Third game of the championship season.

Hopefully Ian Westwood has done a deep root cause analysis of our issues from the previous games and is prepared to make the needed changes to resolve the issues.

Kai Smith has done enough to be assured he has the keeping gloves for the rest of the championship season, There are good reasons to rotate some of the seam bowlers, what is concerning is the lack of a top quality spin bowler. Perhaps we need to see if we can get Cory on the next flight over for the rest of the season.
Yet again, the top three in the order are consitant in their inconsistancy, and regularly fail to give us a good atart to an innings, which has a massive negative effect on the rest of the batsmen, and the bowlers, who get less time to rest between innings than they should. If the budget allows the club should be looking to see what top order players are available on the loan market, of from Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, as we currently have a second overseas player slot open.

Tell us you haven't watched the first 2 games without actually telling us you haven't watched the first 2 games...

No specialist spinner. Barker in the 14. Green seamer incoming perhaps?

The weather looks a bit mixed for day 1 with rain maybe before lunch and after, not sure if I will go. Whoever wins the toss might decide to have a bowl if it looks dodgy overhead.
