Ridiculous. Fine them £5m

Well. That was mad. Has a county championship game, with 40 wickets taken, ever ended more quickly?

OK we won, but if we'd needed 1st inning batting points for the title we'd have been stuffed.

Shades of Notts a few years back.

Apparantly (according to the commentary team, I haven't checked) Essex had one that didn't last 4 sessions last year.

That pitch must have been a shocker.

Incredible win and third place in the bag.

The women's 50 over match today has gone a bit pear-shaped.
India have racked up 333/5, with Kaur making a blistering 143. She reached her 100 with 19 balls left, and 62 runs came in the last 3 overs 26, 17, 19.
The poor young bowler Kemp had a nightmare last two overs with a lot of wides - 24 across the whole team in the innings.

Been watching bits of it are India that good or are we not as professional as them as in our bowling which is so inconsistent!

We’re not as good as we were.

Practically the whole team has changed in a very short time span.

Never in doubt, was it? Even at six wickets down for seven runs second time around. You ever see a cat when it catches a mouse? He'll toy with the rodent for a while; give the mouse hope that he might be able to get away. Then, BOOM.

A few retirements, and one of the best Indian players got their eye in. Kaur can do that to any team on her day.
England's bowlers aren't as strong as they were.

Losing Shrubsole was always going to be hard. Also got Knight, Sciver and Brunt missing atm.

Don’t even mention that day. I don't know how I survived it.

Are we good enough to defeat the Aussies next year?

I’m not a soothsayer, but I’d suggest we need to improve quite a bit to even be competitive.
