Great start for Gleeson

Kohli though someone you’d want to punch the way goads the player once out a bit of twat

We have bowling line up of sprayers. No wonder India found it so easy to score.

Too many sloggers, not enough players.

True. Is this really the best we can put out ?

Damn right.

Well, no, we could add Root, Stokes, Bairstow etc.

They need resting, unlike the Indian team.

I remember a time when we were okay(ish) at the white ball slogfest, and shite at tests. Obviously, this is all Root's fault.

 

[waspish]

What is it with all these Indian medium to fast bowlers wearing them and sleeves?!

This match was over a long time ago

Yeah, I don't understand why he feels the need to bid the departing batsman a fond farewell. Has he got Aussie blood in him?

 

[crooky]

India have taken 10 wicket hauls in the last three games now.

How often do teams do that in T20?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

How quick is Gleeson? Looked sharp from what I saw.

Got to feel for the young man.

34 runs off the bat (5 sixes and a four, plus a no ball) off his last over. Think the commentary said it was the most expensive over in blast history. It was painful to watch. At least, for anyone that isn't a Somerset fan.

Whereas Mr Scrimshaw bowled 2-16 off 4.

 

[jimharri]

Somerset just broke the record for the highest score in the blast (265).

 

[zandvoort blue]

I fancied Derbys before the match until I heard Masood has returned to Pakistan. With that score Derbys have no chance.

However cricket on a postage stamp is a bit sad.

Apparently, they're the worst figures for any bowler in any T20 competition, anywhere in the world.

He didn’t do much wrong, either. Certainly not to be left with that stat.
