Harpenden Fox

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

Agreed. I’d really hoped Budinger could become another Patel. Despite the occasional glimpse he just gets out too quickly

A trend is emerging I’m afraid

Well I never. I thought Durham were going to walk that, but what do I know. Well done Goldsworthy, Currie and Hull at the end there

That, though, is a great over from Goldsworthy and an ice cool catch from Currie

Meanwhile Ben Mike seems like an utterly unintelligent bowler. Hull is miles ahead of him now

Totally. Nothing in the batting and bowling, but we ran badly, they’ve stolen some runs. Just basics really

Josh Hull is a proper prospect isn’t he? Looks the real deal to me

No doubt at all. He’s a fabulous player, but not a T20 hitter

I think there’s the makings of a decent T20 team there. Not so good today, and next weekend will be important. If one of Patel or Budinger come off our power plays should be very productive, and we have lots of bowling options. I’ve been encouraged by much of the last 24 hours
