But better for us because we'll have him for the 50 over competition.

I honestly think Rudkin is deliberately winding the fans up because he knows we hate him.

Probably because the ECB hate us and they don't like that we're winning.

Get Padded up early then!

Terrible T20 side. Even the 2 home wins we had we made harder work of it than we needed to. Oh and I take it back again. Kimber is a terrible captain!

Maybe I was abit harsh on Kimber yesterday. Just couldn't believe we nearly thrown it away. I'm a natural pessimist and even i said there's no way we can lose this now when they needed around 17 an over at 6 down.

Would've been the biggest bottle job in T20 history had we lost. I was sat there in the last over thinking 'How has it come to this' Kimber is not captain material and should step down!

Gutted Ahmed is missing but I suppose pleased for him at the same time. Contributed massively with bat and ball against Lancs. I'm assuming Ben Mike is still injured? Handy option to have in this format as a 7 or 8 to get you a quick 15-20

It's deliberate self sabotage by the ECB so they can push the Hundred!

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Northants just weren't taking any risks and they didn't need to. They were always in full control.

Shocking batting performance from our top order. I do hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

Yeh just found it! Patel gone first ball! 🤦‍♂️

Is there a YouTube stream today?

No Doubt Samit and Madsen will be the winning partnership! 😏. But yeh with Ahmed and Hull out Plus Mike injured we look very weak. Where's Holland?

That doesn't inspire me with much confidence. Kimber averages about 9 an over and doesn't take wickets and I've never known Budinger to bowl.

We can cover Hull but we need another spinner on loan now id say.

We'll need cover for Ahmed now he's been selected for England

So what do we think the team will be for the first T20 game? Looking at the Staffordshire games I think it'll be something like this:- Patel Budinger Kimber Masood Ahmed Cox Mike Van Beek Trevaskis Scriven Hull Abit concerned we're short on batting after Cox, and Ahmeds strike rate and average ain't great but they insist on playing him in the top 4-5

Ahmed made get picked for England during the Blast so availability could be patchy. So Parky would be a good option otherwise we'll only have Travaskis as a spin choice. Would sooner went for another Goldsworthy loan though but can't see that happening.

I've asked this before but didn't really get a proper answer. Does anyone know if the club are still doing the free after tea this season? I'm thinking of going down for a couple of hours after work on Friday.

Anyone know what the situation is regarding Josh Hull? Are England basically calling the shots saying when he can and can't play?

New season, same old shit!

We need to sell before we can buy. Problem is, who is going to want the likes of Ayew, Reid, Faes, Vestargaard, Soumare and Skipp? All of whom have long contacts! What a depressing time

Jarvis is all mouth no trousers and frankly hasn't got a clue. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if he's siphoning money off us! You have to ask why are the likes of Derbyshire and Northamptonshire not in the same financial mess as us? Jarvis out!

Now let's get another loam for Goldsworthy!
