Thinking about epic collapses does anyone else remember the 1993 B&H Cup game between Surrey and Lancashire?
It was shown live on BBC1 and Lancashire crawled to 236. Surrey then got to 212-1 needing 25 to win off the last 6 overs they then proceeded to lose 9 wickets for 18 runs to be all out for 230 and Lancashire winning by 6 runs
I miss the days when batting was hard. Anything over a run a ball in the last 5 overs and you were up against it.

What's amazing about that game is the shear quality of the players on both sides. County cricket isn't anything like that now with central contracts. Almost like two international sides.I took my mum out for tea that night. When I went out Lanky were down and out. No mobile phone with internet, watched the highlights on tv later and was staggered that we had won.

Sorry, could have sworn he was in a squad over the summer - I must be thinking of someone else!Tongue has never played white ball cricket for England. I personally think he’s a much better bowler than Atkinson.

Of the 22 players in that match 17 of them gained at least 1 international cap in test cricketWhat's amazing about that game is the shear quality of the players on both sides. County cricket isn't anything like that now with central contracts. Almost like two international sides.

Steve Smith never believes he’s out LBW.
Hopefully he loses his match fee for his dissent there.
Good job he isn’t playing at the Joie Stadium. He’d have been sent off.
Out LBW again for a duck. Plumb LBW and he wanted to refer it but his partner said don`t bother.

Missed it. Had to nip out. Saw Warner’s tantrum before though.Out LBW again for a duck. Plumb LBW and he wanted to refer it but his partner said don`t bother.
Hopefully a 3rd Aussie defeat incoming.

how many grounds are they using? It seems a bit early in the tournament for balls to keep low - one English batsman got one against Bangladesh and Warner got one.
