Agreed, I'm stunned he's not playing here.

Rhodes
Yates
Malan
Hain
Lamb
Woakes
Burgess
Bresnan
Briggs
Norwell
OHD

Woakes in gives us such better balance.

Was immense for us 2011-2014. Some of the fields we could set for his bowling! Gave us a wicket taking option with the old ball. Genuinely hostile. He dropped off a bit after around 2015. I wish him well.

Nottinghamshire at home starting Thursday. Slightly better weather forecast.

Woakes in?

Sibley, Stone out?

Weather prospects look pretty grim for today.

Let's hope so...

It's not the XI I'd have picked, but we move...

I'd always play 6 batsmen with the keeper at 7 unless the keeper is a genuine gun batsman who can bat in the top 5. Most other counties go with 6. We tend to always have the extra bowler though. It's crazy to have the extra bowler when we have Rhodes who is very capable and able to bowl 12-15 overs a day if required.

Miles is still injured. Could leave Norwell or Bresnan out and have the extra batsman.

Squads up. The XI that drew with Worcestershire plus Brookes and Sibley.

Not interested

No Sidebottom, no Johal either. Lamb and Sibley will play today only surely?

Are we expecting anybody who has been in the 1st XI to feature in this? Or just the usual 2's guys?

Really? This is crazy.

2012 really was great times.

Maybe, for one game only, Rhodes needs to sit this one out?

But like the man says, this game feels like a long way away at the moment!

Root wasn't it?

Moving on from the Worcester game.

Essex away. Essex need a response after we put them in a tail spin!

Sibley back?
Woakes in?

Draw. 13 points. Worcestershire look pretty handy to be fair. Our group is so close points wise.

We move.

2nd game in a row we've failed to bowl the opposition out?
