Going well with the bat now as well. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets picked up by the IPL if he keeps this up.

I said that to my mate the other date who then reminded me that spinners in the domestic Indian game aren’t exactly hard to come by, so it would have to be as a proper all rounder.

Looks like Ezkinazi will replace Kimber as mainly a white ball specialist, Davey will replace Wright and Tattershall will replace Swindells as back up keeper. None of this addresses the biggest concern we have with the squad ie the lack of high quality top order red ball batsmen. We've got away with this in Div 2 as we have loads of good all rounders but Div 1 is likely to be less forgiving. 

Spot on

Throught Stevie E  from Middlesex was the other one

That would be impressive

[Walshy5]

Probably going to get slated for this but for me if Kimber is leaving that ain't bad news. Massively overrated making a career out of 1 good innings.

Ken Shuttleworth RIP never watched him play but by all accounts a fine bowler For Lancs Leicestershire and England

[SemperEadem]

Derby bowling well here.

[MaidstoneFox]

Return to form for Patel and Hill. If we bowl well, this defendable.

[Bert]

A defendable total for sure. If we can get their opening pair out early enough we have a great chance. 

[everton carr]

What a surprise Roman Walker heaping  praise on the hundred.Don't know why he's never going to play in it

[SemperEadem]

Green not bowled yet?

I agree. It feels like he’s a lazy batter, unprepared to dig in when the occasion demands

Started well for the first 4 overs and just took his first wicket

[Lionator]

Green to save the day once again 

[StanSP]

Could be a close one, this! 

[Bert]

Horror drop from Masood 

[Lionator]

Dal will do this easily

Lost us the game

[Bert]

They’ll be looking to hit a boundary in each over then run for singles. We aren’t bowling to take wickets, just to stop them scoring. These last two boundaries have pretty much secured it for them. 

[CL Fox]

Green is class.

[Bert]

You should never lose needing to defend 14 off the last over! 

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Should have pulled up with a convenient injury mid over to save embarrassing himself further. 

[when_you're_smiling]

Fk me. That wide man. That wide!!

[Bert]

How we’ve managed a tie after those first 3 balls I’ll never know. Still keeps us in with the very slightest of chances.
