Posted July 8, 20205 yr and it's raining. Hoping for play later but what a typically British start to the series. It did give time for a very powerful interview with Michael Holding, Nasser Hussein and Ebony Rainford-Brent.

Insightful, educational and very needed for some people in cricket to hear. For those who missed it, this is the first bit. Most of the conversation afterwards has also been posted on Sky's cricket twitter page.

There are a few people on this forum id like to sit and watch that with to see them still in denial...or not.

July 8, 20205 yr I wonder if they’ll play crowd noise at Derbyshire games. it'll make a change from beer bottles popping and curry recipes being passed about.

July 9, 20205 yr Let's hope this pitch is as dry as England thought it was when they decided to bat first. Windies have bowled well this morning.

July 9, 20205 yr Fascinating session. Some fantastic bowling but will that dropped catch be pissing the WI off?
