I'd sugest they are trying to keep Stone & Norwell fit for the first championship game.

I wonder if it’s a case of looking after them both. As a pair they’re pretty injury prone.
Interesting it’s Hose that drops out for Sibley. I’m guessing that leaves, a competition between Yates and Mousley for who stays when Malan arrives.
Yep, I agree that's the most likely option in future.
I guess Mousley will be 12th man tomorrow.
12 man squad - Rhodes, Bresnan, Briggs, Henry Brookes, Burgess, OHD, Hain, Lamb, Miles, Mousley, Sibley & Yates

Centuries for Sibley and Rhodes today. Yates in good form, too.
Just watching Matt Lamb bowl. It's difficult to tell from the video (not helped by a camera that being severely buffeted by the wind !), but is Lambie bowling spin ? Its certainly a spin action and (short) run up, not his usual (although it's been a while since I've seen him bowl). If so, I wonder if he's the mystery 'leggie' that Lickey Banker talks about !

Whatever it is, it’s different. A few paces at a jog, then almost stops, walks a couple of paces and then I think it is indeed leg spin. Could be a very useful tool if he can refine it. Especially places where pitches do something’s take spin like Essex and Notts.

I agree with you Bristol. Matt's action and runup today is entirely different from his usual - and he does indeed seem to be bowling leg spin. I think my assumptions (in the Adam Hose thread) that Hose is the mystery 'letfie', Farbs talked about in the Members Forum, was wrong - and Lamb is that guy. Much less surprise that it's him rather than Hose, as he is a more regular bowler (for the Bears and Barnt Green) and his medium pace was always suitable to turn to spin. We'll need to see more to be sure - or get confirmation from someone at the Club.
