't he have to be within the circle?

I was talking more this season, out now though. Disappointing, was hoping for a ton.

And he was pottering about for much of his innings - 43 off 56 at one point - otherwise would have made his ton.

Can't wait for Moin Ashraf's parody account take on this. Dunno why Yorkshire were discussing the field towards the end - doubt they'll get within a 100 of this score.

Good to see Buttler's hit the ground running this season in time for the CL

Got point penalties in all 3 competitions for breaching the salary cap last season.
Have pretty much thrown away their advantage today against Slurry.

There are times I get frustrated with taking up my whole Saturday playing 100 overs of cricket in the cold, not bowling and scoring 5.
When Somerset pile on 338-5 in 40 overs is one of those times. Hoping a torrent can save the day.
Anyway, Buttler really is incredible. Hope the media don't hype him up too much before the CT though. Boy's still in his early days.

Ha, Willis was in his 'this boy has to be playing test cricket for england in a couple of years' and 'he needs to bat 3 or 4 in all formats of the game' form for somerset.
but still he is incredible and played some amazing shots. It reminded me a little of a good pro smashing around a village attack on the village green- just too easy for the most part.

To be fair to RGDW I've been banging the "Jos 4 tests" gong for some time.
What's easy to ignore amidst all the funky scoops and ramps and such is that he plays straight and has a very solid basic technique. Taylor, who people talked up as a possible for the first NZ test, has far more glaring flaws in his basic MO.

Only reason I mentioned Taylor as a possible was because he scored a ton and a 90 back to back and Bairstow hadn't scored any runs. The big ton last week ended that discussion.
