Exactly , Sussex. Runs are not easy in the CC, hardly anyone gets over 1000 in a sea on these days. Sibley has two seasons in a row, and has won a CC to boot. So why does he look so exposed at this level?

Is the standard of CC bowling that bad? But if so, why aren't more players scoring big?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Starting 30m earlier today to make up for time lost to weather.

Leach has gastroenteritis.

You obviously never seen the Andy Flower cookbook.

[Durhamfootman]

not sure I want to, tbh

pretty sure there would be loads of opportunities to come up with some fun, pun recipes, if only I had the wit to think of any...... why I'm not a script writer, I suppose

I reckon fluffy and GJ could come up with some good ones

Jimmy's pulled ham(string) and egg salad for lunch on day 1

'just bang it in shortbread' for the tea interval when England are bowling

(I'm straining my brain cells now)

[Durhamfootman]

but there must be loads

[Arthur Crabtree]

No wickets in the extra half hour. No alarms.

but there must be loads

Root only has won ton this year?

[Arthur Crabtree]

As does his partner Burns?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Must be a wicket coming.

[yuppie]

Seems easy enough so far for these 2.

[Alviro Patterson]

I would pay serious money to see Daryl Mitchell of New Zealand, bowling at Daryl Mitchell of Worcestershire CCC

[Arthur Crabtree]

Fifty up for Rory. Having been dropped twice.
