    Not sure why we're still batting
    Billings is captain and he wants to get 100, on 90 at the moment

    Some bloke called Darren at the other end, I bet the Yorkshire bowlers are delighted to see him out there again!
  • At tea we are 489 runs ahead and Billings is on 99*. Given the chance to make it 3 hundreds in 3 innings I doubt that he will be declaring during the break!

    Slightly selfish to delay the declaration, but understandable, especially as we're midtable anyway and probably have enough time to bowl them out

    Three and a half sessions should be enough. Any longer than that and our bowlers may not feel any kind of pressure.

    Having some sort of incentive to still perform in pressure situations despite being comfortably mid table can only benefit us next season.
  • The lead is now 505. Do we want to win this game?
  • Stevens is out but we still send Rayner in

    28 overs left, lose two for the dec. gives us two decent goes with the new ball.

  • Rayner run out but a lead of 513 not considered enough with Podmore sent to the crease
  • Set 550 to win.

    release Stevens ? .. ridiculous .. at age 99 and 1/2 he's still better than the majority of county players 1/4 of his age ((:>) .. he should be retained on the coaching/inspirational staff .. I REALLY hope that this happens

    Would it be worth replacing Bairstow for Billings on one of the tour?
  • Well done Sam.
    I was sitting down in my house in Cape Town last night to watch the Caribbean 20 over comp. (whatever that is called), and there is Hardus Nails playing for St Lucia Zouks , i think, and he scored a few runs but got smacked around by Evin Lewis.
    Also playing was Laurie Evans , who was described as the 'in form man'.

    You can see Billings captaining an A tour or being called up for the next white ball squads, especially if Root is rested
  • Last games of season -Somerset Essex for title and Kent Hants for 3rd
