Joins on loan
His stats do make bleak reading but I'd rather see Yates opening than Alex Davies.
We're gonna regret this. From what we've been reading about about him the past few weeks he's not far off getting these back issues sorted, he's used his downtime well and his pace is back. He'll be good to go in April I reckon. Yeah he'll always pick up injuries here and there but the games he does play wow what a difference he makes.
It's also another popular member of the squad leaving. Its a real shame this. I'm more gutted about Stone leaving than Sibley actually.
However, we do poach from others quite a lot so we can't argue when other counties come in and sign our players.
If Notts have offered him an all format deal then we could have. Even if he only played 3 FC games and the Blast it would have been worth it in my opinion.
We'll see what comes out but if it's a case of Notts offering him an all format deal and us not offering him one then we've essentially let him walk away. Which is mad.
Na, he offers nothing in T20 and has a low strike rate in 4day cricket so he'd wouldn't fit in as one of 'Farbys Favourites'...
I never thought we'd dominate for the next few years, there's quite often a drop off after a Championship title win, but I didn't think we'd be like this. I had us down for 5/6 before a bit of a bounce back to challenge again in 2023.
If we are indeed releasing Matt Lamb in order to create space for the likes of Mousley and Benjamin then its total madness.
Dan and Chris may well turn out to be the guys but right now they not quite ready for regular spots in the 4 day side.
It's beyond a joke at this point.
I said when we signed him, 'does he really walk into our 4 day side', and people thought I was mad.
Gets so square on and has such hard hands, he'll always nick off.
Miles good since tea here...
Just saw the belief drain from them as the session wore on. So flat in the field too.
Kent are VERY vocal...
I think Matt Lamb's record over the the past 3 or 4 seasons stacks up quite well against other 5 or 6 batters at other counties actually.
This dropping of him is harsh, he's averaging almost 50 with 2 tons and a very good 71 from 11 innings. Also a good 45 at Headingley, when he walked out with us in strife. There's gonna be batters in the the XI who haven't contributed anywhere near that this season but he clearly isn't one of Farbys Favourites so...
This is ridiculous.
So what time would the close of play be? I won't be arriving at the ground until about 2pm due to work commitments so I could really do with knowing what's happening!
I too have heard that about Davies.
Would suggest Lamb and Garrett and not involved in the 1's then...
Might have already been mentioned but that's the 2nd year in a row that the team who has beat us in the quarters has gone on to win the comp. We have such a galvanising effect...
