It's good to see some new faces, We have to plan for the ashes down under in 18 months
Archer Wood Topley should all be playing red-ball cricket also I would like Adil Rashid to come back into the fold

Thank God we now have proper cricket back this summer, July is a little late but a double series with the West Indies and Sri Lanka right up to September if the weather plays ball

Has Sky quietly put the T20 blast on the back burner? It's barely featuring on their channels now. Yes; I understand that the world cup has been on. But I'm sure they could have the world cup on the "main event" channel, and the blast on the cricket channel. Look at the last three days; no WC fixture on Friday, the final was over by early evening yesterday and there's only a women's ODI game on today. Yet there hasn't been a single blast game scheduled on those days. Pity; I enjoyed the occasional blast game.
 
Interesting attack for Lancs.
Anderson and Lyon. Honestly I know it's only for one game but that's stuff that dreams are made of!

Nothing from 21/6-5/7.

Looks like the rest of it is in 5-19 July, and then the finals in September

(based on BBC fixture listing).
 
Enjoying this, watching live from 3,000 miles away (thanks to youtube.) Raining at Southport and David Lloyd on commentary talking about the tide being out and a bloke in Accrington who used to do his dry-cleaning.
And there's another train just went by ...
