Rory Joseph Burns

... cycles.

And it feels like maybe Surrey's coming towards that point in the cycle where they've got a few m- you know, they've got some players like Rory Burns and Sibley and these type of guys who have been around for quite a while-

Yeah

... who've been in the England team previous, in previous, I think, who have then had a really good back end of their career playing really good county cricket for Surrey, but who are now in their mid-30s.

This one, I totally forgot that this was a five-day effort, Adam.

Rory Burns, Ange Bastin-

Mm-hmm

... 2019, the innings that I described-

Um, I mean, yeah, the, uh, Hughes and, and Khawaja are the two that, um, that I sort of immediately when you started talking about it, and I, as you went through-

Hmm

... um, like Rory Burns as well, but yeah, the others I wasn't across.

But yeah, Kim Hughes, due to the fact that it was sodden, uh, and he came back and made 80 something the second time around, which-

And he's-

I reckon Rory Burns might put one down at second too

... he's obviously worked so hard to get up to this 600 wickets, and [laughs] it was the fact that the way you dropped it and then just in pure frustration lob it, the perfect direct hit.

My reaction-

They're big batters.

Rory Burns.

Uh, Sibley scored runs, but Ollie Pope, you know, I ...

If, if I could pick one moment, 'cause it's quite a vast topic.

He bowls Ben Duckett.

Rory Burns.

Oh, Rory Burns.

That's right.

And the ball almost swings around his back part.

Tom Laws was the pick of the bowlers with five wickets for 45.

In reply, Surrey were looking to get a first innings lead, and at 84 for two were looking good, until Rory Burns gave his wicket away with a loose shot, getting caught at third man off Ollie Stone, I think it was.

And it was downhill from there.

Uh, Notts have a relentless seam bowling attack, reminiscent of what Surrey had two or three years ago, and they're doing it now, and it's, uh, it's, it's difficult to, uh, to bat against.

so [laughs] they, uh, they could, uh, so, but, but, but that's great, they're having a side like that in there.

And it just means that every side, no matter how good and dominant you are, eventually you have to, you have to reinvent yourself.

And sometimes, you know, with, with, you know, there's a lot of talk and rumblings about, about Gareth Batty and Rory Burns, um, and you just wonder whether maybe, maybe they are at the end of their journey, you know? Maybe, maybe they've given what they can give, and it's, they need a new challenge, and we need a new challenge for s- for, for Surrey.

They, they've got to concentrate on getting us out of the, the pickle we're in.

... a rebound off the thigh pad, that is, that was not one in the form book today.

No, it was g- it was reminiscent of, but not, not as bad as Rory Burns at Brisbane-

No, no, no

... uh, the previous Test series
