Apologies, currently on very strong painkillers for a back problem so a bit drowsy.

Too much nailing

Fantastic from the bowlers again and our fielding has been on point.
I'm running out of superlatives for Jake Bethell. That partnership with Hain from 7/3 must be up there with the very best in T20 for the Bears.
Poor Benjamin really needs a break from this situation. Burgess must be wondering if he will ever be given an opportunity.
Still, can't complain at being on top of the group but we have to be on top of every facet of our game for the knockout stages.

Not been on for a while but a couple of things to mention on out T20 so far:

1. Our bowling attack is really on point with lots of flexibility, options and threat.
2. It is really nice to see home grown/youth playing key parts with Yates, Haine, Mousley & Bethell in particular of late.
3. I am worried that our batting is not deep enough when we come up against better attacks and that we over rely on Hain, Mousley & Bethel for the bulk of runs. Barnard needs to play in place of Benjamin, giving us another bowling option and with so many all rounders available we could put in another batsman (Burgess?) if we get through to the knockout stages.

Don't know if Moeen comes into the Blast after the T20 world cup, if he does I reckon he bats top six for the rest of the season block. Mousley has done nothing wrong with the ball so far, but would like Mo to take some of his overs too. Let the lad focus on his batting. Other than that I don't think much needs to change. I don't think it's in anyone's interests to have Benjamin struggle for six more games.

Does anybody know how long its going to be before Gleeson and Hassan are going to be back. Will Mo be back and available for the Worcester game?

Did hear that Gleeson has a side strain, likely to be out for 4-5 weeks unfortunately.

So he is OUT for the rest of Blast, that is a big blow we have zero luck with our T20 signings.
