It would interesting to know the reasons behind the poor performance from Yates this season, and if he has some underlying off field issues that have affected his performance.

We have signed a rookie wiket keeper!

Worcestershire are in need of batting help, and Hose hadn't performed in red ball games so was unlikely to get another chance.

Not sure, I'd need to check the criteria for that status.
Usually pre season warm up games don't, which this game is effectively.

As a warm up for the RL cup there is a game against cheshire on Sunday

I understand that the venue is a good club ground with a very good wicket.

The ground is just over a mile walk from Chester railway station if using the train to get to Chester, if the railway workers are actually working on Sunday!

Briggs has had a hand injury that will have affected his bowling.

The continued selection of under performing players, particularly Yates & Davies, not only places pressure on the following batsmen, but has a negative psychological effect on the rest of the squad.

The injury absences of the top 3 seam bowlers also has a negative impact on performances.

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.
