Just when you think England have all the problems, Yorks rock up at Scarbados to put thing in perspective, fucking hell.....we really need to go down, we just don't have the players to compete at this level any more. If Brooks knacks off as is expected, and if we continue to bring in poor batting overseas players we'll have nothing at all. How Bresnan got a new contract when he is in the most horrible run of form, in all formats, is beyond me. If Gale survives the season i'll be well and truly shocked.

Dunno who it was around here who said, 'A weak and wobbly Yorkshire is a weak and wobbly England.' Correlation doesn't imply causation, but...

Fascinating final days in prospect at Taunton & The Oval. Could blow the title race wide open... or more or less end it.

Moeen has just struck twice in an over. 2/40, 219 and currently 6/39 his match performance so far.
Also, Durham won! I hadn't noticed.

I see Phil Salt has been making hay for Sussex in the past week. One that got away for Glamorgan...

Tres drops Nick Browne approaching the 90s after Browne refused to do the same to him on 95. What a gent.
(Caught same man next ball mind)

8-89 and 219 for Moeen. Not a bad week’s work.
In for a recall?
I recall he got a 6-fer for England vs India in the last test at the ageas bowl...

How many positions has Moeen not batted in for England? Must have a shot at completing the set?

I've not tried a jinx for quite a while, but Essex are batting brilliantly here and the pitch has settled right down.

Fair to say Middlesex and Somerset are out of it?

Lawrence b Leach 21
I am not proud.
And apparently, Ravi Bopara has shingles of all things.

...you’re a bit proud though.
That said, Northants. lost one as well, so I’m taking credit for them both thank you very much.

Leach bowling exceptionally... Bess not looking himself. New ball taken, Lewis Gregory has been off the field all day so we might see Leach take the new ball.
