Looking at the pitch and conditions, I’d think that whoever wins the toss will choose to complain first about the ball…

So sorry to hear about @waynelarkins2 Amazing batter. Years ahead of his time. Huge part of team that won Northants’ first trophy. Played in a WC final. Hit winning runs in a Test v WI. And he was a lot of fun. Pic from a night we were thrown out of a bar. Damn shame.
