Josh Hull called up to England Lions v Sri Lanka 14-17 August. His first class figures this year are 1-232 off 45 overs! 

They just pick players they like the look of these days. Must be a few top performers this season feeling a bit annoyed they've not got a look in.

Yeah Key likes him because he can bowl 90mph+. However his red ball length is in need of development to put it lightly. I think he would be justified a limited overs call up for sure but his red ball stuff is not there yet and if it’s a flat deck, then Sri Lanka have the batting ability to destroy him.

That and him being a left armer.

I get it I really do, i mean he dwarfs me and I'm 6ft 4 and he has wheels I really do get it. 

 

However your almost saying CC doesn't matter its not important what you do its individuals we want and we are recruiting them regardless of form or statistics. 

 

Bashir is playing Tests 2s and Club cricket at the moment. Which is is bonkers really. Plus doing well! I'm not knocking him. 

 

You just wonder about the entire set up. 

 

Shame he can't play the one day as 100 is teaching him nothing.

Yeah Bashir and Crawley (after a rocky start) both seem to be making a good fist of Test cricket without having first excelled at County level, especially the former whose done really well straight away though Crawley has done really well to his credit since McCullum came in.

 

Probably eventually be used as some sort of narrative of how County cricket fails to develop players but the mighty England staff can identify and develop them anyway. "Josh Hull marooned at little old backwards Leicestershire but an arm round the shoulder from Rob Key turns him into world beater".

 

There is a lot to like about Hull to be fair but he's not done anything so far to suggest he isn't a white ball specialist. Needs overs in the format though so hopefully won't hurt.

Championship hasn't mattered for ages really has it, James Hildreth being a prime example

Unless I'm mistaken we can lose Sunday and it's still in our hands?

We'd have to give Gloucs one hell of a pasting if we lose Sunday. Like bowl them out and knock the runs off in 6 overs.

 

Edit: no we wouldn't and I'm a tw4t.

Who’s paid the £3.99 then? 
 

Can’t get over until the afternoon 2 down 

Ahh that's why we have no stream. Might go down later. 

 

So is 3.99 even for members. How do you get on it?

Spent 45 minutes trying to work out how to log on to this stream. But it seems you can’t get it on Smart Tv. Have to watch it via a phone or iPad. That’s a non starter for me. I want to relax in front of the telly, not struggle with a small screen and tinny sound all day. But then I saw the score! I’m going out!
