Fancy batting badly against this pile of ****, how many of their team would you say were better than most of ours.

Embarrassing
Davies out, Kai in
Thompson out Bamber in
Booth in for either Taz or OHD depending on the wicket
Dan M, Gleeson, Booth, Kai Smith and even Garton would make a difference but fear its too late. The selections Im afraid are on Westwood, its more of a longer format line up currently than a T20 one. No power hitters, no real pace. Dreadful all round unfortunately.

I agree, it's all down to Westwood. Terrible squad selection, terrible team choice. At least 3 of that XI should be nowhere near a start - Davies, Vansh & Thompson. 2 others should be seriously doubted - OHD & a spinner (we can't go with two again). And Webster is, currently, a big let down.
Bamber, Kai Smith & Malik HAVE to come in. Booth, as well, probably. How can a team that hasn't lost in all six of its T20 games (our Seconds) not show the First team the way?!

Agree about Webster, he's much more a four day player than a T20 one. Really can't understand the thought processes when picking the current team.
Can’t disagree with any of the previous comments, bitterly disappointing; I think we can pretty much write off this year’s campaign already. Also question some of the thinking around bowling changes, Ali and Thompson were the most expensive and yet bowled at the end of the innings when we needed tight control as well as wickets. Webster was economical in his two overs so why was he not given a third? Why didn’t the captain bowl himself - is he carrying an injury?
The team looks seriously lacking in bite, energy and confidence and as others have said, the tail is far too long. A serious rethink is urgently needed if a total capitulation in this year’s T20 is to be avoided.
