Why all the draws? Do we need another change to the points system? I dive into this on the latest episode.

🇮🇹 Also, my flag is firmly planted on Emilio Gay being England's opener!

If Adam is in on Emilio Gay then this makes me more sure that planting my flag here is the right move

[Adam Collins @collinsadam]

Super impressive fella. All-in on Emilio Gay.

🎙️ Hello? Is this thing on?

The podcast is back and I'm looking at some of the uncapped (with one exception) players who made their England Test case from Round 1 of the County Championship 🏏

@Joe_Nuttall9 Is there enough data yet to look at if these matches produce fewer wickets? This week could be more of a one off with flat pitches and some resolute batting for the draw.

I saw a decent amount of the Glos game and it was a fairly flat one

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

England having Jamie Smith to open (having never done it), while having Bethell and Jacks in the middle order (who have previously opened) feels like forcing square pegs into tiny round holes.

I'm guessing they'll be bowling spin overs but still feels a strange combo

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

Would be a sickener for Gloucestershire to lose this game 😬

In the box seat with Kent 88/5 at lunch on day 1, forced themselves into it with a brilliant day 3, quick wickets this morning, chasing 160, and no home win since September 2022.

35/3... One final Cam Green score?

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

He's there to help them hit more 6s, isn't he? 😂

[Wisden @WisdenCricket]

Tim Southee will assist England’s squads across all formats until the end of the Test series against India.

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

Worcestershire have a player in Ethan Brookes. Moved down the order in this match but he has the technique to score runs.

Textbook straight driving and brilliant exponent of the sweeps Vs spin. Long term he has to be batting in the top 6 🏏

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

Going to be a really long season for Worcestershire if their first innings keep falling away after the openers.

Their two 1st innings so far have amassed 316 runs. The opening partnership has accounted for 160 of those

Professionals are never too far away from looking village. Jake Libby just had to jump with a stump to get the ball from on top of a net. A common sight across the Shires 😂

Incredible batting display. You don't see many 4th innings play out for 200 overs.

What a start we have had to the County season
