WATCH | Best moments from Round 7 of the County Championship
Round 7, though curtailed by rain, was fun
|The County Championship is by some distance the most enthralling domestic competition in the world for the simple fact that despite rain ruining 7 of the 8 matches that were played in Round 7, there were still innumerable moments to savor. What was the best of the lot? Well, decide for yourself.
Hameed's look says it all.ย It is illegal to bowl a snorter like that, Mr. Alzarri Joseph

Not sure what's more perfect - Chris Wright's smooth action, the actual delivery or the bowler'sย casual walk towards his teammates after bowling an absolute peach

WTAF, Mark Wood? If I were the batting side, I'd be hoping for the match to get rained out. Hell no I'm not facing that!
