That was shocking

Miles..brookes..Ali..Davies..carrying too many players

Nice if Maxwell fancies showing up to

Only Hain seems to have turned up.

Need a reset which includes dropping Moeen.

All the batting talent we have, Davies and Yates up top seems abit of a waste

Yates for Benjamin

Rhodes for Barnard

Maxwell to up his game

Great result and agreed, Davies was spot on today.

I know it was a bank holiday but that was a very impressive attendance today.

I'd suggest refraining from playing songs during the game that are played by football clubs..just a suggestion. Even as a Villa fan I don't want to hear footie chants at a cricket game

Stirling hasn't worked has he !

Hoping to watch tha game on YouTube. Doesn't seem to be any audio at the moment, same for others ?

Really poor today but predictable unfortunately. Surrey with Roach are just better than us

Rhodes.. questions need to be asked now, hopefully he can answer them. I'd be tempted to move him up to open and see how he goes.

Now I have a 9pm flight back to Dublin tomorrow with no cricket to watch..cheers guys!

Yep Rhodes is likely a good all rounder in a second division side ..hopefully proves otherwise.

We have a seriously lack of competition in the batting order which is likely to get worse with Bethall injured.

I'd go for Rhodes up top and see If he can rekindle the form he had with Sibley back in 2019 I think it was..

We can't carry anyone so I do hope he comes good over the coming months

The openers did alright for the first two matches though Highveld, it almost feels like you have been waiting for them to fail. I’m certainly not in the pro Davies camp but after a couple of good scores I’m willing to give him a chance to show some kind of positive consistency. Yates had a lot to prove after struggling so much last season but has already shown some good form.

I’ve not been following and have just seen the score though so it is of course disappointing. Let’s see what how we do with the ball in our hands.

It is certainly a tricky pitch in these weather conditions. It wasn't as though Davies played a reverse sweep..and he has started the season well

Agree with you it's very harsh and there's no need for negativity this early in the season after we have started well.

I've also travelled over from Ireland from this game so I'm hoping it lasts a few days 🤣

The light hasn't changed in 5 minutes but we have lost two wickets, very annoying.

We have to hope the conditions are the same tomorrow and we can bowl surrey out for around 200-220 then try bat big

OK ffs..

Damn that's annoying

If we went off with 6 wickets down that would have been a great little session

If its still cloudy tomorrow a score of 180 I don't think will be too bad

Time to head off now !

They are slightly ahead I'd say

We have a great bowling line up for this weather.

Arrived today

Decent bowling line up, talented but unproven batting line up.

Fingers crossed !

I will go first

County championship..relegated, I really fear for our batting line up

T20 blast..quarter finals

One day royal cup..group stage.

First game

Davies
Yates
Rhodes
Hain
Mousley
Barnard
Burgess
Woakes (Rushworth if unavailable)
Norwell
Hasan Ali
OHD

I believe I've done this the last few seasons so here I am again..So !

Guess the following

Position in County championship

The Blast

One day cup (very hard to guess)

And finally..team for our first game

Ahh that's fair, I hope it would be down to injury.

Sam is not in the England lions squad.

What does this guy have to do !?

If I was him, I'd be regretting not pursuing playing for Australia.
