How is he able to play for Kent today? It’s day 2 and the team was submitted yesterday? I wonder how Middlesex feel about this?

Are Woakes and Hain playing for us?

Ridiculous situation

Hain is available yes. It's not a must win game for Warwicks however so we might not bring him in.

I would though based on the fact we've not batted yet

If Sam was available he would have significantly strengthened the side.

There is an obvious choice of who should have been replaced.

When it was announced before the 3rd ODI it only mentioned sides in must win matches like Surrey and Kent.
But Lancs have brought Hartley back in, and they’re basically guaranteed 5th.
Not sure there’s much to gain for us, let Hain start his holidays early. Think his parents had flown over to watch him in his international debut, so maybe he can spend some time with them.

Yes, I thought it was only players for teams where something was at stake so don't know how Hartley crept in.

Looks like Crawley hasn't joined in the Kent game anyway. Totally mystified that Surrey on the other hand have been able to add 2 batters to their line up, to I assume replace 2 bowlers.
