Rory Haydon and Callum Nicholls (ex-Glamorgan 2nd's & Wales NC all rounder) in for Che Simmons & Manraj Johal. George Garrett in the bowling side, Callum Nicholls in the batting.
We won the toss and put Surrey in. Henry B and Miles taking an early wicket apiece, but Surrey have recovered, now on 77 for 2.
We can't do much worse than against Somerset 2nd's ..... or can we?!

I wouldn't have thought so Lickey but then they do have some decent players in their seconds! Players who will definitely feature in first XI when they lose some to England.
Somewhat surprised by the changes, I have to say. You would've thought Simmons and Johal need as much game time as possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if Simmons is injured (again!) - as he did OK against Somerset (unlike most bowlers, with the exception of Brookes), but I reckon Johal was dropped. Haydon is a decent medium pacer and Nicholls, a very promising all rounder, with a good batting record for Glamorgan 2nd's & Wales NC and some useful off spin.

Another defeat - by 103 runs - but at least we put up a better show than against Somerset.
Our stand out bowler was Briggs, with 8 wickets in the game. Henry B & Rory Haydon bowled well in the 2nd innings, Garrett & Miles did OK in the 1st, but Miles was very disappointing in the 2nd - getting clouted for nearly 5 an over and only 1 wicket.
Best batsman throughout, was Amir Khan (83 & 48), though Ethan B and (Captain/Keeper) Benjamin both got 50's.
