    I agree, @killerandflash. Teams that have players on the fringe of England have most problems, in my opinion. Yorkshire know they will hardly see Root - and, if they do, it's a bonus. If a player is on the fringe, it's hard to budget for a replacement. Imagine if this went on in football.

    It's not exactly an encouragement to blood new English talent. Bring through a DBD and you might lose him, hire a Kolpak and you face no such worries.

    It also makes promotion/relegation a lottery, if a team could loses its best player for a key match.

    Sussex closing in on the victory by an innings, Worcs 128-6 still 139 runs behind

    Raining at the Notts game

    Derbyshire need 215 to beat Notts. I imagine that game will peter out into a draw

    Kent are lucky to have played Sussex twice before they found their true form. Ahem.

    Yasir Shah signs for a spell, could be in the team this Thursday. Absolute match winner.

    Hmm, I'd definitely be interested in watching him bowl

    An interesting choice, a spinner rather than a quick. Not good for Adam Riley though

    They got back out but, with 26 needed and 5 wickets in hand, rain has now stopped play!

    Tredders left out.....!!

    Well playing 2 spinners when it's quite damp and cool was pretty unlikely!
  • Off to Canterbury today, looking forward to it!
  • Lost the toss - bowling first.
  • About half an hour away from the ground. With the way Stevens has been bowling I expect us to be batting by the time I get there...

    Mate are you just down for today? I'm off to my parents today to vote and visit home. If you're around tomorrow or Saturday I'd suggest meeting for a drink and a spot of cricket.
