Johnson being carted around by Northants too, 0-42 off 7 overs :icon_bigg

McDonald doing well, which is a decent omen for next season. It looks like he'll fill the gap made by Allenby and more so.

Johnson going round the park in the second innings. Hopefully he'll still be in the Aussie team for Edgbaston though. Clark looks to have played himself into contention which is a blow, top player who'll give them control.

You are right, unfortunately Johnson has been too rubbish in this match and could well lose his place for Thursday. Although the Aussies are apparently keen to keep the same XI

Is it definite about Allenby leaving?

 

[CM]

Nothings official or for definite, all I know is that Kent made an approach and a few other counties are interested. I would just be surprised to see him stay considering the money and opportunities available.

Would be a real blow from a one-day/Twenty20 perspective. But as you say, if the offer comes in then it's inevitable. That is, if he's out of contract?

As you say McDonald will/would be a great replacement.
