Just watching the Hundred game, while I'm waiting for the game later on. Some of the fielding in the womens' game; christ, it's dreadful.

The best thing the ECB did was insist that terrestrial TV get access to live games for it.Don’t know if it’s because we’re 3 years in now, or because the ashes has made me really want cricket to grow and be back on free to air tv, but I’m starting to get behind the hundred a bit now.

Lancs are going to need to bat well to win this game at (the real) Old Trafford, just the 412 required from 50 overs.
I watched some of it earlier, but the bowling and fielding was pretty rank, so I fully expect the batting to follow suit, gave up and went to sit in the sun.

Just been to the Oval , Surrey well beaten by Kent. Matt Parkinson took 4 wickets for Kent.
Have you seen the Trent Rockets wicketkeeper?
I asked someone the other day what nationality they thought this player was referring to the Trent Rockets wicket keeper.
He replied to my amusement "that guy looks South African to me".
He got one bit right I guess.

Heads off to google....Have you seen the Trent Rockets wicketkeeper?
He was omitted at Blackpool on Wednesday, just one spinner the Quadri. Got 1, 2 and 4 for Kent so far, and hasn't been expensive bar the first game when he bowled 2 overs in a 17 over chase. Most teams seem to have 5 or so 2nd XI players in this comp, bit still it is positive for Parky.Just been to the Oval , Surrey well beaten by Kent. Matt Parkinson took 4 wickets for Kent.

When did Parkinson move to Kent ? More importantly why ?
He has been at Durham this season and after that spell went to Kent about 2 weeks ago.When did Parkinson move to Kent ? More importantly why ?
His form dipped after England called him up for a Test Match and then dropped him from all 3 formats. I think he was due to go to Kent next season when his contract expired at the end of October but they brought it forward.
He wasn't featuring in the CC or T20 and lost his 100 pick. It was moving or 2nd XI cricket. He needed a fresh start and has only really shown any form this season in the last week.

Thanks, I knew he went on loan to Durham, but I assumed that was just for some game time.He has been at Durham this season and after that spell went to Kent about 2 weeks ago.

Gloucestershire 454-3 in 50 overs today, not a record, but not single mention on bbc, just reports on the shitty hundred.

Tammy Beaumont 118 off 61 balls in the Hundred but not good enough to open for England in T20 !!!!

To be fair she played for Welsh Fire last year where she and the rest of the team were pretty awful.
She didn't look like much of a T20 player going into the World Cup so I can understand why she wasn't picked.
I'm sure she'll be in the mix the next time the T20 squads get picked.
