Are we starting to feel Stuart Broad vibes with Josh Hull? He’s progressing so rapidly.

Absolutely how I see it, too

It’s a new accounting period

Like a drunk staggering home after a long night in the pub, we have somehow found our way home. If we could just play a bit more intelligently (as Goldsworthy did at the end to be fair) we will give ourselves a chance

This. It’s not rocket science. The field is spread. Take singles and a two maybe and see Willey off. I know cricket is easy from outside the boundary, but our lack of smarts is scary

Last chance saloon now as Kimber comes to the crease.

Handscomb is a proper classical player but struggles to find the boundary. Potters along at one per ball

Rehan averages 12 with the bat in T20. He’s not a number 3. If we want impetus after an early wicket surely in form Kimber comes in.

Well he has played 20 t20 innings, and registered one 50, with an average of 12.

Harry Darley. Second game. We give him his first two wickets in his first over. Bit pathetic truth be told

If Hanscombe doesn’t recover in time it would make sense to bring in Lewis as skipper for the last blast games. I’m quite sure we can’t afford to allow a senior pro to twiddle his thumbs whilst we hire someone on a short term contract

£70. Stunning waste of money

A regular in a mid table Prem side joins us for free? On paper that’s excellent business

Might stretch the catering budget

That’s a properly heartening win. No overseas. Plenty of injuries, playing against a good team. Great effort. Kudos to Ben Mike. I’ve given him plenty of stick and I am very happy to eat a good portion of humble pie

Roland-Jones going into Kimber mode. Just one good Yorker needed please

He’s played for a representative team against West Indies this week

Jim Ratcliffe is one of those monstrously wealthy big swinging dicks, like Elon Musk, who need to be taxed into oblivion. Nasty little man

It’s been a really half hearted performance down at Hove. A lack of dedication and skills on display from our boys frankly

And Sam! He and Harry won us the bloody Trophy!

Ben Mike proving his consistent lack of contribution across all formats. That’s a woeful batting performance aside from the overseas players.

Rishi has consistently improved his game since he joined us. I still believe Budinger may be able to do the same. Less so Kimber. But Budinger has to learn it’s not all about trying to whack it out of the park. Rishi’s knock last night was a masterclass in touch and placement. It really was an elite knock. Let’s hope Mulder finds his rhythm with bat and ball. He is better than he’s showing at the moment. We know this. Mike needs to start showing some cricketing intelligence or his career will soon be over. Plaudits to Scott Currie. Absolutely trying his heart out. And Goldsworthy.

3 wides in the first over we bowl. Our friend Ben Mike goes for 17 in his first over. Not a glorious start thus far at Wantage Road

Bodes well!

Why the hell give this over the Mike? Total liability
