Last day. Rough patches on the pitch. Look at the stats historically. Hardly any team is successful chasing over 300. Windies go for it they are much more likely to lose wickets in playing shots. I would suggest 321 is more than enough for us.

You have to fancy England here. Anything over 250 was going to be a challenge. Over 300 massively favours the fielding side.

7.2 seconds.

Robins has indeed said no more signings, but that obviously could change if clubs poach some of our current squad by Thursday midnight. Guessing if Stevenson goes we would be looking to replace him.

It's fine bringing Reid back, that's if we want to go backwards. Don't care how well he is performing elsewhere, cos odds on it won't last and he will wait the next big game before deciding to turn it on.

Maybe they won't catch the threads.

Take it for the batsmen, the two that are world class are Cook and Root and the other three are Stokes, Bairstow and Ali?

We've got some excellent batsmen and some very good bowlers, but worryingly, we have a soft underbelly and you are always waiting for the next batting collapse.

Be interested to know too. For me he has looked commanding, caught well and been very verbal with his defence, the two mistakes apart.

I don't believe he can. I have liked O'Brien.....until now.

Yep. Been saying for a while we don't have depth of cover in the centre midfield. Can only hope that of Stevenson goes we can bring in two players in, in return.

But you say look at the bigger picture, yet we have managed to produce very good players except for a keeper. I'm not necessarily blaming Oggy, but if we can produce good young talent in spite of the way the club has been run, why haven't we produced a good young keeper too, in all that time?

Anyone else watched it yet?

Stevenson could well be next. Bout time we brought through a good keeper.

But then we didn't fail with Christie and Maddison and Bigi and Wilson etc. We managed to sell all those players for very good money.

No, I agree with that. Just expected RCC to be gone and that there must have been interest in him. I still maintain that RCC is a better keeper than Burge. I think we could have coached his impulsiveness out of him.

Yeah. I ONLY read it that way. Why would anyone read it any other way? It's a nonsense.

If we are to have a successful season it is critical we have a good goalkeeper at the helm. I still hope that's going to be O'Brien and this was just a two off.

Surely the assistant saw it even if the ref didn't.
