Forgot about the fantasy team and left with 5 batsmen, 1 allrounder and 1 bowler. Miraculously winning after day one but that won't last.
Only two teams surviving the day despite a smattering of teams choosing to bat first, and that's only thanks to Norwell top scoring at number 10 for Warks and Cook's brilliant 125. Another ton for Phil Salt too, Sussex already leading Glamorgan despite Glamorgan batting first!

Tons during this round should be worth double. Very cloudy all of a sudden, with a proportionate increase in wickets.

Feeling sorry for everyone sat in the sun at Cheltenham while the day gets called off due to rubbish covers

Gloucs should have the book thrown at them for that really.

I remember that Somerset did that last season, and got off because a freak storm ripped off the covers. I don’t know if something like that happened to Gloucs., but I’m inclined to be lenient until proven otherwise.
When proven otherwise THROW THE F**CKING BOOK AT THEM

In these or similar cases we typically see the offending home team being docked points, fair enough, but the away team getting no compensation for lost points, or the opportunity to win points. Would it be better to see any docked points given to the away team - maybe a system which would say if this game got canned from here on out, Gloucs lose all their bonus points and Lancs gain them

Just realised there is a live stream of the Yorks Hants game on....do I put myself through the pain of watching us collapse....you bet your ass I will. Expect tears and moaning from me today.

lonely on here today :-(
forgot to do my fantasy cricket changes like a numptie like a few others, turns out my accidental captain choice of Labuschange is inspired! Sadly, my oppo looks to have done the same accidental skipper choice and we're currently locked in a titanic battle as top 2 scorers this week. Typical really, I don't half ship some points in fantasy cricket!

Took Alistair Cook out of fantasy team last week. As captain too. On course for a century in each innings against Kent this week. Good times.

Now it's raining feel i can comment without fear of jinxing Yorks....did not expect to be net 150/3 around tea time today....if we could bat in our 1st innings like we have in our 2nd innings we'd be quite the team.....

Ballance now has seven centuries (one double) against Hampshire in 11 innings. This latest ton was inevitable. Very frustrated he's still on my fantasy bench (yorks didn't play last week)
