This is not cricket as I believe cricket to be.
Chris Jordan always gets praise for being a “death bowler”.
He’s certainly killed this game off. Obviously wants to watch the rugby.
Well that was shit

Nowhere near enough.
Pitch invader at the Superchargers v Welsh Fire game, must be a male cos a young lady was filming them intently…
Northern Super Chargers making a good fist of this run chase, they are chasing down 174 and started off slowly.
They now need 48 from 22 balls. Plunkett having a bit of a bowling nightmare. Last ball was a no-ball that went for 4 (it was dropped as well not that that would have counted), the free hit goes for a huge 6…
40 required from 22 now.
Plunkett 42 runs from 15 balls bowled…
36 required from 15 now.
Case Ahmad superb bowling, 4 wickets in his 20 balls for 15 runs.
23 from 10 now, and because the Welsh Fire are behind the bowling rate they have to have another fielder inside the circle.
11 needed from the last 5.
Welsh Fire win by 5 runs, good fun game to watch that…

I disagree with this bit
During the match England all-rounder, and Northern Superchargers captain, Ben Stokes tweeted “what an horrific wicket at Old Trafford”.
Used pitches tend to be slower in nature, allowing for more spin, which makes strokeplay and timing the ball more difficult for batters, in turn leading to low-scoring matches.
“Is that what we want to see in The Hundred?”, asked BBC radio commentator Stephan Shemilt.
"That was terrific entertainment and great skill from Matt Parkinson, but is this what this competition wants?
“Do we want to see raging turning pitches where a side struggles to get to 87?”
Yes we probably do, whilst it’s entertaining seeing the ball hit all over it’s also nice for there to be a bit of a challenge for the batters…

Kevin Pietersen is such an annoying commentator…
Southern Brave men currently being smashed all over the place, shite bowlers
Bairstow 52 from 31 balls, last 10 balls went for 39 runs
Welsh Fire finish their 100 balls on 165-4, well restricted at the end 'cos the score could have been a lot higher.
de Kock 21 from 7 deliveries caught on the ropes
41-1 from 15 balls
And?
From the BBC
It went downhill after that…
Actually I’m assuming that we should support the Southern Brave?
I have assumed that as well as Vince is Captain and home ground is the Rose Bowl
Great knock from Vince. Even better from de Kock. CdG scored 1. From 4 balls
Just the 3 Hants playing now…
Agree with all of this.
