I didn't know that, good news! Won't qualify til 2022/23 though, seven years it takes now.

Yeah just read the timings. I thought he had been here pemenantly for a while but obviously not!

If england want him they will change it. Im sure australia tried the same with Kawaja? (Dont qoute me)

With all the hype of sanga retiring I think it's slipped under the radar a little but in what could be his final first class innings Chris read has hit 124 and another knock to possibly salvage something for Notts! He's been a great asset to Notts for a long long time! He will be missed! Not looking forward to seeing who keeps for Notts next year! Better not be daddy's boy moores

[six and out]

I can't believe Northants (my team) have literally missed out on promotion by the 5 point deduction for slow over rate against Notts (who got promoted). So frustrating

Youuuu Pearrrrsss!

Well done to Hants for batting out today for the draw and avoiding the drop. Worth noting that much of the hard work was done by Vince - batting for 159 minutes facing 124 balls for just 30 runs.

Interesting to see that just 2 points separated 4th (Yorks) from 7th (Mids) and relegation.

A paltry 2 wins for Surrey secures 3rd. Though the most important thing was Somerset pulling off a real Houdini to avoid relegation. Credit goes to the most unlucky person not to get picked for the ashes tour (jack leach). I think he has been the top county spinner for the last 2 seasons.

Eight sides and two down needs looking at.

And Leach still appears to, ERM, straighten his arm in delivery...

I'd be curious to see any recent footage to back that up?

[Gurujames]

In the few times I've seen him bowl I can't see anything wrong with his action. I know he was a right chucker in the past though.

He has a smoother action than he used to, for sure.  But the two times I have seen him bowl this season, there have been deliveries where there has been a very obvious kink in his action, and he persists in wearing long sleeves even on the hottest of days...

The biggest thing about Leach for me is that i believe the selectors worry about that he is playing on bunsens at Taunton so they are always just seeing and hearing about that and they therefore question his ability to bowl on flat pitches - which the majority of time is what you get at test level.

so we need to look at his figures away from taunton that will give a pretty decent understanding - he surely doesnt just play home games?

No he doesnt but he pretty much only performs there

[Manormanic]

It was interesting at the Oval that Dom Bess took over as the frontline spinner and Tom Abell bowled as many overs of his military medium as Leach did.

Here we go.... it was always going to happen...
