Harry Brook has had a fine start to the season. his first 3 innings have yielded scores of 41, 66* and 62 in pretty low scoring contests

Northants lower order seem hopeless
First innings they amassed 0, 0, 0 and 0*
second innings 0, 0, 0, 0 and 1*
Durham-esque

Yorks tidying up the Notts tail. Handy lead for the southern side though.
Good going for the Overtons to both get fifties in such a low scoring game.

Kent's second wicket partnership approacing 400. Might be in the realms of a county record.

Yes it's the county record for any wicket. Which was set by Dickson and Denly three years ago.

I wonder whatever happened to Dickson?

Yorks going past Notts with one wicket down. So well balanced game. Runs for JB1.

I know. Was trying to be sarcastic
Started with a string of single figure scores and, after being praised as one of the best fielders on the circuit, dropping slip catches!
To be fair though a handful of games in an extraordinary season isn't enough to pass judgement and apparently Kent did offer him a new contract.
My main concern is that a career average in the mid 30's is unlikely to go up playing at the Riverside. In all likelihood it will go down- especially for an opener.

Oh sorry. I took the question literally.
Few times I've seen him, always struck me as a player who looked very good. Good enough to draft him into my CC fantasy team 2-3 odd seasons back.
Having monitored his scoring that year it seemed he got in a lot, but didn't cash in enough. Lots of -20-25-30-35 ish scores then gone.

Yes, I think he had a poor year in division 1 last year and the average suggests a lot of middling scores.

Bairstow out. But did a good job.
