Weather forecast suggests late start mid dayish

Any local local news re this

Is Barker injured?

Weather forecast (Although it can change) looks poor for the last 2 days so it could be a case of fill yer boots with bonus points and wait for the rain to spoil things.

Keith Barker has a knee injury, is was announced a few days ago.

So the most interesting thing on that scorecard isn't so much our team (which we pretty much already knew) but the Glammy scorer AK Hignell. COuld that be Alistair Hignell the dual rugby and cricket pro? I think he had motor neurone disease, great if it is still him that he is still doing something.

No it isn't and no he hasn't.

A certain Andrew Hignell, Alastair has Multiple Sclerosis rather than Motor Neurone.

As you were!

Really enjoyable first 4 overs. Relishing it!

Lovely ball from Bamber there, Hassan had to play at that

Great to have the kids in as well. Would be nice for them if they could see another couple of wickets before lunch.

I am a little surprised that Davies has kept his place and Kai has been omitted once again. Looking at the averages I would have thought Davies would have benefitted from a game or two in the 2nds. However I hope I am proved wrong.

I hope not! My dad has a presentation at lunch on Sunday!
