They’re happening! These ones are even first-class! And Sir Alastair Cook is batting!
Durham are two down already. Great start. 😒

Ah, student hunting season. Huge fan of both Sir Chef and James Hildreth smashing 150 first class runs against them, and the Madswagon firing up too.

Meanwhile Eskinazi retired out on 123. And that’s why he’ll never be a great of the game.
Durham were toss, as usual.

Ooh hang on a second, Hildreth is batting three. If this is a trend, then maybe the England ship hasn't sailed (although its pulled up the anchor and is making some pretty loud chugging noises).

Goodness knows Westley hasn’t made his case...

Ravi Rampaul also taking the opportunity to pad his average. You wouldn’t have thought he needed much padding...

Somerset win by a massive 568 runs, 6 wickets for Craig Overton and 4 for Josh Davey.

Some first class averages beautifully padded there.

Somerset trying too hard to win there, clearly, rather than let all their bowlers have a go. Missed the point entirely.

Haseeb Hameed has a fifty. Start of an epic comeback storyline that ends up with him challenging Paul Allott to a Hell in a Cell?

For all the talk of Roy batting in the top 3 in Tests, I genuinely don't think he gets into Surrey's strongest XI. Particularly when Elgar arrives
Burns Stoneman Borthwick Elgar Pope Foakes (wk)
is a pretty solid top 6. I suppose you could make a case for using Borthwick/Elgar to cover the spin options and just have Roy+4 seamers, but Jacks/Virdi +4 seamers gives more options. With Jacks you don't even lose out on batting depth.
