The beautiful thing is, literally every cricket club in the country has a Cornwall. Can’t bat, useless in the field outside of first slip, but can pick up wickets somehow off no run up.
The Club my son plays at (as I did too for over 30 years) has someone known to many on here through his work on behalf of the KCL and KRCL. He has 1,162 recorded wickets to his name - it was always a pleasure as well as entertaining playing with him.
Funny when I was a young cricketer if I saw an older guy or a tubby player I'd think weak opposition..you learn never to judge a book by its cover..they are in the team for a reason..also not to assume all carribean players bowl at 90mph and Asians are wily spinners but do assume all Aussies are brash arrogant b ggers ..
Root apparently grows a pair and moves up to 3 for the better interests of the team to select more bowlers to force a win cos you need to take 20 wickets. Double tough on Zak. Tough luck losing the toss and being put in to bat in bowler friendly conditions Yet again undone by all the empty space and sawdust between his ears Craptain Joe runs himself out after and hour and a half and the responsibility for holding together an England first innings is dumped on Ben Stokes, now batting at 4. When is he gonna get rested, I wonder? Fuck me that Cornwall bloke is obese, don't see him chasing leather on a baking afternoon.
All of a sudden at 93-3, especially with Buttler next in, we don't look in that great a position. 20/1 on the Windies winning this Test was available just prior to that wicket - halved in price now but even at 10/1 there are probably worst bets to have.

Stokes b Roach 20
Quite impressive.

A draw looks odds on with the weather forecast.
You heard it here first.
They have enough on their plate
Buttler buying himself another 3 years in the side.
Bad light stopped play.
Pope is such a ringer for Ian Bell, such a similar, easy on the eye style
So, at 6.30pm on Tuesday when we are into the last 15 overs of play, and the light isn't so good will the light meter reading be relevant then.

Tough going this morning
