Watching the Blast. Pepper gone, caught Salt.
Overturned on review. That's cruel.

Superb performance by Lancashire this. I was certain they’d lose with all of the internationals missing, but fair play the bowlers all played their part and now Salt, Croft and Vilas have batted a belter.
Gleeson should definitely be available for finals day, really interesting to see what the ECB do with the players in the 50 over squad.
I don’t really support any of the county teams but I think the ECB should release all England players whose team are playing on finals day. They’ll get more out of playing in a knockout situation than from another random ODI.Gleeson should definitely be available for finals day, really interesting to see what the ECB do with the players in the 50 over squad.
Yeah, I'm very much England-first but feels very harsh on the counties to deny them of their best players.I don’t really support any of the county teams but I think the ECB should release all England players whose team are playing on finals day.

I'm not even thinking of it from a county perspective. I think the likes of Brook would be better placed helping to lead Yorkshire to a win in on finals day with the pressure on him than play in an ODI in the long run for England. I think I saw Shastri say that he doesn't even remember any T20I that he's been involved in that wasn't related to the world cup.Yeah, I'm very much England-first but feels very harsh on the counties to deny them of their best players.
Or, don't have this issue in the first place by organising such a packed schedule - then they would have all been available anyway... Why have quarters and finals day sandwiched between an England vs India T20/ODI series?I don’t really support any of the county teams but I think the ECB should release all England players whose team are playing on finals day. They’ll get more out of playing in a knockout situation than from another random ODI.
There’s not only this, finals day should be a massive showcase event where cricket puts its best foot forward to attract the next generation. Half of the best players missing isn’t doing that, it’s typical ECB cutting off their nose to spite their face that I might understand if it was a 50 over World Cup in 3 months, but it’s not.I don’t really support any of the county teams but I think the ECB should release all England players whose team are playing on finals day.

Yep, feels like they're trying to devalue the Blast to push people towards the Hundred doesn't it.The ECB have never really given enough support to the Blast but it's only going to get worse now they have the Hundred. It shouldn't be that difficult to leave a spare 4 days and weekend in the calendar to ensure that all England players are available, games can be shown on TV and that teams actually play their home QF on their own ground. Yet every season it gets worse.
Also don't see why Sky have Harry Gurney commentating when he's been vocal in calling for the Blast to be scrapped.
Exactly, undermine it slowly and then eventually it'll be easier to get rid of and people won't be so bothered.Yep, feels like they're trying to devalue the Blast to push people towards the Hundred doesn't it.
Double wicket maiden (Kohli and Pant at that) on international debut. What a start.3-6, what a start from Gleeson
Yeah, he's great.Double wicket maiden (Kohli and Pant at that) on international debut. What a start.
I’m not sure he’ll play much for England but domestically he definitely can, especially as a white ball specialist.Yeah, he's great.
Great story too. From Lancashire but never got picked up as a kid, was plucked from league cricket by Northants and then signed by Lancs a few years ago.
He's 34 but can hopefully stick around for a while. Won't have many miles on the clock will he?!
Ultra edge runs at a much faster fpsThere was a gap between bat and ball when the spike happened?
Whyd they get rid of it?would like hot spot back for those.
to allow india to cheat.Whyd they get rid of it?
expense i’d imagine.Whyd they get rid of it?
Ultra edge/Snicko became much faster, so they didn't need it anymore. Plus I believe it was easier to cheat with cleverly placed stickers/tape etcWhyd they get rid of it?
Hales needs to be brought in as well although Bairstow and Stokes are still to be brought back.Time to get Root back in the t20 team?
I'd love it if he signed a red-ball contract for us too. With Mahmood apparently leaving he'd be a great replacementI’m not sure he’ll play much for England but domestically he definitely can, especially as a white ball specialist.
like you say a great story. Missed so much through injury too.
No chance Hales comes back. That ship is long sailed.Hales needs to be brought in as well although Bairstow and Stokes are still to be brought back.
