The good news is that the last ball he bowled was more like his Sussex standard. No movement, arrowing at Cook's leg. Picked off easily by the batsman.
Now keep it up, Vernon.

I had one yesterday - we had declared half an hour before tea on 250/5
and very first ball of their reply, I had him planted in front, absolutely stone dead. The umpire (OURS ffs) declined it, and said to me as I walked back to my mark, "Sorry, I couldn't do it to him, not first ball"

Philander absolutely all over us at the moment.
Needs a monumental effort just to make it to the end of the day, if Cook or Root go before tea it'll be the beginning of a collapse for sure.

Absolutely as village cricket should be. Hope you bowled a wide next ball too [emoji106][emoji106]
He smashed me for 4 (was a ROTTEN ball tbf) three balls later, and as he turned at my end, he said "Sorry mate. I do realise exactly what happened there!"
We had a lad on debut yesterday, made your boy look like Boycott. 105 from 49 balls, at which point the captain retired him!

Jennings mindset is so defensive that he is a wicket waiting to be plucked. Balance's technique is lacking. Replacements required for both I'm afraid...

strong and stable with me, or...
The search for a no.2 and 3 has been ongoing since Strauss retired. No replacement has managed to secure the place in quite sometime now.

Goodnight Vienna 
Root yorked by Morris - an absolute Jaffa.
55-3 might as well pack up and go home now.

If I had a ticket for today, the only question regarding the car, was whether to pay for 3 hours or 4 in the car park...

If Cook and YJB can hang in there and both make double hundreds, we can still win this
4 - might as well have tea before driving home.
Talking of chasing lost causes, my son was playing in a quarter final for Sheffield U10s v Huddersfield U10s on Friday and after restricting Hudds to 112/7 in 30 overs, it was looking good.
In reply we were 0/4 off four balls with two Yorkshire players back in the shed....

Cook bounced out by Morris... gloved it to de Kock pulling out of a hook shot.
Curtains.

Our batsmen are a disgrace no apllication or concentration at all when needed.
Thought Cook and Root in particular were undone by superb bowling myself.
