I think Rocky should be playing in the cc for the rest of the season. For the Surrey CC game there's a possibility Lancs will have a top 7 of Jennings, Wells, Bohannon, Salt, Iyer, Hurst and Balderson.
Against Derbyshire in the recent MB Rocky looked extremely uncomfortable against the short ball. He was smacked flush on the helmet and eventually got out to a bouncer. Opposition bowlers in the CC will pepper him if they can see a weakness.I expected him to get the treatment John but I don't remember them bowling a short ball at him, although Iyer got it in the second innings. |

I was at the Test match so didn't see much of the action at the Oval OE but surprised to hear the Surrey bowlers didn't try a couple of short deliveries. It will be interesting to see what Abbas, Abbott and Turner do this week. |

I’d have said Peter Willey was the better player. He got a century against Michael Holding and co-in a Test match. That will do me.
He also played a decisive innings against us in the Gillette final of 76 seeing off some very fine bowling by Peter Lever. He actually played in the first day of County Cricket that I saw at Aigburth in 1970 though I had seen a day at OT Test in 69.He got the first of a pair . Ken Shuttleworth, a few months ahead of his 5 to 47 at Brisbane got 7-54 that day. Memorable day for this 11-year-old.

Don’t think Abbas bothers with bouncers John W but Fuller might. He can be seriously hostile.

Turner has only played one red ball game so far this season, I think, (form and fitness) but he's already built a reputation in a short career for bowling with serious pace. |
