Stokes should stop playing T20 cricket for England....it'll help with his health and fitness, and let's face it, he's not actually that good a T20 player as opposed to test and Odis where he is outstanding.

V much looking forward to Harry brook debuting for England at 3 this summer and making sack all runs compared to when he bats 5 or 6 for York's....

The Stokes attitude was catching this game. Excellent second innings from Durham, shame about the draw it'll peter out into.

Another round of championship cricket with half the games heading for draws and some horrible roads out there. A real shame.

Another round of championship cricket with half the games heading for draws and some horrible roads out there. A real shame. Eh, I'm not sure I absolutely hate it. Make teams prioritise attacking bowling - should lead to more spinners and more variety of bowling, right? I don't want Sri Lanka style 600/4d plays 750/9d, but nobody in this round has gone past 465. Obviously if there's a bit of weather around you're in trouble, but I think the balance is pretty close to right. Edit: I'm not including the one at Canterbury mind! Edit 2: I missed that Durham scored 550 because who in their right mind checks a Durham scorecard when looking for big scores? Special circumstances apply there though!

Road at Hove producing a decent finale at least too! (just not if you're a bowler)

Road at Hove producing a decent finale only because of an aggresive declaration, without which you'd have had 4 out of 6 games drawn, weather not a factor with 2 games having only 20 wickets taken and the other 2 26 and 27, I don't necessarily hate it, I just find it a real shame that it makes county cricket a bit boring, I mean, you look at Essex's 3 home games so far this year, all draws, 20, 21 and 29 wickets taken.....at a time when some high profile people are looking to kill off county cricket it's not a good look

Yes there's Stokes for this round but Durham have quietly been producing big scores on the regular, and then letting the opposition make them too.

Bizarrely Kent at the time of writing still doing the best of any first division side bowling! The 4 away sides are all batting first and combine for 2056-22 (93.5 rpw). Will be interesting to see how many convert into borefests, I'll go for 3 draws
