4 for Barnard so far, he’s certainly in a purple patch at the moment.

Ed Barnard carries his bat for 173 not out, a captains knock and the first win on the board.
We won the toss and bowl first.
Taz Ali misses out. Theo Wylie makes his debut.

Jayden Seales was with Sussex for the first half of the season and I believe he is keen to return there next year. He was due to join them in 2023 but was injured.
A captains innings from Barnard 143(113) including 7 x 6’s.

I like the look of that. In the best way, I hope we see less of Lintott in that he gets one of the remaining 100 slots. Also, would like to see Wylie and Taz do the spin bowling. Edward Batchelor I've never heard of. Can anyone fill me in?
Edward Batchelor, 18 year old right arm medium bowler. Played a couple of 2nd XI games this season.

We won more games than any other team in the comp and also have the top run scorer and top wicket taker.
100 (54) for Mo but no one else seems to be able to time it like he has tonight.
Bears won the toss and elected to bat.
Barnard comes in for injured Hain.
This one is being shown on Sky.

Great effort to get close from 11/3. Hain, Bethell and Garton can hold their heads high.
We gave them 20 runs too many with poor bowling and fielding.
Miles is just not good enough and the Kiwi is bang average. Hopefully those two can be replaced by Gleeson and Hassan for the quarter final.
Northants are a useful side but we will face better teams in the knockout phase.
100% agree with this. Add Gleeson and Hassan and the bowling is then at the same strength as the batting, a more balanced side. Anyone can have a bad game but with a balanced side it doesn’t impact the game as much.
Got closer than I thought we would but the early wickets did for us.
Bears win the toss and bowl. Same team.
