TOBW: think Cooke did miss a stumping chance late doors yesterday but hard to be too hard on him given the length of his knock in what was essentially a full on summer day’s conditions.

Agreed re: pitch prep too. I’d personally take bowler friendly wickets as bar the PBs for some batters and enjoying the weather whilst being there this has been a bit of a non-contest.

Not gotten to catch much today but watching the last overs now and seems to have gone as predicted. Didn’t realise Byrom dabbled with any bowling till a wicket notification came through earlier!

It was 336-2 last time I looked, so I don’t think Cooke’s missed stumping made much difference.

Agree entirely about bowler friendly conditions because it often results in a good, close game, whereas long form cricket would die as a spectator sport if it was always played on pitches like this one.
