I was quite surprised to find we were still in the competition, I though the Leics game finished it. Would take some sequence of results tomorrow to happen though and some run rate swings.

Was at a wedding so missed all but a few balls of the Lancs game, seemed a good one though. Unpopular view re Davies is he has now scored more runs at a better average in the competition than Kai Smith, which muddies the water still further. One of the few overs I saw was Gilchrist's first and seemed very messy with two wides and a no-ball, hadn't seen Charlie Taylor show that so hopefully the latter can kick on and be a good player. Here's to a good game tomorrow v Kent.

Kai has actually scored more runs from less innings and at a better strike rate. While batting a lot lower, and having to sacrafice his innings at times to help the team situation.

Sorry you're right, misread the table (and I was looking at the same table). That does seem a bit more believable.

Meanwhile, Hamza Shaikh is averaging 81 after seven games for Leicestershire.

Theo Wylie scored 65, on debut, which gives him a higher average any Malik & Davies combined or Jani.

We should remember that Shaikh chose to leave Warwickshire, he had obviously talking to other counties for several weeks before his loan move was agreed.
