I can remember Gillespie getting dog's abuse at the Rose Bowl in 2005, for the inaugural Twenty twenty game V England. Lot's of 'Gypo Gypo' and 'Where's your Caravan' as he ran in with his long hair flowing.

A very determined player who seems to make coaching look easy!

He'll be a huge asset for whoever gets him.

Would've liked to have kicked on and got a really big score, but if we can take an early wicket or two we have a great chance.

After those couple of sixes off RVdM, I thought Bell was going to easily reach 100 but he struggled to middle the ball after that

Is Tresco injured or doesn't he play 50 Over games any more ?

OHD has bowled well today and we needed that wicket - I was starting to worry.

Great win! Woakes will be available for Lord's. Wright was a bit expensive. OHD did well with some good yorkers, Jeets was excellent with 5 LBW's and a deserved man-of-the-match.

He's generally playing less and less cricket, I'm not sure how much longer we will see him on the county circuit.

The county have adopted a policy of saving him for the championship to avoid injuries and avoid disrupting his rhythm. I reckon he will play at Lords, though.
