30 short, odd innings and even odder bowling changes

Why put them in? Every time Kimber wins the toss he gets it wrong, they're smashing it everywhere and will no doubt get 200 and we will have huge pressure. We bat all the way down to 9 and 10 why not bat first and get the score on the board??? 

Some 200 that

[HaroldBazBo]

Credit where it's due. To have them cashed out before 20 overs at sub 8 an over after that start is some going.

 

Van Beak finding his straps at just the right time.

[James and his giant peach]

I take it all back 🤣🤣 that's a poor score on that pitch, we should definitely be getting 156. If Clarke and Sams and had stayed in a bit longer it could have different, the catch by Scriven to get Clarke out turned the game. From ten an over power play to 156 that's good going for us. 

Van beek and Scriven brilliant bowling. 

[Ted Maul]

Very doable chase. The result here could end up defining our t20 campaign, either way.

[Beagle]

I think Louis has got everything right except bowling Mike for the 19th. But he got away with it! Great performance from the lads.,

Yes mate I just said I take it all back. They should have got 200 after that start and the pitch looks good, Van beek and Scriven and Trev bowled well. 

[CrawlingFox]

Scrivo has become a really good bowler in this format.

[StanSP]

8 an over required. No need to take any risks.

31 FC bowling average

27 in 50 over cricket 

24 in t20 

 

He’s a high quality all round bowler, just needs to stay fit.

Budinger wants this done quick. Great shots so far.

As somebody is guaranteed to kick off as soon as the Foxes lose a wicket, feel free to copy and paste into your post just to save yourself some time:

[StanSP]

Fvck. Jinxed him. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Great catch

[goody2028]

Some grab that 

[Wsl]

Cheers, LBTufty!

Its not normally you to be fair, but someone jinxes it every game

What the hell is Patel doing, an absolute tool trying to clear the boundary when we only need less than 8 an over to win

 

[Sunbury Fox]

This pitch is not easy against the spinners.

[Ed 1]

Really don’t see the benefit of Masood at 3 in the powerplay. Very similar to Handscomb in just slowing us down. We’re playing t20 mate!

Did the same on Sunday, too. Been hugely disappointing this season. 

[LBTufty]

That Montgomery looks like he's chucking it!!

[Staff]

Surely Patel needs dropping from this format

Who would we play instead, though? Don't have loads of batsmen in reserve.
