Calling @Alan Harper's Tash!

It is better than last year’s one.

It isn’t great.

Scott Currie played a blinder.

Looks like we picked the wrong Overton

England or Manchester?

Great finish to be fair, Overton salvaged that one.

Given we don’t have a top class spinner, given the injury records of our pace bowlers, given the records of our batsmen down under and given that we haven’t beaten India or Australia at home with Stokes/McCullum then anything less than a 5-0 defeat in the Ashes will be a surprise.

Looking at the 100 squads both men and women - looks like there’s a few teams particularly in the South heavily stacked with talent - where established internationals must be playing for a pittance, given the pay structure.

Sonny Boy lost it big time in his final 10.

Anderson £37k as a wildcard pick they said

Anderson £37k but not a first pick they said

Wolvaart had to be a top earner at the. originals but she’s goes to the Brave - so is she a top earner at the Brave because they didn’t lose a top earner - or have they slashed the salary of an existing player. The drop off in the pay bands is quite significant.

Originals men look really poor again. Not really competitive against the Oval Invincibles. I’m guessing the new ownership will take action at the end of this years tournament. Look a shambles again today, lost with 43 balls to go!

The Ghost of Finals Day past, when he would be parachuted into a good team and help us lose it.

Used to happen with Flintoff as well

Just seen that the Manchester women actually won a game. That's a novelty.
