    22/2 from the 1st 10 overs, like the old days!

    Bairstow 33 dots in 40 balls.

    He's earned the right to be there but needs to make sure now he is still there at the end!

    He's been made to look a bit one dimensional, great in the powerplay 95% of the time, but not able to change his game when facing class bowling

    The problem is that the end will be in the 23rd over

    Perhaps Bairstow is planning to carry his bat, and finish 65* with England all out for 150

    Is it too late to get my dancing gear on ?

    Rumour has it that he has already lost his Test central contract and perhaps he and Billings are trying to preserve his chance of getting a white ball one

    It's never too late for that Fanny. Just remember to keep your social distance though.

    Anyway, Golfie assured us that this game was going to be rained off so it must be on its way!

    You can see why Bairstow isn't in the Test team, as the way he's changed his game makes him brilliant in white ball cricket, T20 especially, but makes him one dimensional, either big shots or nothing. Go out there are try and hit the ball with massive power. Most of the time it comes off and he makes a lightning fast powerplay 30 odd, and if he fails in T20 it doesn't matter as all decent T20 teams have enough batsmen to bat the 20 overs anyway

    If we get to the Blast quarter finals, will we get any of the England players back? Or even before for teh last few group matches? Although we are doing ok without them

    I assume so, as Tuesday is the final England (men's game) for a long time and I can't see England preventing any of the players from playing for their counties (other than perhaps Archer and Wood?)

    Probably heard this question so many times, but how can teams get 200 odd in 20/20 but struggle to get another 100 in 30 overs ?

    Billings Ton!

    Could be an interesting last over.......


    Probably not.

    Great to have 2 Kent players making major contributions to England this summer

    Crawley's double ton cemented his place in the Test side
    Billings' ton today showed that he deserves his place in the white ball side

    Crawley in there ahead of the out of form Root or Roy would have given us a better chance! Continuity I get, but he is in such unbelievable form. Plus he might make the spot his own. Yeah he has a bad List A record whatever, it isn't about record, it's about who's going to dominate bowling attacks right now

    Why not Archer and Wood?

    Overs bowled - the ECB are extremely protective of fast bowlers and the number of overs bowled in a relatively short period of time.

    Yes, Archer has bowled in all forms of the game this summer, while Wood is quite "fragile"

    I see Chris Jordan is playing for Sussex today, with him and Robinson playing against Crawley and Denly

    I just cannot understand Cricket sometimes, 
    50 over match, England 144-7 off 39 overs after winning the toss and bat.

    231-9 50 overs
    Great effort from Rashid 35 no off 26 & T Curran 37 off 39.

    Good effort by Rashid and TC, maybe the pitch isn't that bad to bat on...

    I went off to do some gardening as could see England not making 200. Pleasantly surprised by teh last 6 overs, especially the last 3! Maybe game on?

    I thought we had very little chance, it was looking like around 180 at best.
    Great effort out of nowhere.
