The 11th game of the championahip season, and the last with the Kokaburra ball, so also the last game for Rocci'
Hopefully Sam Hain will have returned from dealing with nappies and should be returned to the side, there is also the, small, chance that Jacob Bethell will be allowed to play. Meaning at least one change to the side.
After their performances against worcestershire both Zen Malik and Kai Smith deserve to remain in the side, with Kai retaining the keeper role. Both of these payyers are only going tto gain confidence, improve and become full time team members by being given the opportunity to play.
Looking at the situation logically, and based on recent performances, the player/s to be omitted seems obvious, but sadly unlikely to happen.

A very strange announcement overnight that todays WCL India v Pakistan game is off, and for spectators not to go to the stadium as it will be closed.
No explanation for the cancellation was provided.
I wonder why the game was called off, Have WCL failed to pay the stadium hire fee etc? Was there an expectation of serious crowd disorder and violence?
Will the rest of this private tournament take place?

Same squad as Friday
Any thoughts on possible team changes for the trip to Hove?
Is there a case for recalling Mousley, Sheikh or Malik, and who would you omit?

As this encompasses all forms of the game, it is probably better to start a new thread for the topic.
I'll start with a question, with the increased concentration on Womens cricket, how has that affected the time spent and the budget allocated to the mens program?
Another relevant question is, what percentage of the playing budget was spent on T20 only players, and who decided that was the best use of those limited resources?
Finally, for now, who made the final decision of the overseas players signed, & what other options were considered? Did the club look at the whole market or just accept suggestions exclusively from a favoured agent?
There will be at least one change to the team with Chris Rushworth, probably, having played his final game against Essex. I'd also expect Dan Mousley to return. I'd also like to see Kai Smith and Chris Benjamin been given a chance, with Rhodes and Mousley opening the batting and Ed Barnard leading the side.
A batting order of
Rhodes/Mousley/Hain/Barnard/Smith/Benjamin & Burgess is probably the strongest top 7 we can field right now. Obvious if Chris Woakes was available, hed drop in the order at 6 or 7.
For Bowlers, OHD/ Briggs plus 2 others
Change is needed, the above change to the team would be a small step in the right direction.

The first test of this series is now live on youtube.
Thread for todays game.
Do you expect any changes from Friday? Including Ed Barnard would strenghten the team a lot.
Following the Hampshire game, the team travel to Taunton to take on a somerset side likely to feature two former Bears.
