One or two counties probably means us and Middlesex.

Would have thought the 'host' county would be Yorkshire given their recently-revealed racism controversies.

I wonder if we picked up a few extra players anticipating covid absences etc. Looking at those two XIs I think we've a lot of decent players and not enough really good ones. Finding them easier said than done but we can't afford to carry the likes of Rhodes and Dearden if they're not playing surely.

 

Next season I suspect we could shed a few and perhaps put any budget freed up towards an overseas fast bowler to supplement the attack in the four day games. A Neser or Mulder type would really boost the side.

Yeah, clear out some deadwood and spend the money saved on a good quality overseas all rounder who can bat in the top 6 (to shorten our tail, which is currently too long) and be a threat with the ball. I'm assuming we could field Ackermann and Harris in the same team as well as such a player, given that Inglis was allowed to play alongside them in the last game.

Yes Ackermann can play as non-overseas due to his Dutch passport.

Griffiths conceded 20 off his first over :surrender:

Ben Mike with just 15, tight by comparison.

 

Clark will fancy another ton here.

Thankfully I jinxed him.

Got himself out to a terrible delivery, a gentle half tracker from Ackerman, should've gone out the ground.

our ability to throw away games is truly world beating

Going to throw this away aren't we? Some awful running and shot selection.

Just need to nibble a few singles around to win with plenty of wickets left and we go for daft big shots. Madness.

Something about Naveen I love the chaos and ability to take you high to low in an over. Perfect for County, just as you think he has nailed it. Chucks one head height. 

 

I like him. Interesting to watch. Bring him back next year!
