@holland_tom @AveburyCC Did anyone get no-balled as a result of too many fielders outside the stone circle during the power play overs?

Would Gus Atkinson have got himself into this tangle if the Lord's honours' board had correctly formatted entries for 5wi and 10wm? Not for me to say.

@FractusPontus @WG_RumblePants As a (very poor quality) member of the bowlers union, there is something enjoyable about watching teams of t20 batting colossuses get steamrolled for not many as it “nips about a bit” or “just holds its line”

@holland_tom To be fair, in these temperatures the Lords Pavillion is a veritable tinderbox waiting for a spark

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@HertsTimelord @WG_RumblePants I think I agree. One thing Finn has been quite interesting to listen to on was how he didn’t get support from the set up in the fashion he needed it. Maybe he will be more attuned to the value of say wicket keepers getting the coaching they want on tour.

Just finishing @TheRestHistory’s samurai series and all this chat about fluttering Minamoto banners got me thinking. @holland_tom, @dcsandbrook give us the History’s greatest flags countdown we need please! The Land Waster, Joan of Arc’s white banner, Black Bart’s Jolly Roger!

@WG_RumblePants Just because everyone has mentioned Brearley already; how about SK Warne? His IPL captaincy was ludicrously innovative and he got a lot out of some unheralded youngsters

@WG_RumblePants Royals fan since season 1 (warne’s team) and this kid is as legit as they come. Only a matter of time before he plays for India - looks like RR are doing a great job keeping the pressure off him too

@RichKettle07 My thoughts are that Jersey should feel utterly shafted.

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@cricket_badger What would be really awful would be if he got an England call too early, got dropped and then couldn’t go back to playing for Jersey for an extended period as a result. ICC should look at changing that rule

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@Thelandofark @NoContextCounty I agree with this- I reckon the current India test team is far worse than we all realised last summer and we conned ourselves into thinking injury robbed us of a series win against a world beating team.

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@FoxCricket Warner of course a past master of playing for an immoral victory…..

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@MidnightMusinng Mohammad Yousuf pips Inzy for me…..

@WG_RumblePants Double century with Jarrod Kimber has done a lot of the key stuff brilliantly but SF Barnes fascinates me

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@camthecowboyman Wish they’d done it but they haven’t done it and this announcement made way too soon will damage cred of later attempts.

@greenleejw Hope the day gets better - feel like this is a remarkably good representation of Gymnothorax funebris for a seven year old

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@WG_RumblePants Pretty sure I’ve made a duck on that one 30 odd years ago

[Wayne Atkinson @ThatWLA]

@SriniMaama16 It’s one of the truly iconic world test grounds but shouldn’t get both games of the series….
