Hopefully a decent score. We will see. Not sure why our batsmen are all out Chris Gale or Chris Tavere. Something between be great. Thought we lost momentum with Tattershall and Holland. Game just went nowhere for an hour. Feel Holland is to high in the order. First hour tomorrow massive get in amongst them and who knows.

Got a good technique with the bat set up well. Think he is a decent bowler in the right conditions. Not sure spring in the uk are those conditions though.

Probably but still bat first. Well I would. Pretty much always.

Why bowl first? Surely slim chance of winning be Patel on last day? Plus it will be a road. Dont get it. Be confident and bat first. But a big score on the board.

Great side. Some real quality. Chris Lewis waa so talented. I played against him about 5 years ago in Kent. Played for Roebucks. Now coaches a team call Minster in the Kent Prem. Good side. Masters also played their.

Leicestershire sign NZ captain for blast says on Twitter. But I dont know who the NZ captain is tbh Nick Kelly i think.

I dint think anyone except a prime Murali would be spinning anyone to victory on that surface. Just devoid of any life whatsoever. Well batted though. Teams impressive. Best team weve had since the 90s early 2000s.

Saw a bit of the 2s. Pitch looks white. Its only April Perhaps hoping they get some turn in the next few weeks. Tattershall played well in what I saw. As did Gumbs. Not sure if has left Surrey but often plays in our 2s. But its a tough surface for bowlers. As I say white almost no grass

Yep. Lets be positive. Great stuff. Still baffled by bowling first. But still. Two attacking spinners surely you want the oppo batting last. Holland still not a number 3

The Surrey bowlers no quicker according to that gun and I know Lawes is not a 78 80 mph bowler. Good display overall. Ahmed with a poor shot. Patel brilliant. So elegant.

Yeah defo wasnt working as it should. Didnt think today was a complete disaster. More control than last week. Obviously a fantastic side Surrey. Best some test sides. Competed just about. Nobody got hammered.

Saw Hull bowling looked ok, full pelt so he will come in.. Alex Green Crutches so not good. Patel will be in next game. Davey said it wasnt bad but who.knows. Mike is always either injured or just coming back from injury. So next game Hull and Patel for Wood and Singh. I dont see Holland as a number 3 tbh and id rather have Budinger ( i know he is hit or miss than Hill) Hill looks like he is still in hibernation get him some cricket in the 2s etc. Budinger Weatherald Patel Ahmed Eskanasi Cox Holland Green Scriven Patel Hull Ideally Davey for Scriven if fit

Bit early to say but not a great start is it. Bowled a few decent balls. Ive seen him play before I mean he is a league bowler normally. If the Aussie could catch be well on top.

So thats my only prediction in the bag got it in early.

Yeah. No mention

Got a hunch they may play Singh. If they go with only four seamers need them fit. Or could play 5 and drop Budinger. Not saying I would. But risky playing just 4 bowlers when Holland and Wood are such good bats. Patel Weatherald Ahmed Hill Eskanazi Holland Cox Wood Green Scriven Singh

Agreed. Deserves a chance.

So they may well play Singh then, Scriven, Holland and Ben Green. If Hull, Mike, Davey and Alex Green injured. Could play Wood? Obviously really dont fancy Walker if being netting and still not offered him a few weeks.

Think Alex Green has the most potential from what ive seen. If he can avoid injury. Good height and can bowl mid 80s. The Others are just struggling to kick on. Hull seems to be still at that potential stage and Mike is just always injured. Should be the finished article at his age. Alex Green I think has a bit more about him. Id like to see him play regularly in front of some of the Others. When fit.

Hull and Alex Green not far behind.

Ive seen him play a few times looks to be decent, sharp and got good bounce on the day I saw him. Looks ok. Not sure who else is injured. Surely more than Mike as we have what 8 other seamers?

Yeah. Its better than it was at least. Smoke and mirrors i agree. We are stronger on the pitch though, paying decent wages for better players. For years we were combining bad finances with poor sides. I think we can stay up. Stronger or as strong as Glamorgam and Sussex. Reasons to be cheerful.

Good signing i think, has a good record and a positive player. Pleasantly surprised if he is the replacement.

Not sure what the loss was as im not a member either now. Heard it wasnt as bad and a turnover was pretty good. But maybe thats incorrect after what you've just said. Almost every county loses money. I still like to go down but only if its a nice day weather wise and we dont play much in high summer. Days of freezing my nuts off in April long gone.

Maharaj Would never be available and the replacement can play all season. Good bowler. Could be worse. Some of the rubbish weve had down the years.
