In for a penny in for a pound, we're going to win this one too, because we're English and we bloody well rule the world. Come on England.

Two Sussex players in the team, I'm thinking we may even win an innings and 200 hundreds. Total humiliation for the visitors.

O. I thought that in this latest new era of English cricket, we were allowed 12 players.

Wheel loose.

I wonder how many away teams have won the toss at Lords and elected to bowl?
