Bunch of losers. They aren't going to change any time soon.

We'll see if he gets another gig but I can't see anyone wanting him. Most effective in t20 but as I said previously he isn't good enough to be a main spinner in CC or anything above a lower order batsman. I sympathise with him pparently being ostracised as he could have contributed in the 50 over comp.

I really don't get the Trevaskis love. He is only a white ball player and isn't good enough in either art in my opinion. A decent option for the 50 over comp but we need players effective in all formats. To me we need a frontline finger spinner and Rehan can compliment it when he is available.

Think that's an old one as he retired yesterday.

Probably trying to dispel any rumours of a rift.

Done now

Fml sums us up

Always was going to happen. It is a high scoring ground and we will just have to weather the new ball storm better than they did.

If memory serves Cox had a period where he was struggling when he first arrived but he is such a consistent performer and invariably gets a score or a catch when the team needs it.

Cox again

While the conditions are difficult the inability to leave the ball effectively has been our undoing throughout the season.

If they were looking at it objectively it would be below par because it appeared to be uneven on day one as the bounce was variable. I didn't watch enough of the game to judge but I have noticed the Grace road decks do generally have variable bounce over the game but it generally keeps low and not spit off a length.

It's as if he has just been not considered for playing since he announced his retirement at the end of the season and is concentrating on his benefit year.

That seam attack is potentially honking so I hope we can get a decent total first up.
