Should probably support Glos here - three Oxfordshire connections in the team (Young, Taylor, Batty).
Not quite the same game as yesterday, though.

FFS Sky. How about giving some credit to the bloke who tweeted you to tell you who the Impi were?
Plagiarising bastards.

Who else is that sad?!
It's not actually a robelinda - but you can have a look here if you want to.
I'm interested as to what other sports/etc Mills did pre-13.

Absolutely. Swart just gone after hitting a maiden 100 at better than a run a ball.

Basketball and rugby IIRC, suppose the height lends itself to both. The PE teacher at his school (whose name escapes me) is a massive cricket fan and introduced him to the game.
I'll ask next time I see his captain, if you're interested.

Well as you probably know, I don't think "natural talent" is a particularly valid descriptor. Size and prevalence of fast-twitch muscle fibres are a significant contributory factor but the biggest factor in consistency of execution, i.e. repeatability, and that can only ever come from thorough deep practice.
Right, let's have a watch of his bowling. Not entirely sure I am that impressed: fairly ugly action and doesn't look at all repeatable: this over has been all over the shop and you can't do that at this stage of the game. It's a bit reminiscent of Sohail Tanvir in terms of exploding onto the scene and then fading away, as well as being heavily T20/OD specialist. I wonder what his injury record might be like. Doesn't look like Kane Williamson rates him either...
Feel free to bookmark this post if he ever turns out good.

Jack Taylor last time out - 97 off 48 v Glamorgan 2s - a decent advert for Oxfordshire's youth system too.

Netherlands hoist the 300 in the final over. Some of the gloss taken off by the fact that none of the runs was scored by an actual Dutchman, though it ill behoves an England fan to point that out. At least the bowling is pretty much home-grown, including Ahsan Malik or M Jamil as he sometimes appears.
And tbf to Bukhari he's never played any first-class or List A cricket in Pakistan, so it's fair to assume he's been settled in the Netherlands for quite a few years.

What are we thinking about Master Taylor's action then? Far old bit of elbow in there to my eyes...

It's absolutely horrific, isn't it?
Wish commentators would have the guts to call it when you see it on the slo-mo like we did there.
