Obviously momentum and role definition is a big thing in white ball cricket and winning is a habit, but could we rest a couple of guys here?...

I'd like to see Rob Yates and Ed Barnard given another opportunity. Hain could be rested.
It’s an unchanged squad of 14.
While it is good to stick with a winning team it might be a good idea to bring in a couple who have not featured throughout just in case injury etc forces a change upon us at quarter and final days.

Yes, good point. I believe a player has to have played at least 2 group stage games to be eligible for selection in the finals rounds.
Didn't know this rule, but makes perfect sense to stop teams snapping up gun players for two days work. Given this rule, is there anyone potentially crucial/useful we have who's only played one game? Hassan, Yates etc?

The Bravo Rule
I believe it only applies to overseas players who have to play at least one group game to be able to play in the knockouts.
Bears win the toss and bowl. Same team.
You can always rely on Miles to get the opposition back into the game, what a terrible over, spraying it everywhere.

Surely he'll not play in the QF!?
Think the playing in the group stages only applies to overseas.
The averages make awkward reading for Davies. But could be worse, he could be Chris Benjamin. 11…. At the lowest strike rate of anyone. And not dropped. Mind boggling.
Nothing new here but Benjamin and Miles are such the weak links in this team and need dropping if we want to win the competition.
Another poor last over, this time by Foulkes. Got lucky at the end that he was only bowling against a tailender, those last 2 would have gone for miles against anyone else.
I do hope by the QF’s that Davies can keep, because apart from being poor so far with the bat, Benjamin (somehow) is even worse with the gloves.
Oh yeah forgot about our third rate overseas bowler, just not good enough.

Burgess surely must be given a chance!
We usually save such capitulations for the QF's
Miles out, Benjamin out for those games and hope that Foulkes & Garton dont have nightmares like they have in a couple of recent games
Burgess & Barnard in for me
Watching Benjamin play makes me angry. What is Robinson trying to prove?
He’s so out of form, batting poorly, keeping worse and yet apparently undroppable.

Likewise! When there's Yates Barnard and Burgess not picked instead its complete incompetence and negligence.
