Im not against the lad, much more agreeable to selecting him if he can give us some overs though.

I am optimistic for our chances in this competition. If we can replace Captain Barnard's all round contribution (Garton or Barker maybe?) we have a strong squad. Really pleased that Hain is available and skipper for this.
Looking around at other counties, Yorkshire have decent team and Hampshire should be contenders. Come on you Bears!
