If Lees & Roy continue like this, neither of them will get a bat.

There has to be some common sense about these lunch breaks during innings.

was just thinking the exact same thing

I thought cricinfo was broken as there had been no updates then noticed they were having lunch

makes no sense to enforce these "rules" at the best of times imo let alone an A team game which I doubt is televised

I don't really value runs made in this sort of circumstance much. Chasing a substandard score with the pressure off.

depends on conditions doesn't it ?

might be nipping around all over the place on a green wicket

Well, if it is. Often it's a team getting a fresh pitch at the toss which eases up in the afternoon. Either way, there's no scoreboard pressure.

I do agree that having no pressure to score runs quickly makes a difference

still think it will be good to see if roy can make a decent score opening and maybe show he is more than just a t20 slogger

He's going at a run a ball, so that's handy.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:41 pm

Vince out for zero. We know Stokes and Patel aren't going to bat at four.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:48 pm

Stokes will be in next if the cricinfo scorecard is correct.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:55 pm

..and he is. One boundary scored off 4 balls so far.

Billings in. Maybe Plunkett will bat at seven.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 2:54 pm

Stokes out for 31 off 50 balls.

Not his greatest innings but only 2 an over needed so no need to blast it about. Very patient innings.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 2:59 pm

Billings goes. Situation perilous.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 3:08 pm

Just 23 to get now. We're in safe hands with Samit & Plunkett.
