Any know much about Glamorgan's 18 year old Tom Norton?
He took a hat-trick on his first class debut against Somerset, it was the top order (James Rew, Lammonby, Vaughan), and has seven wickets in the match. He also took 3-41 in his only List A match. He doesn't look to have had any involvement with the England youth sides that I can see.

 

We’re chasing 211 in Durham 👊

We get the job done! 🙌

A nail-biting finish but we get over the line to take the win by one wicket! 🎉 pic.twitter.com/aeZ8jdedAd

Lots of hopefully minor injury issues building up in the Women’s cricket. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c99l409ylnmo

Baker, Rew, Gay and Robinson all in the England test squad. Matt Fisher also recalled.
Looks like an overdue end to Crawley's time.

 

I can see there being changes every test. Just get this feeling of a messy summer.

How long till Stokes and Robinson fall out again.

 

Former England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor has been named as fielding coach for the men's team for the upcoming series. I don't know about her overall credentials but her glove work was among the best I've ever seen, men or women.

 

She been keeping coach for the Lions for a couple of years now I think. The main coach is still at the IPL and not available for the first test.

Handy news for Steve Borthwick, who can now pick him for the Test against Fiji.

He can also play in the uncapped match against France.

Jamie Smith out for a second ball duck - bowled by non other than Harry Brook.

 

Absolutely delighted with that win for the red roses. All the injury’s all the travails and to do it like that in France.

Fantastic

 

I didn’t expect them to win today so easily considering the amount conceded in the big wins the rest of the Six Nations. It made me me think it be a repeat of Last year.

I just say I hadn’t really hewr sod him before bar seeing his name when I do my predictions.

 

He’s been good all season. Been seeing him near the top of leaderboards recently.

Borthwick is a big fan of him but nobody is happy. He can’t play in the South Africa match but could be in the 23 for the Fiji match in Liverpool,
