The first 4 day Championship game at Portland Road begins today, at 11. Northants are the visitors.
'The only great banker, is the Lickey Banker!'
Same 12 as for the Worcester Friendly:-
Nahal
Shaikh (Captain)
Malik
Jani
Barker
Gekis
Dandy (Keeper)
Taz Ali
Simmons
Trodd
Walallawita
Taylor
Northants won the toss and chose to bat.
'The only great banker, is the Lickey Banker!'
9-42 in the past hour and a bit is a bit of a clatter there.
Shame Barker broke down after first 45 mins
What happened to him?
Hopefully nothing too serious just went for some physio on his back
Ok, cheers
Another century for Malik yesterday - that's his second in a week, together with a couple of 50's in other pre-season Friendlies. Putting pressure on First team regulars.

Barker back bowling in the second innings, which is good news.
I would bring Malik in on Friday - he's got a bit of a swagger about him and if he's in the runs you would assume he's confident.

Barker and Malik have been withdrawn from the 2nds game, to join the 1st team squad for Friday.

Can't see how Malik gets in Friday unless theres an injury, despite his form for the 2's.
A good win, by 8 wickets, in our first Championship game.
Stand out players:-
1st Innings Bowling - Che Simmons (16-2-66-5), Charlie Taylor (11-2-37-3), James Trodd (7-0-21-1) & Thilan W (8-1-29-1)
2nd Innings Bowling - Che S (8-1-15-3), James T (11-2-34-3), Taz Ali (13-2-67-3) & Keith Barker (5- 0-17-1). Barker was withdrawn on day 3 , to join the 1st team squad. Simmons' match return of 24-3-81-8 and Trodd's 18-2-55-4, were notable.
1st Innings Batting - Zen Malik (147NO off 219 balls), Arjun Nahal (41), Vansh Jani (41) & James Trodd (40, going in at 9). Malik was also withdrawn early, to join the 1st team, his recent form (2 centuries in a week) means he is pushing for a CC place.
2nd Innings Batting - Hamza Shaikh (32 off 19 balls), Vansh J (29NO) & Levi Gekis (13NO). Pushing to get the win, before the rain returned.
