That Carson is a real find - spinners don't tend to mature until well in their 20s. He looks nailed on to be an England player if he carries on like this

This Glamorgan commentator is pretty dozy - he can't appear to tell the difference between a left hander and a right hander

I doubt that we're going to get as much buffet bowling as that - Weighell and Douthwaite were giving Thomason a feast of half-trackers. What made it worse was that Glamorgan had four slips and a gully so the batters had a lot of empty space to play with

Do you think he'd choose England over Ireland? I would assume he would, but you never know.

They were saying on the radio commentary that the pitch wasn't giving much, but he bowled really well to get his wickets. Very promising.

Now we've avoided the follow-on, I'm sure we can all breathe a sigh of relief. At least we won't be COMPLETELY humiliated.

In other news, Hampshire's Mohammad Abbas has an impressive Michelle against Middlesex already - 5 for 3 off 4 overs! (Middx 14/5)

How many test matches do Ireland play? And how many do England?

What do you reckon the respective pay rates are? Why does Morgan play for England? Come to think of it, why do Stokes, Archer and Roy play for England?

It's not a good state of affairs. International cricket is in a sorry mess because everything is loaded in favour of three teams who have a financial clout that the others can only dream of. New Zealand are punching way, way above their weight right now but I don't think that will last and the long term future isn't good unless something changes
