James and his giant peach

Forecast is mainly awful apart from Friday, going to be a lot of stop start cricket and surprised if there's any result. Such a shame after April and May has been largely dry.

I just cannot get my head around the fact project Bashir is not project Rehan. For a start, leg spinners are few and far between and decent ones are worth their weight. Secondly, Bashir is a pure number 11 where as Rehan is not only a fine spinner but a top order batter, so 2 for the price of 1. If the same amount of effort was spent on integrating Rehan as they have Bashir, we would be better off. He can still improve but can also play all formats which Bashir cannot. It's a no brainer for me. They should be trying to have as many crossover players as possible. Brook, Duckett, Jamie Smith, Bethell, Carse, Archer, Rehan can all play test, ODI and t20 and it's the best way forward.

We won there last year really well, Rehab bowled a couple of jaffas I remember.

Well we won but my god that was a painful last few overs, we should have won at a canter. Real lessons need to be learnt. Our experienced over seas players who were in and set should have never given their wickets away like that. Green was a moron and chasing such a low total we nearly lost again. We really need to start thinking because for large parts we played well.

No way. Why did Lancs use this wayward mullet as their death bowler

All down to dutchy

Wow, just wow. No words for this, this is a new type of insane. To lose about 5 wickets in 2 overs when we needed less than a run a ball is just mental. Suicidal.

If we lose this then I totally give up, amateur nonsense.

If we can't chase 145 then we will never win a game. Bowled well and fielded pretty well for once so need to make sure it's not in vain. A nice 20 ball from Budinger would do nicely. Truth is the run a ball shite they served up in the first 2 games would be more than enough to win this so no need to do anything stupid early on, keep wickets in hand.

We have. We used to play a game every year at Oakham school and I'm sure we played Notts at Kibworth last year in the Metro Bank

It's £20 odd quid when it's on SKY and YouTube and we are playing shite cricket so it's no surprise it's a poor crowd especially as it's a weekday too.

Beggars belief what we've done so far this season. Near enough hammered in every game. We aren't even competing at all. All facets of the game including captaincy and coaching are sub par so far. Team selection today was honking. Budinger has to be first name on the sheet in a t20 game, Hull needs dropping, fielding was shite. Dreadful evening.

I'm sorry but to win the toss, put the other side in, concede 78 off 6 and drop 2 catches and use 5 different bowlers is absolute amateur stuff. What has happened to this team from last year??

Why Ben himself hasn't bowled in the power play I don't know. Two overs for Hull equals always at least ten an over. Hate this team at the moment. J thought after the horrific football season the cricket would be nice respite but it's just as shit and annoying.

Already an embarrassment again. Terrible bowling, wrong toss decision, wrong team selection. Pick Alex Green and open the bowling with Trevaskis. Absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone know why Sol is not playing? And still Josh Hull is in.

More like it's just another thing to add to the long list of reasons.

Mahrez, Kante and Vardy and then yes I'd be interested. Against a team of players who played that season then yeah. The likes of Alderweireld, Dembele, Verthongen from Spurs, maybe a few Chelsea ones (imagine Hazard) Troy Deeney is an absolute piss take hope the only reason for selecting him is so he can keep getting elbowed or something.

Alex Green needs to play, probably Scriven too

As I said on Friday, resorted back to type of being whipping boys minor county shite. Same team same shit performance.

No lessons learnt from Friday. Run a ball rubbish.

Well him and Cox comfortably finish the job if the top order had come out not thinking it was a 4 day game. Absolutely shocking power play. You can usually rely on those top 3 to hit a few boundaries, but they literally wasted the first 7 overs and we couldn't recover. Kelly wasted his first ten or so balls too.

Ok yes we have won the odd one day trophy and done ok in the t20 from time to time, but the start to this season has been shocking. There's no excuses either, Glamorgan are flying and they came up behind us. Can't help but think Alex Green should be our Stuart Broad and playing at least in this format, and please when we win the toss, stop trying to be Ben Stokes and bowling fiest. It was sunny hot and a decent track so get the runs on the board. We bowled first v Notts and they got nearly 500, we bowled first v Surrey and the same outcome. Looking like a long season.

Shocking. Lost both home championship games badly, bowled out for 60 and now lost first home game in t20 against one of the weakest sides. Going to be a long long season. Hull, Mike and Trevaskis way too expensive, where is Alex Green? That power play of ours lost us the game and was a shambles.

Commentators as embarrassing as the performance. Every time there was a catch they got the player wrong who caught it. When Worcester were 170-7 said they are nailed on for 200, what with their tail nailed on to score ten an over? Total buffoons.
