Went last year for our game in the ODC. A terrific place to watch cricket. My favourite outground by a distance.
Are you able to recommend any hotels?
Just remembered, Jordan Thompson will be in that Hassan Ali role.
Hass was terrific in the Blast last year to be fair.
Thought Woakes would have been filling that role?
Sams definitely a death bowler, which we have lacked. If Sams comes id imagine we'd be moving on from Garton eventually as we wouldn't carry a no.7 bat who bowls 1 maybe 2 overs. Would feel like a luxury we can't be having. Unless he's seen as somebody who could bat 6 and be a bit of a sixth bowler.
Could be anticipating reduced availability from Gleeson again?
We want Daniel Sams according to the Daily Fail.
I don't know why. Unless we're moving on from Garton.
Glos away first up.
Before his time i think. Bresnan however...
Good player. Don't think his availability would be great though.
Excellent news!
It's still absolute folly to me that he's anywhere near the Test side.
It's on the clubs social media.
Good news, definitely a player we should be backing. Got a decent amount of game time last season. Hope he gets a go in the Blast next year.
There we go then, cheers Highveld.
They (contractors) were measuring up v Essex and the toilet block under the Raglan was a no go zone with the groundstaff hut/tunnel area closed and fencing all up and around it and the lads sitting in a dugout on the Rae Bank side. Don't know how commercial construction/demolition and all that works to be honest, no idea whether their behind schedule or not.
It's fantastic news, it really is. Terrific player and person. Inspirational.
They've started no? During the last home game v Essex they appeared to be making a start.
Shouldn't do.
Despite not having played first class cricket since May 2024 has been selected in Pakistan's Test side v South Africa today.
I'd have said he's stepped up?
Just had a quick look, Garton and Gleeson are also in this comp. So is Moeen Ali.
What a player he was.
Fantastic news
