Yes, should have been a formality but I should have known it wouldn't be that straightforward!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sorted! Two runs is plenty.

[Durhamfootman]

2 runs is just about enough

[Durhamfootman]

top of the table

it won't last

I imagine that we've now peaked and from hereon in it will be a T20 style terminal slide

I saw the start of the second innings. Campbell looked pretty good and impressed both commentators- David Fulton and an Australian I hadn't heard of so suspect he is a journalist as opposed to ex-player.

For me, this competition is about blooding youngsters and I've been very impressed by Campbell, Doneathy and Trevaskis.
Bancroft hasn't done it in all 3 forms,very disappointing. Aussies season commences 11th September so presumably he won't be available for the CC so hopefully we can find a more productive replacement.
