Could be as Milburn came from Co. Durham and David Steele from the Potteries I believe.

I agree The Beeb probably were referring to county of birth.Yeah i googled em both before suggesting it. Tbf, on this occasion, BBC did say from
Problem is when talking about cricketers being from a particular county most cricket followers would assume that they meant the County for whom they played.

Indeed. Quoted the BBC cricket website. Took it at face value

so much more enjoyable watching Jos Buttler against a white ball
oddish looking England line up and order mind
This again! Well batted Jos
Would like to see Banton get a go at the top rather than in the middle order
Good to see Archer back close to his best early on today too

Brilliant from Buttler again. Building a tidy little record as an opener in T20's now, averaging 51 from 11 innings with 5 fifties. Built the innings today superbly, accelerated at the right times, hit the big shots when he needed to, superb stuff.
Agree on Banton too - should be opening and with Bairstow looking totally out of knick I'd get him up there and either move Bairstow down or bring Billings in to replace him.

Some effort from Ed Smith to send Buttler home for a few days to allow him to give Denly a game

90 for Ian Bell in his last FC innings. Couldn't have written a better end. I'm sure it was a beautiful innings filled with attractive shots that ultimately fell short of 3 figures with him tamely chopping onto his stumps. Couldn't have been more of an Ian Bell ending if he tried. Great career, superb player to watch, always had a soft spot for Ian Bell. I don't know why I remember it so fondly, but Bell's 60* in a T20i to guide us to victory just sticks in my brain, played some beautiful shots that day and I thought he'd be nailed on as a T20i opener for a while after that but it never happened for him in that format.
Has Rashid ever had a better run of form? Bowling beautifully tonight, his googly has been close to unplayable.
Aussies imploding again.

Aussies making hard work or a run a ball chase, HTEHB
Be in real trouble if Bairstow or Malan could catch

same old england, back to the script rather than watching whats happening, keep bowling the spinners!!!!!
Intelligent batting from Australia. One big over off Wood and some iffy fielding cost England.

sooooooo frustrating, Aussies were trying hard to choke again and we bowl pace to Mitch Marsh when hes played no cricket for 6 mths! Moeen had to keep himself on

England were poorer in the field today than of late which did't help but not a great performance at the end. Still its a series win

Malan's moved to #1 in the ICC T20i batting rankings. Should be no doubting his place in this side now.

certainly earned his place, not convinced hes batting in the right spot still though (applies to quite a few of them)

Essex v Somerset for the Bob Willis Trophy then, get the feeling it might be Somersets year sadly (as long overdue as it is)

I see England are seriously considering Adil Rashid for the winter tours.
When was the last time he bowled more than 4 overs in a game and with a red ball?
Ed obviously has a new pet now that Butler has cracked it....

plan A of getting Simon Harmer a passport having failed it seems theres no plan B!
Bess been hugely underwhelming and Leach played little cricket (and may not travel currently) leaves a very very bare cupboard for a sub continent tour if it takes place this winter, no doubt meaning a return to Rashid and/or Ali
Not watched as much domestic cricket as I usually do but struggling to think of another credible option (a quick scan down the wickets chart from the Bob Willis Trophy gives me names like Amir Virdi and Mason Crane)
As much as I love a good Ed Smith bashing session, not sure he really has much choice this time round

Seems no TV Coverage of the Bob Willis Trophy final sadly, premier league double headers clearly take priority
