That's a decent and quick bit of business.

Suspect they knew a few weeks back that Handscomb wasn't coming.

Handscomb seems the type of guy that might have even helped make some enquiries to set something up so as not to leave us up shit creek

[Samu]

Wonder if we’d start matches with 5 seamers given most of them can bat? Possibly something like this…

Budinger

Patel

Rehan

Weatherald (would potentially put him here rather than as an opener to solidify the middle order or play the Handscomb role)

Hill/Eskinazi

Cox

Holland

Green

Scriven

Davey

Hull

Hill and Eskinazi will both play....it's likely that Scriv will miss out harshly

Nope, I overheard at the Leeds/Bradford game last week a conversation between Titch and someone I didn’t recognised and he was planned to get here on 1st April after the shield final. 
 

There’s no reason why Wetherald couldn’t jump on a plane with a days notice really. Visas aren’t really issues with Aussies.

Based on it being for personal reasons though, I doubt he'd be going round talking about it too much when it hadn't been announced yet.

No problem. Goes with the territory of an international cricketer these days. And it’s a short career. She might even relish coming over with him. Plenty do.

They might like the idea of living in the English countryside for a few months. Not that radical mate

Market Harborough/Kibworth or Rutland/Stamford in most cases. They love it for a couple of years or so.

Must have changed then most used to live in the City centre mind you in going back to the HD Ackerman days

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Handscombe not coming limits us in terms of him keeping wicket instead of Cox and playing a spinner, a little less flexibility for team selection. 
Id imagine 

Patel 
Budinger

Wetherald 

Hill

Eskinazi

Ahmed (if allowed)

Holland

Cox

B Green

Davey

Hull 

 

The order will probably be different and maybe Scriven if the Aussie isn’t here.

Can't seem us bowling out many sides with that attack.When's Patel the other OS arriving?

[FOXYTALK]

Meh

[Walshy5]

Thinking about going Friday but forecast doesn't look great so don't know weather to risk paying  as i'd only be there till about 2:30 due to going football. (I know 🤦‍♂️). Nothing from the club yet saying whether it's still free entry after tea or not. Anyone in the know?

A few high scoring draws will do at first.

Believe it is only being worn for one game and currently is not on sale.

It's been free after Tea for over 40 years at least so amazed if that changed.Barely anyone pays to watch a full day let alone a couple of hours.It would cost them more keeping a couple of people on the gate then they would make..

Yes the way the scoring system works not that much difference in an high scoring draw then in a low scoring win.

[Lionator]

Seems we made a small profit last season which goes against what others have said??? She seems like a good egg, priorities seem to be in the right place.
