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.

Lot of new names in the team today, if anyone has any background info on the new players please share it.
The competition has been runnung for a few days, but the highlight so far, and a significant result for the growth of the game was the victory for the USA over Pakistan tonight.
Let us hope we don't find out that the result was influenced by the criminal bookmakers who have influenced Pakistans results and performances before.

Sam Hain is playing, and having a good stand with Chris Benjamin, after the first two wickets fell quickly.
Continuing the discussion from the Middlesex game thread.
Which grounds in the county to people suggest would be viable for a first team ground away from edgbaston? Remember that the ground needs to have a high quality wicket and outfield, hav space for spectators, catering and parking, plus meet the ECB regulations for facilities.
for various reasons the outgrounds used most recently fail to meet the criteria in at least one way, eg Stratford the outfield is too badly undulating after several flodings to be acceptable for First team cricket.

A very young 2nd team this week
Thread for our 2nd game.
If, as expected Chris Woakes plays, who do you expect to make way?
I thought Jacob Bethell did enough with bat and ball to deserve to stay in the side.
Denis Amiss takes on, probably, his final role for the club.
I'd say this is a very good appointment, Andy Sutton is a good coach and leader, as well as still capable of performing at a very good level.
Our young players will be in safe hands with his coaching.
moving to a role with England women
We can only hope they select a good bowling coach to replace him!
Probably the last Div 1 game for the club until 2024, if not later.
What changes would people like to see from the team at Bristol?
I'd start by sugegsting that Lamb and Burgess return to the side, with the omission of Yates and Davies.
If Burgess is not available, I'd recall Chris Benjaming to keep wicket.
Not sure that any of Sidebottom, Garrett or Johal are good enough for first team cricket, so perhaps try to get someone in on a short term loan.
Squad announced, still no Lamb, also no Burgess, so Davies keeps his place and keeps.
Jacob Bethel in the squad, hopefully he plays in place of Yates, he couldn't dontribute less.
