Maybe because he was injured...

Currently sitting in Moseley and a family next to me are talking about cricket however, it feels sad..its all about the hundred

There is no reason, that with decent promotion of the county game they would be talking about a real affinity with the county game and not popcorn, skips, or whatever teams there are now

I am 34 so in theory I'm close to the hundreds catchment

Really enjoyed the game today !

Much rather focus on the positives (we did win after all!)

Impressed how much Pandya is getting into the game and team. Encouraging the players, advising them about fielding etc.
Possible he could stay for the 4 day games?

Great knock by Yates and Rhodes. I felt we were 20 runs short but overall good bowling effort

With the hundred it feels like there has been no compromise

Why couldn't each county side play 12 one day games, at least we'd get 6 games at home. Players not regularly playing in the hundred could be released back to counties to compete.

4 days at home in August is so poor

Great effort by OHD !

Can the commentators stop going on about the weather...we know how hot it is.

Bethall could do with going out on loan for the July championship games, particularly if we have Hain back

Problem with this approach is that two quick wickets and were in trouble, even though we would only be 4 down after 60+ overs.

Interesting comments from Stokes yesterday regarding intent of County players.

Sibley really can't plod around of strike rate at 30-40 if he wants to get in that side. I tend to agree, not saying every player needs to score at a run a ball but we need our openers to set the tone

Could Davies stand up to the stumps for Miles and Braithwaite ?

See a lot of medium pacers do well with wicketkeeper up

Fortunate to have star players in Hose, Hain and Benjamin

Really need someone to back up Stones

Miles..Braithwaite and Brookes haven't cut it this year

Why not give OHD a game? Norwell not good enough or a fitness issue ?

Braithwaite 3 wides in a row..

Davies and Stirling get another chance, need to show they deserve it tonight

Unfortunately our two weakest players should be our strongest..our overseas players.

Selection is really costing us at moment. Its about time we dropped Stirling and Daviss. Would like to see Lamb and Burgess given a go for Wednesday and Friday

My wife wasn't interested until I told her the Batsman doing so well was an Irish man..

Fellow Irish and suddenly interested in what an over is...what a good strike rate is 🤣

First game of the season for me, over from Dublin for the week

Nothing has changed (well maybe worse)

The beer and food are incredibly overpriced and the staff haven't got a clue!

From the warm up game today it looks like Bethall will open

Seems fair enough from this showing!

So how would you line up ?

Think I'd go

Stirling
Davies
Hain
Hose
Braithwaite
Benjamin
Bethall
Brookes
Brings
Linott
Miles

When stone is fine I'd bring him in for Miles

I thought McAndrew was seen as a Bresnan replacement ? Certainly has no where near the same ability with the bat

Batsman who have failed...have failed again

Games come along too quickly to wait/hope fortunes will change.

Poor start, need a big Hain innings now !
