Worst bowler in English t20.

No Ingram. No Burns/Marsh.

That's a brilliant win for Glamorgan.

Year of the t20 underdog? Quite possible that Surrey, Hants, Essex, Northants, Notts and Birmingham - all t20 big hitters - could all fail to make the QFs.

Durham (Jets!) still ahead of Yorks with two games in hand. Don't think Durham fans will have anything to complain about.

not in this format.

chance for Durham to go top on Thurs, so they'll probably have a 'mare against the worst team in the group

stiff test on Friday away to Worcs..... men and boys separating stuff

last appearance for Tahir, so flying blind from next week

But actively deciding to use one of your two overseas slots on a fast bowler is criminal.

No idea what Somerset were thinking of, picking up Taylor.

he might have been reading this, brendy

5-15 against your boys

you might have upset him

shambolic start from Sussex

not sure 27-4 at the end of the PP was in the script

nor the wicket maiden for the 6th over.... which borders on the criminal

Anyone can take wickets against us this season.

Although in fairness to Taylor, he was impressive. Pretty much every ball he bowled was either in the block hole or flying past the chin. The ball to get Alsop first ball would get out many batters in any format of cricket, as he desperately tried to sway out of the way of it. (The other four wickets were gifted to him, but he got the Alsop wicket.)

Bowling fast is fine when your as accurate as that. Zero width whatsoever, aide from nailing the very occasional wide yorker.

#youbears face trips to each of the other bottom 4 sides over the next 4 days. 3 wins will give them 11 points from 10 games, and an outside chance of reaching the knockouts...

...this will require a distinct improvement in performance from the last 3 games !!

Worse than a thrashing for Yorks.

Derbyshire have the fastest bowling attack in the North Division, if not the whole competition. Riaz, Ferguson, Viljoen absolutely rapid and gave little away. Chasing 10rpo+ from the off was a fruitless task, though the batting order was all wrong in this situation. Brook should have batted at 3 to keep things ticking over, then let Ballance, Bresnan and Willey tee off.

Getting our arses kicked tonight :/ made 135-9 Chopra made 43

In reply somerset are 91-0 after 7 overs!!! :/

Myburgh going mental

Another one who was poor at Durham but suddenly improved when he left.

What exactly were Essex doing, to only score 135 at Taunton?

Myburgh or no Myburgh, that's the best part of 100 under par.

Even we managed to make 181.

10 wicket defeat
