Well played johnny, great way to go to 100.

Zampa looks like a mish mash of several different decades

I actually like Zampa.
He’s bonkers.
Taking his own microwave on tour is just boss !! I remember Jack Russell taking suitcases of baked beans on tour with him years ago.

I said a few weeks ago, I'd take Bairstow to open in Australia and start now. Taken apart their pace bowling attack in 2 games. Thats the way I would go anyway.

Arghhh, were really looking at a good score then, another tame poor dismissal off zampa.

He’s too suited to the limited overs game these days. Red ball moves and he gets bowled.

No one has ever looked more Australian than Zampa (not native Oz obvs).

Billings starting to look like a peoper top 6 order batsman here.

It's nicely poised, Nas talking about needing 300+ but I'd fancy us with 270 here, the more runs the better obviously

They’ll be looking at 300 from here I’d think

I just mean generally really. He might develop into an all rounder at some point, but he's just a tailender with a good eye for now. He had an explosive start in tests but he's only gone past 40 once in his last 20 innings, and had 4 ducks. He doesn't average 30 in any form of cricket, despite batting in a position where you'd expect plenty of red inkers. People talk about him strengthening the batting but there's no evidence that he does really.

It's a funny one. When he and Pope first broke onto the scene, the view was Curran had better batting technique out of the two, at that moment.

He looks to have added a yard with the ball and I like having a left armer.

Getting back to topic though, he looks a good county player to me, off the front foot etc. I'm not convinced with him hip upwards. Just based on watching him on TV though.

I owe his brother a bit of an apology mind, I said earlier in the summer sturggle to see what he brings, but think he's bowled very well all summer. He's not the most aesthetically pleasing as a bowler but is effective.

Still good to go though.

Played really nicely and will be dissapointed he gave it away. I like how he rotates the strike quickly. Looks quite even here, Bairstow the key man.

The Kookabura ball moves a lot less though doesn't it?

Frustrating as it looked like we were going into the last 10 with two well set top order batsman, was still impressed with the manner of Billings play as he looks much more a specialist batsman who can play in the top 6 than he has done previously

Can’t half shift between the wickets. Makes a huge difference that.

I still wouldn’t have him in the Test team anytime soon. He’s lost his touch - again
