Averages after game 2 https://countycrickethub.net/team-averages.html?teamid=16&comp=2&year=2026
Good job George Garton was selected today.
Is it the coaches responsibility if a player keeps playing shots that are inappropriate for the game situation or the ball faced?
Surely the players have to take responsibility for their actions?
Very harsh on Theo Wylie after his successful debut.

I think it would be accurate to say that the decision Jake Lintott wasn't in the clubs long term plans was made several months ago.
Having signed him on a season long loan, it is interesting that Kent have decided he no longer fits in with their plans too.
I'd assume the plan was got Garton to be an impact batsman, we shouldn't discard or judge him after just one game, especially as we have given numerous, some would say too many, to others who fail consistantly.
Have you tried using the direction option in google maps?
It will give you public transport options and timings.
even though the result wasn't the win we wanted, there were some significant positives from the game.
A very good debut from Theo Wylie, and Jake Garlic showed he was worth the chance.
A good innings from Sam Hain, and contributions from almost everyone else.
There is a lot to be positive about.

As if anyone here would be so cruel, but accurate, about a former captain :-)
As I said, not working with some of our players.
No, that is someone claiming to be a specialist batsman with a white ball average of 3.5 this season.
No problem with any of that trio, but Davies, who is unselectable, is included.
What did Albert say about doing the same thing and expecting different results?
A higher level role and closer to home and family, seems a sensible move for him,
Also, looking at some of the batting performances and averages this season, his coaching isn't working with some of our players.

Surely it is worth playing Garton as a specialist batsman, with a white ball average of just 3.5 Davies is unselectable at the moment.
From the BBC article
"He has so far scored 301 runs in eight first-class appearances, but the majority of his career has been spent playing 50-over List A matches - in which he has made almost 600 runs in 28 games."
The figures don't look good, and doon't really suggest he was worth a first team place.
Just announced he is to join Leics on loan for the rest of the season, before signing a 3 year contract with them from next season.

Probably the best option he has to have a chance of regular first team cricket, as based on his record with Warwicks he was unlikely to have secured a first team place.
Not sure playing two inexperienced spinners is the right move.
Sam Hain should be batting at 4, with Kai at 5 and keeping.
If Garton is going to give the club some value for the money spent, he can play as a batsman.
Not sure that any of Jani/Malik or Sheikh are really good enough to be a long term first team player, but Jani should be given the first chance.
I'd also be using Earl Bamber is some of the games, and possibly introduce Charlie Taylor for a game or two, provided we have several experienced bowlers in the team.
As I've said before, Davies is currently unselectable, his performances with the bat this year have been totally unacceptable for a specialist batsman, especially one with his experience.
