Sadly true. Surely Dieter Klein is a better option than Mike and Naveen.

Still injured unfortunately

Do you think they will drop him from the next squad?

Harsh game for bowlers, T20, I would drop him on the basis that even his form in the warm-up games wasn't good and another tonking might wreck him. Barnes, Bowley, Evans, Rhodes all bowled well for the seconds today against Notts. Don't just keep picking players when their form is terrible.

[CrawlingFox]

Realistically with Ackermann, Parky, Lilley and Steel all in the squad we should only need two seam bowlers on most decks. Griffiths has done a solid enough job so one from Davis or Barnes looks a better bet than Naveen right now to me. Probably the former.

 

However I am willing to allow that despite his youth Naveen has played a decent amount of franchise and international level cricket. Perhaps (hopefully) last night was an aberration and he's just taken a few games to adjust to English conditions etc.

 

Ben Mike is one for me that could go. I'm sure he's in for balance as he bats a bit and bowls a bit but his bowling has taken an absolute thrashing so far and Welch is a powerful batsman who is well suited to this format.

Not so much a chant but a shout of "on your head son" is popular when Naveen bowls.

Griffiths has been terrible for every over bar 1 in this campaign 

[Sunbury Fox]

Naveen is arguably the worst overseas signing in our history. Please stop playing him.

[harpendenfox]

So after 6 overs, spin 3 overs for 15, pace 3 overs for 52. What can this be telling us?

[CosbehFox]

Absolute madness - going Northampton on Sunday, going to be fun 

[SexyGammonFox]

I like how we push the boundaries and are always looking for new and varied ways of losing. It's really very clever.

 

We're clearly pursuing the 'lose by as many runs as possible' option this evening.

[adam]

They have a frightening top 3. Have we ever had a side this bad in the twenty20. Naveen wouldn't get in Enderby seconds side. 

[SemperEadem]

Getting a whack here

[Sunbury Fox]

Mike has bowled 5.1 overs for 73 runs in the T20 so far this season.

[Bert]

Might as well have just chucked the balls up to them the bowling has been that atrocious 

[stevelcfc]

The bowlers end stumps have saved more runs than our fielders

[Bert]

Griffiths going for over 3 a ball so far  

[adam]

Lilley bowling a bit more filth  41 runs of 16 balls from his bowling. 

[walkerleeds]

This is an incredible over from Lilley. If he wasn't this poor usually I'd suspect some match fixing or something.

Why does he keep getting a bowl? We must have someone at the club who can bowl better than him. Anyone? Imagine the tea lady wouldn't be much worst.

What are the options? Griffiths and Mike are just as bad.

Theres an option that is to  stop picking the same side each game.

True. Anyone know why Wright doesn't play in T20 games?

Pretty sure that’s what we did 🙈

[PAULCFC]

Shall we just give up and concentrate on the one dayers?

[Sunbury Fox]

Griffiths 3 overs for 60!! In the last 3 matches he's bowled 8 overs for 130!!
