Yes, I intended to put Barnard in. My 13 man squad was only 12 because I missed him out.

I think with T20 what we have to remember is players change. It’s a lot easier to improve in t20 because so much of it is mindset. There’s lots of ways to score runs quickly, not just smashing the ball over square leg. We see a lot of players come into their own later in careers as they learn their game better.

I mean Surrey had Sibley and Burns playing for them this year.

In Rhodes vs Benjamin. It’s a case of Rhodes had gone away and worked on his game. Got to allow players to think putting in that work is worthwhile. Who’s to say he couldn’t offer more especially as an all rounder.
And for Benjamin, he’d only gone backwards since that first season. In every format and various competition he’s played in. It always gets harder once teams have video of you, they can study you. Cricket is littered with players who had a good season or 2, but weren’t good enough once they were worked out. That’ll be his work this off season, is he good enough to overcome that or not.
