Well yes, that’s very true!

It was the Saffer that got Smith with a rank half tracker.

**Alison** · 27-12-17, 12:13

The Saffa is only young and will blossom into something very special

Surrey must be on the up again - could have had 4 players in the test: Stoneman, Curran, Foakes, and Mitch Marsh!

**Alison** · 27-12-17, 15:15

My beloved Somerset have two - Overton and Bancroft!

Well played Alistair Cook - about bloody time.

Looks like Alistair Cook got some batting advice for Christmas. He should have asked Santa for the advice before the series was over.

**sloppy** · 27-12-17, 18:22

Thats what happens when you use drop in pitches.the ball is slower and lower just like england.

tough chance,ball coming close to keeper standing up,making line of sight difficult--even I may have juggled it

I think we are getting into the realms of fantasy now Corporal Jones.

If it was a pint glass Gunny would have swallowed it whole.
