I was going to say are the Phoenix going to win one .They were 140+ for 2 and they lose Ali and Ducket ln the same over .They should still set a good total 150 up with 15 balls to go.

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Surely even they can defend 185.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Set up for some chase this, 28 of 10 balls

 

[chiefdave]

Didn’t want to go to the final anyway. What a load of shit.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I think "comprehensive" best sums up that defeat.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Anyone gong to Edgbaston for the T20 on Sunday?

Plenty of tickets on the exchange Tickets for resale - Edgbaston Stadium

 

[chiefdave]

Yep, I'll be there. Just had the email from Edgbaston to say they've closed the car park 'due to unforeseen circumstances'. They really don't make it easy to attend games there these days

See that Blast finals day has been shunted to the middle of September next year, sandwiched between a couple of international games so zero chance of those players featuring

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

My Blast & Hundred membership cost £150 this season. For the same location next year, £650

Just got my Lancs renewal through, prices frozen this year. Means the most expensive "Prime" membership is £225 which makes that look even more ludicrous.

I didn’t renew and looking at the date for blast finals day looks like those games are getting dumped into September. Not quite so much fun sitting in the freezing cold

Apparently the shuttle bus from new street is free on Sunday

I like Roach as a player, but glad he didn't pick up that hat trick, well bowled though in that over after lunch

I heard they weren't sure if he was going to be fit, and were going to call up his dad as a Last Resort

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Taxi for Robinson

Taxi for Robinson

Needs to take his coaches with him as well.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Bairstow's on one, 43 from 20 so far

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Ahmed will take a lot of wickets in his career and he is lucky to have Rashid to watch and work with.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Malan needs phasing out, will Sam Hain ever get a chance?

I don’t think Hain will Brook will come back in before. Malan will make a score soon and that will buy him more time.

 

[JohnWH]

What's worth watching for D1 or D2 tomorrow, day 4, lovely live streams on YouTube

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

About bloody time

Choo choo

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Brook opening for the first ODI, that’s how they get him in then…

 

[JohnWH]

Hannon-Dalby at 7-46 with 2 in a row to all out Northants, lovely

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Loved this

'We're gonna win. You're gonna win. We're gonna win': how New Zealand all but took the 2019 World Cup title

Ian Smith, Lockie Ferguson, Ross Taylor and Shane Jurgensen look back at probably the greatest ODI ever

How bad are conditions/pitch when you're set 170 odd to win in 60 overs (via declaration) and you're 23 for 4?

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Stokes is having fun!

172 off 116 so far...

 

[CCFCSteve]

Decent knock that

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Also forgot to mention Flintoff when they showed him at the other match, really good to see him out and about and smiling. I'd read that his injuries were bad but it looks like he's had his nose rebuilt or a skint graft, and his mouth and chin still don't look great.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Exciting finish at Edgbaston

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Some club level fielding there

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Warwickshire win Burgess with a top innings and wins it with a six at the end.

 

[JohnWH]

Exciting finish at Edgbaston

Very.
That dropped catch just at the end, then a 6 to seal the win, not what I expected at all for today

Burgess suddenly worked out that he had to have a bit of a go and the boundaries started to flow. Warwickshire badly need somebody who the others can bat around.

And the spirited support of H-D in partnership, he didn't look uncomfortable in on strike during the occasional singles being taken

 

[JohnWH]

Another 5-fer for HD, hopefully tomorrow looks to be exciting

The Times are reporting on discussions taking place at the ECB are they are mental

There have already been discussions between some counties and their local football or rugby club that could lead to counties playing under different names in an attempt to harness other local sports fans. For example, Sussex could play as Brighton & Hove Albion or Durham as Newcastle United.

And a couple from the nobody could have possibly predicted this section

One area up for discussion will be whether it is sensible to continue having two short-form competitions: the T20 Blast and the Hundred. Some counties have noticed a negative knock-on impact on their Blast ticket sales because it has been squeezed into a shorter time period, meaning more games being played on the traditionally difficult to sell evenings of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

there is a belief, under the new ECB administration, that the domestic schedule as it exists does not work and the Hundred is having an enormous impact on the other domestic competitions.
