The Cricket Thread

Super knock from Fuller.

 

That's annoying. That run out might cost us 10-15 runs.

 

Well surely we'll defend 328 against this Sussex line up.

 

Gubbins can do no wrong

 

Obvious securing the win is the most important thing. But coming away with a healthy NRR improvement would be no bad thing - as we well know, it could come down to that.

 

Gubbins might just be the greatest all-rounder in the history of cricket.

Or at least today at the Bowl.

 

And well done to the women. Two from two.

 

Nick Gubbins: allrounder extraordinaire!

 

Can he play football?

 

Probably, but would you want to run around with 'Gubbins' on the back of your football shirt?

 

If he did, he’d probably be doing it for Chelsea.

 

Fair play to us. Dawson indeed straight out.

Absolutely nothing against him at all. But the competition for the top three places is seriously tough, and that means needing to make quick, decisive decisions and not carrying players who you don't intend to fully utilise.

I'm not surprised to see Overton in. I always had him down as Archer's replacement.

 

Why on earth have we opened with Briggs?

 

Somerset v Somerset here.

 

I love all these country-country or county-county match-ups (eg Overton v Banton).

 

Banton protecting Bairstow from Overton.

 

Needed that from Overton.

 

Boom

 

Got him!

 

OK I’m supporting the Brave for this one then…
