Yeah. First wicket went down the over after I posted.
Seems spin is the way forward on this surface.

Lancs lose (again), should have got 350 in the first place.
Bob Simpson, remembered as 'mighty' Australian cricket captain, dead at 89
Australian cricket is mourning one of the country's greatest figures in the sport — former Test batsman, captain and coach Bob Simpson, who has died at the age of 89.

I remember Simpson’s 311 in the OT test in 1964. Aus won the toss and batted till the middle of day 3 iirc. They scored over 600, then Eng did the same with a mighty innings from Barrington. Match was drawn with just a couple of overs of Aus second innings. Ridiculous.

Ditto again today.
Rinse & Repeat …
Absolutely correct. After the fantastic test series this summer I was well up for more cricket but the hundred is terrible.
It’s so naff and fake I really can’t understand how it draws the crowds. I have absolutely no interest in watching it. It’s ruining a wonderful sport IMO.

How can you not like things such as the Meerkat Match Hero award.
The low scoring pitches are great fun to watch. It'd be worse if the wickets were all roads and they were scoring 180 easily every game. There's loads of T20 competitions if you want that sort of batsmen oriented cricket.
A lot of the games being comfortably won though is an issue. It's plagued the competition for a few years now annoyingly.
Maybe my beloved 'crap' pitches are to blame or maybe it's the weird 5 ball not overs that are messing with the players not knowing what to do at what time etc?

Watched 'How the World Cup was won in 1979'.
Some great stuff in that.
West Indies knowing they'd set England an unlikely target with 280 odd off 60 overs!!!!!!
Viv, Clive Lloyd, Collis King (how good was he BTW???), Mikey, Joel Garner etc....

Yes, hopeless end to the innings again.

Same, it's like a mid summer break in the main cricket, I'd like the one day cup if Lancs could bat through an innings. 2 centuries in an innings should be winning it, but only 3 others in double figures, Shetty tried to keep the momentum going, but the rest were dreadful. I didn't watch the Durham innings as I knew the result before they started batting.
