Almost like a Ryan Sidebottom or Mark Ealham where the clubs they were at decided they were worth no more than a one year extension and they went on to have a few more golden summers.

Definitely! Letting him go was a real howler especially as we didn't sign a suitable replacement.

Might be a close finish at Lord's. Warwickshire need 96 runs with 5 wickets left. Hain and Ambrose batting.

Hain must have been on his way back to the pavilion as I typed that! 95 needed with 4 wickets left.

Northants will neat to beat the record for a 4th innings chase to win. Can't see it happening, now 48-2.

174-3 at close of play. Starting to feel slightly less pessimistic but knowing Northants a collapse is probably round the corner.

I know exactly how you feel - same is true of Durham! A collapse is almost inevitable at some stage.

Not a great day for Lancashire - defeat in double quick time this morning and then deducted a point for a slow over rate!

Bizarre Roses game, all up. Of a star-studded line-up replete with England players, ex players, not to mention Kane Williamson, none of the internationals put in a particularly good performance, apart from Bairstow's second innings.

Northants go from 227/4 to 257/7. That's the expected collapse. 57 needed.

Surprised Brett Hutton is down to bat at 10, he probably holds a bat better than any other tailender in county cricket.
