Overton has to be up there with one of the worst test match performances ever his selection along with Bethell has cost us massively in that test

Should have been chasing about 220

Didn't expect us to win it after their second knock but to get into such a strong position and then throw the match away is very disappointing.

Might've even launched the remote out of the patio door

Did not watch it as at work.. but saw titbits on cricinfo and social. When Woaks came out, i decided to fire up my Sky app on iPad...
It had been updated and about 15 tries to log in ... sending email links, passcodes and other nonsense.

Finally got thru, but it was into presentation time

Astonishing stats for an astonishing series that was billed to be a English thumping of a young Indian side .. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1FxkBcozBo/

County cricket getting shafted again by the ECB (soon to be BCCI) with the One Day Cup (once a prestigious comp) starting with weakened teams due to the 100 starting at the same time.

Yep only for the last 3 years now

Counties didn’t care because they got a nice bribe for the Hundred

Perhaps the best written description of the Oval final day.. what a match and what a write up … Go ahead and relive it …

Southern Brave by 1 wicket. Reece Topley hit the winning runs with a ball to spare

In other news … (or we just blame BCCi)

The Hundred could be SCRAPPED with crunch talks to be held within weeks — The Sun

Premier League owner bought one of the Hundred teams THE HUNDRED could reportedly be axed and replaced by a new Twenty20 competition next year. A possible change to the 100-ball setup is going to be discussed when the board meet in October. The Hundred could be scrapped in favour of a T20 format...

Listening to The Hundred on 5L Extra. The commentator so nearly said, "Willey with a lovely length," but managed to stop himself.
Very disappointing.

Quality knock from baby Rew yesterday for Somerset to beat Durham as well.

Also; got 6500 in for a (supposedly) second string competition that gets no national promotion or exposure. Shows what County Cricket can do when done right.

In case you think that was a fluke; the SOLD OUT signs are already up for Somerset vs Lancs tomorrow.

Saw the highlights and it was such a mature performance and some lovely fluid shots

James imo should be the test WK

And if Tom matures to be as good as people think then he could be a future top 4 for England - he can also be behind the stumps as well

It is the only good thing about the joke that is the Hundred , it’s giving the young lads the chance

Another two cracking last ball games in the Women’s Hundred today.

Was hoping Georgia could see the Fire over the line , play golf with her dad

Surprised they lost, looked like they were cruising most of the way.

We may have lost but it’s great to see a full house
