Latham has been called up for NZ as captain v Zim. I was under the impression Webster would be back for the Essex game? It is difficult to keep track.

Was under the impression Latham and maybe Webster might be available?

84 and a 2nd innings ton for England u19's

A now they have to rush through 2 more Tests before the end of the month in order to accommodate the Hundred.

The best sport in the world is being ruined.

Too many games in too short a space of time I'd say. Hundred will be played during the school holidays and get much better marketing too.

Yeah great fielder, no question.

I never thought it was a below par total, just the same old people booting the boot in on us again.

Garton's batting ability has never been in question, i still think he's a good way off in 4day cricket though. Fair play to him.for hanging on in there this season though, hopefully he's peaked at the right time.

Clinic from Briggs this.

Like I say, I agree, look further up, I suggested the Latham dropping.

Fair play to him. Seemed a nice lad and was good v Surrey particularly at their place but he's a long way off being a regular with us again.

He can have no complaints, Warwickshire have been incredibly good to him over the years. Good luck, Milo.

Mate, I'm agreeing with you.

I wouldn't say Latham has done nothing but he's a bit of a passenger in the field and his last 4 t20 innings have gone 6, 2, 23, 8.

It's a close call.

Wonder who he comes in for...Latham?

It's the lack of front arm that gets me, how is he generating so much pace from that. He's utterly rapid.

Exceptional win. Loved how we kept going hard with the bat, particularly Mousley and Barnard, despite the loss of the early wickets. T20's really can be defined by what happens in the PowerPlays. Lancashire stayed there or thereabouts with the rate but we kept taking wickets, it really is the best way to control the run rate. Modest but enthusiastic and supportive crowd this evening.

That's the catch of the season from Rob Yates, what a fielder he is.

GARTON!!

2022 we played Kent at home sort of early July and it was about 40°c on day 1. Was a Tuesday start, practically nobody was there.

There was a period from May 2018 til about July 2019 when he got the nod over Matt Lamb for every 4day game. I think it affected both players negatively as it meant Hose struggled for over a year and Lamb got dropped having not really done a lot wrong. Another example of a player recruited from elsewhere getting favourable treatment over a homegrown lad.

Fair play to Adam on this award though, lovely bloke.

Specifically about yesterday's game, Chester le Street is such a difficult ground to chase on with the large boundaries, one of the keys to playing there is turning 1's into 2's and we just didn't do that well enough, particularly in the first half of our innings. Game management let us down.
