Or maybe Nikhil Gorantla

Jakob Bhula?

Taking a positive angle, it shows players that might otherwise fall out of the game that if they're talented and willing to graft, there's a pathway to a first-team contract through the Foxes.

An article on him from last year as well as some footage from his England U19 appearance v Bangladesh U19s in 2023 (also captained the England U19s v India 12 months ago).

He's better than his brother, Wrack

Another good run out for Farooq as England U19s beat South Africa by 76 runs with him breaking the back of the chase, dismissing their #3, #4 and #5 batters on his way to 3-43 off 8 overs.

Even with the step up his bowling has looked well below its best this season, it could well be he's having to manage a hammy niggle or something similar.

Eskinazi and Hull back in tomorrow's Blast squad, Rehan A, Mike and Scriven make way

Can't make my mind up what's worse, Kelly's call up for the tour or the absence of a recall for Ajaz Patel?

Taylor said post-match that Eskinazi should be back for our next game on Sunday, plus a couple of players could return from injury. The way he said it with trepidation, made me think of those might be Hull........

Jaw-dropping stupidity picking Sam Wood when we already have seven bowlers in the line-up - he tends to travel all around the park even at 2nd XI level?

Today's Spin newsletter from the Guardian features our own keeping wonder Ben Cox and the art of standing up to the stumps when the quicks are on. Good article.

If the club trains up Ben Mike, it kills two birds with one stone

Both very smart catches, there's no way Ravindra hangs on to either of them

He'll miss two Blast games when he's selected for the 3rd test at Trent Bridge

Rehan's first 50+ score since last season

Hasan Ali will be a big threat and took an impressive 4-18 against us in our last T20

Hill makes his ton

We get to 652 (exc. additional extras) if everyone either at the crease or still to bat just equals their FC career best. Easy.

Do you mean the 50-over Metro Bank One-Day Cup? As others have said, every chance that Farooq will make his debut at some point.

1310 match start if no more rain.

Speaking of spinning, Mary Whitehouse would be in her grave after reading that filth

Chance that Rehab will be playing at Hove, Bashir's been given the nod over him for the Lord's Test XII. Good effort (79 red out of 165-9) from Gumbs in our 2nd XI Twenty20 win over Notts today with Alex Green taking an impressive 4-24, Trevaskis 3-18, and Scriven returning from injury. Hull and Wood were laced for 76 off 6 overs between them as the Foxes won a thriller by 1-run.

Some good news on Budinger posted on X(crement) -
