I can only think Bethall has something on McCullum

Must be his 14 runs in 3 Hundred matches this season that swung the decision

The fact the selectors can’t go west will help the best ODI and T20 county

Some of the most ridiculous 6s you’ll ever see from Harry Brook in the Hundred tonight, from the ground on his back over the wicket keeper’s head to a no look flick over square leg from outside off stump - astonishing stuff.

Long may it continue. Already lost Banton for the T20 QF due to Eng selection. Don’t want to lose any more. Most important match of the season … as I live 200 miles away so can’t see many games, but do like my annual Finals Day trip to watch the West’s finest! I see the BBC also haven’t noticed that Bants is a wk - and a better one than Phil Salt IMO!

That's a great knock from Perrin and still going

Great innings. Litchfield is exceptional as well, her switch hitting is remarkable. Hopefully a good final tomorrow.

Poor cricket from the England white ball side at the moment.

Terrible

Jumped the gun there, should have said very poor cricket from England.

another failure for Bethell

And Bethell didn’t play very well either

To say nothing of almost everyone else.

And from several others but let's make it all about one man.

He is constant failure with an England shirt , it’s a joke he gets selected - he isn’t good and never will be good enough , he is some pet project

And you have no idea what you are talking about.

And you have no idea what you are talking about.

Or I have an opinion about a player who has been poor at all formats for England bar the odd fleeting innings

Bethell is rubbish - no idea how he has been made captain against Ireland

He is the next golden boy of the ranks that will disappoint
