Moving forwards, who do people here want to see in the team for the next game?
& what do you think are the key reasons for the performances this season?
There is no vendetta.
Also, tickets for the games are still available link below.
So to claim the ticket office closed a month before the event is incorrect!!!!
If seems our not very "Super moderator" is becomng the local "Stan Flashman" touting even more tickets.
Obviously he seems to think he can totally and deliberately ignore the ticket conditions of sale and the law.
"The unauthorised sale and/or offer to sell a Ticket, exposure of a Ticket for sale and advertising that a Ticket is available to purchase will constitute a criminal offence under the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act 2020 and action may be taken against offenders."
The side have lost the last two games since Matt Lamb was left out of the side,
Fielding restrictions were introduced about 16 years later around 1980, after the World Series Cricket ODI's in Australia.
Very poor dismissal for Davies, he was totally unbalanced.

"I too have heard that about Davies."
Would you be able to share more?

"I’ve got no problem with it. It’s not like they’re being sold for a profit."
You are assuming they are being offered at "face value", but even the act of offering the tickets is a breach of the conditions of sale and the comonwealth games act.
"The unauthorised sale and/or offer to sell a Ticket, exposure of a Ticket for sale and advertising that a Ticket is available to purchase will constitute a criminal offence under the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act 2020 and action may be taken against offenders."
A very good comentary team today, including Richard Wilford and the excellent Jeremy Coney.
Overton has a hand injury.
At no point was the face value stated, but regardless of that, the post is supporting an ilegal activity.
"The unauthorised sale and/or offer to sell a Ticket, exposure of a Ticket for sale and advertising that a Ticket is available to purchase will constitute a criminal offence under the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act 2020 and action may be taken against offenders.""
Is that acceptable for a forum moderator?
Do the conditions of sale allow the resale of tickets?
Should the forum be supporting ticket touting?
Clause 8 of the ticket conditions of sale
"8. Any ticket offered, exposed and/or advertised for sale, sold, transferred, used or disposed of other than through Birmingham2022.com, the Official Resale Platform or an Authorised Ticket Reseller will be void and/or cancelled by Birmingham 2022 without notice and any Ticket Holder seeking to use the Ticket may be refused admission to or evicted from a Venue by any Authorised Person without refund or compensation, and must deliver up any and all Tickets in their possession at the request of an Authorised Person. Further, Birmingham 2022 may pursue any other legal remedy available in relation to the breach. The unauthorised sale and/or offer to sell a Ticket, exposure of a Ticket for sale and advertising that a Ticket is available to purchase will constitute a criminal offence under the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act 2020 and action may be taken against offenders."
Yates is praised for an innings agains a poor Notts 2nd team attack, Lamb scored almost as many and is not mntioned and still omitted.
While Davies is allowed to continue in the side despite failing in almost ever innings.
How is that building a team to win trophies?
a player who, excluding one innings, is averaging under 9 as a specialist batsman, should not be anywhere near a first team place.
Recalling Yates would be yet another sign that mediocratiy, and worse, is accepted from favoured players.
Davies & Yates should not be playing first team red ball cricket again this season.
Hose has always failed in red ball cricket and has done nothing this season in red ball 2nd team games to justify a recall.
Also, how can you justify recalling Yate? The figures show he is not worth a first team place this season.
The current championship averages
This shows why Yates was dropped, the question should be why was he allowed to stay in the side so long?
7 games 11 innings 141 runs average below 13, take away his one decent innings of 55 and the average is below 9, that is not acceptable for a specialist batsman.
I'm peased he's got another chance in the first class game, hopefully he's a success at Somerset and has a long career with them.
He's also developing a career outside the game in top end property development and rentals.
What percentage of the time he's been with the club has he actually been available for selection? under 40%?
That is the reason why the club may only be offering a white ball deal.
What is illogical is the three year all formats deal for Lintott, who doesn't play red ball.
Just read that Andy Umeed, who we discared has signed a contract with Somerset.
For the next game, Lamb has to return to the side, I'd be tempted to give Ethan Brookes and Jacob Bethell a chance in place of Davies and Mousley, with Chris Benjamin dropping down to 6.
Davies, Yates, Benjamin and Mousley have all benefitted from selection when their performances have not justified their place in the side.
The selection of Mousley ahead of Matt Lamb was a massive success.
Presumably Sam Hain will be dropped for the next game as he scores too many runs!
