Our teams are squaring off this week. Your lot will walk it unless we've got some bowlers back (Finn, Robinson, Carson).

Walk it, eh. :fp:

Stokes is absolutely murdering the Worcestershire bowlers, nearing 150 after 80 balls including 34 off one over to a spinner.

Awful to hear the news about Graham Thorpe the other day. He was one of my all-time favourite England batsmen, so great to watch.

Apparently he is 'seriously ill' so hopefully he'll recover.

It's a brand new dawn for England by picking all the same players who did strawberry float all last time. Brook won't get a game, Potts might do due to the scarcity of bowling options.

Poor old Jofra, we've basically broken him. I don't think he'll ever bowl as quickly again for England.
