Possibly Briggs for Mousley?

Could bat deep?

Davies
Yates
Rhodes
Hain
Mousley
Barnard
Bethell
Burgess
Woakes
Norwell/Miles
OHD

Too much nailing

Strong

Bethell learning from Hain, beautiful to see. Different batters putting their hand up every game (apart from Benjamin).

That Bethell innings will live long in the memory. Stunning. Just shows aswell that you do have to back younger players and be patient with them, had we recruited a batter during the winter, overseas or domestic, Bethell would likely not have played much this season. One of the first names on the team sheet now.

Yeah I'd be shocked if Norwell played in any t20's, he doesn't have a yorker and has no variations. I remember him playing just the 1 t20 for us against Derbyshire in 2021 and he got pumped.

Yeah we've been terrific in the field.

I'm not sure a 40 average is the benchmark these days for a batter playing FC cricket in the UK with half the games played in April and September and far more result pitches being prepared due to promotion/relegation jeopardy.

Very interesting, thanks.

Yes I can't escape the thought that the redevelopment of the Raglan and Priory stands is merely a vanity project of Cain etc It just feels a bit unnecessary and over the top. When will the building and redevelopment work ever end. Its a bit unsettling.

We go again

I'd like to see Wylie get some run in the ODC.

I remember thinking it looked out at the time whilat sat in the stands and that the umpire appeared to be not looking. Shocking.

Garton doesn't have a huge amount in his locker with regards to change up deliveries and yorkers does he...Jamal just looks hittable, everything sits up, properly average cricketer im afraid...Hassan, he's OK but you can see why he's no regular at International level...Benjamin has struggled for a long while now and is a passenger in the field...Hain doesn't look himself, body language etc...Mousley had a good game today...Davies is trying so hard to rally, bringing energy etc but the bowlers are letting him down...Bethell looks exceptional and what a boundary rider.

Has there been any moments this Blast campaign, or the last, where Alex Davies inferior keeping has cost us?

And I ask this as a massive Michael Burgess fan.

Does Garton just normally not bowl at the death?

Dragging it back now

Showed some character tonight. Fielded brilliantly. Yates is extremely underrated in this format and is starting to become a bit of a talisman for us. Yes Mousley is getting out poorly time and again, bowling carries threat in this format though. Doesn't really get any turn but quicker ball is a great delivery. You felt the tide turning when Hales got out and crowd got up. Lintott and Briggs have been excellent the past 2 nights, Lintott is getting decent turn. Gleeson is legitimately rapid, no question. Benjamin looking like a bit of an odd man out, no runs and a bit of a passenger in the field.

Both

Blast Off for a comp that started 2 days ago!
