Barnard’s had a pretty exceptional game so far. Enjoyed his rotation of the seamers and also led by example with his miserly spell. Really impressive.

Woakes ball to Verryenne was excellent - it sent his middle stump cart wheeling out of the ground! Excellent bowling - Booth is also looking so good......the commentators liken his action to Peter Siddle.

Just reflecting on yesterday again, it's so exciting that Michael Booth is really starting to show his abundant promise with bat and ball. Crucial and powerful runs to get us to the max batting points, fiery and aggressive with ball. Still room to improve, but he's really looking like someone with international attributes to me. Excited to see what he can offer with a run in the T20 side this season too after some impressive ODC performances last year. A stereotypical "X-factor" player.

Should have had a run out there!
