These two need to shit or get of the pot

England 3 overs off the pace after only 6 overs. NZ doing well.

Why does any team pick Livingstone? When was the last time he actually did anything bar trying to hit the ball as far as he can and getting out for under 15?

Or is he a bowler these days, that isn’t very economical, even for T20s?

Kind of Warwickshire to put Surrey in: 339-4. Foakes not out on 112 and Sibley, Smith, and Steel (not out) all into the 60s.

Completely agree, he’s absolutely not an international batsman, his good scores are rarer than united title wins. Was a shit t20 captain for Lancs too. His occasional bowling doesn’t make him a better member of the team than Harry Brook

I watched some of the cricket today and NZ were doing well in the field after batting well in their innings. What struck me was how unappreciative the crowd were when the NZ team took a wicket or made a good interception in the field. Today they were light years away from the first two matches and upped their game but the crowd were so silent when they took an England wicket, which on the whole was by good bowling or by good fielding because their field placing was superb. I said to my family “where’s the acknowledgment from the crowd that there was some good bowling?” because there was none, or at least there was none coming through on the telly. Surely English crowds are better than that?

Different crowd in T20 and The Hundred. Test matches completely different.

I still don’t get it. Very unsportsmanlike and I for one would applaud any good sport (unless it was the Aussies);)

Lancs labouring today 117-4.
Need to win this as games v Notts,Middlesex and Kent and not out of the woods yet as all are relegation candidates.

Surrey enforcing the follow on with Warwickshire 235 behind.
