Cricket Thread

Vince had a stinker,both as a captain and as a batsman.
He won the toss last year, too, and then decided to put Surrey in, cue 467 and a win by an innings and 17 runs. Evidently thought better of it this year but another loss.

After two rounds, Warwickshire top the Championship tonight but nobody has won both games.
 
What was the point in starting the Championship season so early and then having 6 games last week and only 5 this? Seems odd.

Anyway, Surrey have Warwickshire all out for 150, but I suspect rain and light will continue to blight play.
 
What's going on with Lancs bowling? Get teams 4 down for not many but struggle to finish them off. It's happened pretty much every game with the exception of Essex who got 219 first innings (and first innings lead) but were 25 for 3 in bowler friendly conditions.

Surrey 77/4 made 442 - 1st innings.
Somerset 80/4 made 441 - 1st innings.
Nottinghamshire 85/5 made 249 - 1st innings. 55/6 - 2nd innings but couldn't bowl them out with almost 40 overs left.
Somerset 55/4 made 361 - 1st innings.
 
Archer out for the season.
It must be close to the time when England and the media have to accept that he's not going to be available for Test cricket. He's 28 now, and has played over twice as many T20s as long form county/tests.
 
Shame for Archer but since he has come into this England side he has been out 90% of the time because of injuries! If Bowling 4 overs and his elbow flares up tells me he be quitting test match four day cricket and even 50 over cricket!
