Good to see Cameron Steel and Trev doing well

agreed

I bet Middlesex are glad to see the Dukes ball returning later this week. Their combined 1st innings bowling effort for the first two games was 9/1172

First two rounds of the CC pretty much a complete waste of time, a real shame.

Is that the end of the Ozzy ball experiment for another year then?

Essex players wearing snoods in the field today. Southerners!

Can see what they have tried to do, and the logic behind it, but it can’t be good for the game or supporters of counties watching these rounds of games.

Games need to be competitive for the good of the competition

Unfortunately there are two more rounds later in the summer.

Two more, these were the extra two for this year.

Was June/July last year. Says will be August/September for the remaining 2.

Interesting chase at the Oval

Surrey giving it a hell of whack to begin.

Some powerful players wouldn't even put it past them as mental as it is if they do.

Don't recall a bad round of games last year, every week had at least a couple of cracking games that went close to the wire. So maybe the games later in the summer won't be as bad.

But this has been farcical.

18 County Championship games so far this season.

Only one match wasn't drawn.

Horrendous advert for the Kookaburra ball.

How long before some bell-end from the ECB cites this as proof the format isn't fit for purpose?

The Kook is designed for hard wickets, might as well play with a rubber practice ball in England.

Brilliant,thank you.

Crazy how Matty Potts hasn't been included. 149 not out. Come in when we were 12-2 and batted through the whole day.

Yep, it was a much greater achievement than Alex Davies’.
