The lesser spotted Buttler and livingstone playing at Old Trafford...

Anyone know why they didn't play first class cricket for Lancs this season? Surely they've been available for months having not been involved in the Ashes etc.

They probably have central contracts agreed

Great little video from sky, Nasser has become such a good broadcaster and any inside information on leadership from Morgan is always really relatable on so many levels. Morgan was obviously a shrewd tactician but he had the quality I always liked best in a leader, calmness.

Never thought I'd take to The Hundred but it really is entertaining. So many youngsters in the crowd who given generally have a lower attention span would probably never take to the five day game.

It's not as bad as some people say, although it will never come close to to test cricket. The best thing about is that it's more affordable for families to attend and they usually get to watch a double header. It definitely gets new viewers in to watch cricket, and that's never going to be a bad thing.

They're still allowed to play for their counties if not selected for England

Buttler's contract with Lancs is just a Red ball contract iirc

Been coming and as poor as he's been this season, still very sad

Dane Vilas to retire from County Cricket at the end of this season

Agree Connor. Was obvious last season he was on the downward slope and he's looked way off this year until the 50 overs started where he's enjoyed himself against mainly 2nd string bowling.

Good player, decent captain who brought discipline to the team.

Steven Finn retired today too.

Always felt he was hard done by - especially during that away Ashes win. Never really got back to that level.

A cracking bowler.

Agreed. Tried to change his action iirc. A case of over-coaching maybe.

I love Ben Stokes like I love no other sportsman, but has he got this one wrong? I think he should focus on getting that knee right for the India tour personally.

Reminded of what Shane Warne said when he saw Stokes training for the Royals, and said he can't help but do everything at 100%.

Which will inevitably lead to him bowling an over or three at some point during the competition!

Went to watch the 100 yesterday in Cardiff. £18 for 6/7 hrs entertainment well worth it imo. Bit dissapointed that Root and Bairstow didnt do much, but otherwise a good day.
