Middlesex opening bowler, Ethan Bamber (the son of two well known actors), played for Adelaide University in the winter in the South Australia Cricket League. He was signed as a replacement for Wes Agar who moved to Northern Districts where, on occasions, he opened the bowling with Jas Singh.0

Excellent stream from Lord's as it isn't the usual fixed camera

Blimey - the strip one side is a chip for six and on the other it's a marathon to the boundary!0

Crawley bowled by one of those pesky ageing medium pacers, 41 year old Tim Murtagh, through the gate for 11

DBD caught at slip off the bowling of Bamber for 6

Compton 27*0 -
Leaning out. Another caught in the slips, this time off Higgins. Compton the only one to stand firm at present.

Jordan cox out now, how many bloody times have I seen that kid leave a ball only to be bowled ?1

And Bamber bowls Cox for a duck
48-4
The likes of Muyeye and Finch should be licking their lips at the prospect of playing first team cricket1 -
Indeed in P & P and many other films and TV series. And Ethan is a much better cricketer than his old manLeuth said:

Down the slope too. It's not as if he's never played at Lord's either.000__Jaaaaay__000 said:Jordan cox out now, how many bloody times have I seen that kid leave a ball only to be bowled ?1 -

Compton 29*0 -
Billings is trying to play games with Bamber's line. Off stump guard and hitting two balls from outside off to leg - first one is a leading edge for two through the covers and the second one is dispatched for four0

66-4 off 28 overs at lunch
Compton 29* (80)
Billings 12* (30)0 -
Starting to think he should be the one dropped for muyeye? have Kent got it in them to drop a squad favourite? Think I have seen him shoulder arms to a delivery three times this season nowAddick Addict said:

DBD is pushing Cox in that respect. Cox has 88 from 5 innings and DBD 131 from 6. Of course, we also have Denly waiting in the wings for a potential recall. Much will depend on what those two do in the second innings.000__Jaaaaay__000 said:

And Billings out LBW doing exactly that to a ball from Murtagh for 14Addick Addict said:Billings is trying to play games with Bamber's line.

You can add Billings to those two - total of 61 runs from 5 inningsAddick Addict said:

And Leaning for that matter - 119 runs for 5 times outAddick Addict said:

Muyeye surely has to play the next match, the way the middle order keeps failingAddick Addict said:And Bamber bowls Cox for a duck

Evison caught behind to give Bamber figures of 3-14
92-6
Compton 37* (123)0 -
The most surprising thing for me is that, when Compton scored a shedload of runs for our 2s a few seasons ago, we didn't sign him at that time. Where would we have been without his runs and ability to occupy the crease whatever the conditions last season and this?0

Presumably the weather conditions are favouring the bowlers but our top order are dreadful, bordering on disgraceful.0

If you to look at the lifetime stats for Crawley, Denly, DBD, Cox, Billings and Leaning and had to choose from that whether they were better white or red ball batsman I'm sure most would say white. And therein lies the problem. If you were to use the same criteria for Compton you would come to the opposite conclusion. The former are too loose when the ball is doing anything and their technique does not stand up to scrutiny especially when there is movement on and off the pitch.sillav nitram said:Presumably the weather conditions are favouring the bowlers but our top order are dreadful, bordering on disgraceful.2 -
Early tea due to bad light

Compton 38* (127)
Stewart 16* (20)0 -
this is a game I have as a must win, so this performance is abject.
You watch their top order become Bradmanesque as well2 -

Just to rub salt in the wounds, Ollie Robinson gets a hundred for durham. Oh how I wish he had stayed over billings/cox !3
