Couple of them Derby dismissals looked a bit iffy didn't they? And throughout the 4 days I thought the umpires were very keen to get off at even the slightest chance of any light drizzle...

On to the next one...

Notts away, are we expecting any changes? Vihari in? Stone in? Members in?!

Can we do this?!

Yeah ive missed, Eakin, Taylor and Wilford.

Good battling from Lamb and Bresnan today, can't have been easy with the rain delays etc. Lamb latched onto anything short and wide, didn't miss out, and Bresnan played close to his body. Pitch looks OK, ball coming on, overheads are clearly causing havoc though. It was tough viewing at times for us Bears fans!

Perhaps. At 140-4 they were looking at getting up to around 250. We took the last 7 wickets for 46 runs.

Agree on Rhodes, how an on field umpire can give that out is beyond me.

We'd have taken this at the start.

The best performances in 4 day cricket have come when we play 6 batsmen. 3 seamers, Briggs and Rhodes as 5th bowler should be more than enough bowling wise.

XIII for tomorrow

Rhodes, Sibley, Yates, Hain, Lamb, Mousley, Burgess, Brez, Brookes, Norwell, Miles, Briggs, OHD.

Norwell and Miles miss out for me. Norwell could easily get in ahead of Brookes though.

Seems legit. Fair well Pete, we hardly knew ye...

I always prefer us with 6 batsmen, generally. I'd say Malan isn't gonna be available.

Rhodes
Sibley
Yates
Hain
Lamb
Mousley
Burgess
Bresnan
Briggs
Stone
OHD

Sounds good, hopefully it can develop into a useful option.

Whenever Lamb has been given a run in the side he's done well.

He looked OK. Concern is that he gets out like that loads.

Vikai Kelley?

Sibley and Stone should be available.

Sibley
Rhodes
Yates
Malan
Hain
Lamb/Mousley
Burgess
Bresnan
Briggs
Stone
OHD

We have some good options in my opinion. Malan may well open. I like us with 6 batsman.

I'm not very happy with the allocated seating requirement at all. I like to move around a bit, watch different bowlers from different view points etc or it depends where the wicket is in relation to the outfield. I'm disappointed with the whole thing.

There shouldn't be any requirement for allocated seating at all after June 21st.

When do we think members will be allowed back in? It's been so long!

Have 2nd XI fixtures been announced?
