There is some really sensible comments on this forum, I just hope that the club reads them and takes notice.
There really is something in the comments of "growing" our own players rather than buying in mercenaries. Finding a "Patel" should be the focus, committed, team player and available for entire tournament. Getting in players on silly money, only to find they cant play parts of the tournament, is madness.

I think they will play Benjamin, however, if he actually gets a bat at 7 you can assume that we have lost.

I would leave out Foulkes and have another batter. We have a rich slow bowling attack, really hope they have a track to suit.

Have seen or heard nothing to say that any of Benjamin, Foulkes, Miles deserve to play. If it's a slowish wicket as often is the case I'd play the 3 seamers inc Barnard with the 6 slower bowlers.
This really has to be the team. Hope that for once with home advantage, they have prepared a wicket to suit. I have a feeling that we have done our homework on the Gloucester team, have a plan. Feels like they are really up for this one, surely we cant choke again.

Big "if" given our tendency to bottle in quarter finals day. Scheduling, is a shambles and makes a mockery of finals day.

Really need the rules to be changed Group winners need to go straight through to finals day. We always throw in one of our worst performances in the quarter finals. I just hope that this year we actually take advantage of a home tie and ensure that the pitch and pitch position suits our strengths.

We need to have the Edgbaston ground staff to replicate the same pitch for any semi final.

Total comedy our signings for T20. The lack of a pace bowling option will cost us.

So he is OUT for the rest of Blast, that is a big blow we have zero luck with our T20 signings.

Really hope that this does not mean that Gleeson is injured. He was looking very good and getting better. We really need a death bowler in the steam. We don't seem to have any luck with our T20 signings.

Does anybody know how long its going to be before Gleeson and Hassan are going to be back. Will Mo be back and available for the Worcester game?
