I thought the Sussex attack was also very 'samey', it just bowled better than ours.

I do think Westwood & Barnard need to decide on who they want as their 5 main bowlers in the side. I think the 4 seamers should be Bamber, Booth, Gilchrist & Barnard, then who should be 5th choice? Thompson or Woakes? Do we go down the spin route with Lintott or Taz Ali? Maybe even consider Garton with his left-arm seamers? I reckon Gilchrist will be back in the side this Friday, but i'm not sure who'll be left out?

Might they try Barker, at least we know he can take wickets but it's just a case of fitness.

Woakes, despite struggling v Sussex, is still our best bowler in my opinion.

For Friday it probably depends on who needs a rest or not. Oscar Rees for the Cricketer seemed to insinuate that Gilchrist and Booth will rotate. Woakes might rest here as he's still working back after a bad injury. I wouldn't look to make wholesale changes unless people need their workload managed.

I’m sure Woakes will play. He’s always needed to get his overs in to build his rhythm and he told me at the pre season nets he was fully revived and felt fine. It also looks like we could do with his batting.

At the moment it looks like he’s lost a yard of pace with his bowling.
