Got to assume he was no injured and only to bat in an emergency.

That's what I was thinking. A big hitter like him would have been much more use up the order. Unless the Northants coach rang Jon Lewis for advice on limited overs batting orders.

Highest aggravate number of runs for a one-day game in England according to Sky news.

Turns out he injured his wrist earlier.

Yeah but Jon wasn't terribly clear " Hmm, could be , not sure, possibly". Thanks Jon.

Levi is in my fantasy team, and I know he has missed games recently with injury

That Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire game is one of those ones that the scorecard tells you more than reams and reams of articles.

Have to assume that the boundary rope was 2 yards away from the inner circle.

Proper village cricket. I'll be playing an evening friendly at a ground where one side of the boundary is five yards away from the square.

They talk about changing the schedule of the cricket to let players rest but this period is pretty frenetic. Essex and Gloucestershire have played two games on consecutive days and the same is about to happen with other teams. There seems to be an indecent haste to get these 50 over games out of the way, as one might with unruly children before the arrival of rich Aunt Agatha.

Yet there's no mention of it in the cricinfo report.

A great way of describing it. I agree they mostly seem to be randomly slotted into the schedule. Keep having to double check if an upcoming game is 20 or 50 overs.

Willey's back already.

Hard, like his father.

Whoops, just realised what I've typed there.
