A bit late to the party this year...

My favourite innings by a nightwatchman came from Robin Marlar for Sussex. He was out stumped second ball for 6.
I can't remember the batsmen involved, but Lancs sent a nightwatchman in a couple of years ago at OT. He was out a few balls later. They then sent in the next 'proper' batsmen in. He was also out a few balls later. It's not often the home support greets their own side losing a wicket with as much laughter as there is groaning.
Back to today. The first few overs didn't look too encouraging, the wickets a little on the slow side, but there's been some decent bowling to get us a good start. Just got to make sure no other partnerships develop now.
And I wish they'd learn to use the review system properly. What happened to eliminating the howler, rather than being a tactical move? The first one in particular was a bit daft.
Ponting suffering yet again. Always good to see.
