Just looked at DB's CC Bowling averages thos season - 166.4 overs, 7 for 607, averaging 86.71! Awful?! How can Management justify constantly picking him. Of course, he remains a key white ball bowler, but First Class?

They've given just one game to Jake Lintott (who tops the bowling averages at 6.00 - 3 for 18, off 6.5). I know he's not a long term answer, but surely he should be given a chance - and certainly in these last 2 games?

He's only played six games out of 12; but I do think his credentials as a red ball bowler are extremely dubious.

If Bethell and Mousley are going to be missing we will be very short of anyone who can turn the ball. An emergency call to Lintott might be in order.
(Tongue in cheek) or we could ask Somerset if we could borrow Shoaib Bashir since he seems to be their third choice spinner now!

Has gone back on loan to Hampshire to play in the Global Super League T20 competition.

Three year white ball/coaching deal starting next season.

He will be a massive loss to our T20 team. It’s a shame that he is leaving but you can’t blame him for wanting to go back to his family area at this stage of his career.

I suppose if he isn't playing CC cricket for us, he has to wait ages to get a game and if we get knocked-out (If!) of cup games, his season is over. A huge loss to the T20 side as yesterdays figures will suggest, everyone else, 186 from 16 overs at 11.62 and he conceded 23 off 4 overs.

He's been our most consistent bowler for a long time and probably still has a good few years left in his playing career

He's a class act in limited overs cricket but he's never looked at all impressive with a red ball in his hand. He may well bounce around the franchise circuits for a while and good luck to him.
It leaves a gap - or an opportunity - for a slow bowler who can keep things tight. Are we talking an upskilled Mousley or is it time for Taz Ali?
