Day 1, Bristol: Oxford University 197/3 v Gloucestershire
The fact that Gloucestershire players Jon Lewis, Ed Young and Richard Coughtrie are all playing for Oxford University in the county’s opening warm-up match of the season should tell you everything you need to know about the competitiveness of the game.
For the record, the students (and assorted ringers) finished day one of the two-day match on 197 for 3 off 77 overs. Stand-out performance of the day came from young seamer Liam Norwell, who finished with 2 for 14 off 11 overs.
A Gloucestershire spokesman told this blog that, weather permitting, the students will bat on for another 13 overs this morning before letting Jon Batty et al have their turn. However, seeing as this is a two innings a side game, it’s difficult to see how any positive result can be reached.
