Has signed a short term deal for the ODC.

Noticed it being discussed so thought id start a thread hope thats ok.

We start v Northants next Tuesday.

Barnard away, Hain with us.

Feel as though one of the younger batters is gonna be a little unlucky here and end up missing out due to the balance of the side. Yates bowled a lot in the ODC last season on dry pitches, can't see us relying on him to give us 10 every game though. Maybe we get 10 out of Yates and Jani combined? Feels fanciful. We got any top order batters in the academy who can bowl decent seam up?! How close is Garton to bowling?

More generally, i wouldn't be adverse to seeing someone from the academy get a game at some point, Charlie Taylor perhaps.

No Barnard (injured), no Yates (unclear). Beau will captain.

Last home game.

Somerset win at Derby last night extinguished our already extremely faint hopes of progressing id say.

Gloucestershire on a back to back, surely we do 'em?!...

Can we keep up our recent form?

Cross group game, must win.

Gunna be hot

We've had some heartache on this ground in recent times, hopefully we can pull a rabbit out of the hat this weekend.

Apparently we're in for a spinner and he's on the radar.

Indian off spinner has signed for next 2 4day matches.

We go again

Let's get going.

Unchanged squad.

No Mousley. No Glees. Tariq in? Taz in? Woakes back? Webster 3? Shaikh in? Where Garton? He's not played any 2's as far as I can tell.

We go again...

No more County Championship at Edgbaston til August 20th after this game...

Brook in for the visitors.

Is playing for Shropshire today...has he been released? I acknowledge there has been times in the past when contracted professionals have appeared for National County sides.

Been following the current round of the County Championship the last couple of days...this Rory Haydon who's getting wickets for Derbyshire, wasn't he in our academy at one point? I think he was.

A good test for us this weekend...
