    I just had a look & there are plenty of tickets left.
    I could go, but I know it will **** down, if I do.

    I got tickets last week from axs. There were lots of different ticket outlets selling tickets for this game. I thought it was a bit strange as I thought you'd only be able to get them directly from the oval/Surrey website!

    Can David Willey play tomorrow, just smashed 24 off of a Dilshan over. Bowled nicely earlier as well?

    I believe he can, but unlikely to play.

    21 ball 50, he has been released just for tonight so you are right, and like you say, can't see him coming in, even though he could replace Jordan without effecting the balance of the team.

    Me too with Seb and a couple of old work colleagues though will probably have to assess the storm front along the way!

    England unchanged - NZ win toss and bat.

    Good. Bearing in mind the possible rain interuptions later, I think they made the wrong call.

    Batting 2nd we can adjust ourselves, knowing our possibly changing targets & NZ will have to bowl with a wet ball.

    (NZ will now score more than 400 & totally thrash us).

    Agreed. McCullum admitted he decided wrongly to field in the first ODI and he might well have done so again.

    Hmm, Baz just starting to get going. Ominous

    No idea about Baz, but McCallum is thrashing Finn & Jordan all round the park.

    England, back to bowling too short (as per). Pitch it up you useless *******s.

    I think Prior is doing well, adding some decent insight.

    It's a warm up for the Ashes when he is going to be in the co-commentating with KP.

    Buttler and Billings are the future.

    I think Buttler's making quite a good case that he's the one for right now.

    That's not to say that Buttler (or Billings for that matter) won't play as a batsman alone. Certainly, as we've seen in this last ODI, there is room for two (or more) keepers.

    As long as they are batsmen first and foremost. And that is the case in the modern game because any County player who isn't capable of batting in the top six simply won't play. The likes of a modern day Bob Taylor wouldn't even get a trial in a county set up.
    And as if to illustrate the point, Surrey in their most recent CC match had no less than five keepers in their team - Wilson, Burns, Foakes, Sangakkara and Davies albeit that the last named has now permanently given up the gloves.
    This is a fair point but with Surrey only really Wilson and Foakes can be considered keepers! As you say Davies has given up the gloves, burns hasn't regularly kept since youth cricket and has only done it occasionally in second xi games and is not considered good enough! And sanga has said he doesn't want to keep whilst at Surrey! But yes the point still stands so this is an entirely pointless post!

    Well, they say double the score after 30 overs is a good guide.
    NZ were 210-2 after 30.

    I was replying to his point about keepers being batsman first! But then came to the conclusion my post was pointless anyway! Sorry! :p

    And in answer to your question it is rare if I'm not on the sauce!!

    NZ 228-2 off 33.3 .
    England will feel pleased if they keep them below 370.

    18 off Jordans over - he's running at circa 9 an over, i've always said it , but he doesnt have 'it' - incredible slip fielder , but just a dobba bowler and no batting.
