Brilliant. Really pleased for Brett D'Oliveira. The proudest of Worcestershire cricketers.

Worcs despite being absolutely crap are 2nd in the league. How has that happened?

Worcs despite being absolutely crap are 2nd in the league. How has that happened? Partly because they have been saved by the rain in two matches when they were being thrashed out of sight and defeat was inevitable.

Congratulations to Worcestershire's Josh Tongue on selection to the England Test team. The last Worcs seamer to play for England? I was thinking back to the heady days of the late 1980s and Botham, Tilley, Newport and Radford. But no, it was actually Kabir Ali in 2003. Played just the one Test.

Poor sod. He's had previous health issues but was considered to be a big asset for the Ashes series. Really unlucky.

We're a bit screwed now, as far as I can see.
Stokes is going to have to open the batting. Which will be great news for people who just can't be bothered with Crawley.
Rehan Ahmed? Might be worth chucking him in the deep end and ruining his career? I think so, yes. Might as well!

Ahmed may well have his career ruined if thrown in amongst all those left-handed Aussie batsmen, so an off-spinner is probably what they'll be looking to pick. Have we got any?
Is it too late to returf the fast track pitches we've asked for?

It would appear that MA hasn't played any "proper" cricket in a shade under 2 years. May have got it wrong, but I don't think he has turned out for Worcs or Warwickshire in the red ball game since his last test. www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/moeen-ali-8917/matchesI am guessing the amount of cricket he has played it is all muscle memory. They seem to all flit around between different forms of cricket without a care in the world.

The advantage being, results are still obtained in weather affected matches but removes that intrigue of the battle of wits between the persistent Holding and the tenacity of Boycott.

Given that Moeen Ali has now stated that he would not have deigned to turn out for England under the captaincy of anybody other than Stokes I think it's time to call out this individual for the complete asshole he has become in recent times.

There was talk about Ashley Giles getting involved at Worcs during today's commentary.

Is that just to replace Moeen whilst he's back on England duty?

To be fair to him, someone asked him "would you have come back for any other captain?" to which he replied "probably not, no".
It's hardly a vicious comment.
"Would you have had another pint if the Leffe had run out?"
"Probably not, no..."
"The Leffe has gone"
"Pint of rum, please"
