Great win from an awful first 3 days

Webster and Rocky for next year please !

This was all down to our middle order however, it's time for change in captaincy

Having to leave the ground now to catch a flight home..fingers crossed they see it through !

Class innings from Malik, hopefully gives him the confidence to carry on for rest of the season

Fingers crossed the guys get stuck in today. Going to give it an hour before deciding whether to head down for a few hours.

Davies should resign after this shambles of a performance. If he doesn't resign then Westwood needs to wield the axe and replace him with Barnard. Should we lose this match and at Essex next week, we'll be looking over our shoulder at relegation.

Agreed. Would like to see Davies take the gloves and bat down at 6. Think it would be best for the team and Davies. Although Smith has certainly shown enough in first innings that he has something

If you take out Yates do we have an opener to replace ?

Not sure a lad who made 93 in the previous game is in drop territory yet...he's definitely in patchy form though and needs to show some consistency...not sure what he could have done about that ball though...

Fair point ! I think I'm just fed up of this opening partnership

Ideally we'd want to bowl them out in next 5 overs and then stay off for the rest of the day with bad light. Weather forecast is showing brighter weather from 5pm.

These are not good batting conditions at all

They want less cricket..they might be having day off tomorrow at this rate !

@AJ You are suggesting a move that would be considered to be intelligent captaincy.

When have we ever seen that under Davies?

True ! It's so predictable..5 overs of OHD and Bamber then 5 overs each for Webster and Barnard...going through the motions here

Mix it up! It's death by medium pace this morning.

Bring on our overseas spinner and see if he can change the game.

Awesome congrats Sam ! Great news

Back to a flat pitch it seems!

Very poor day, unfortunately had too many like this.

4-2..what a morning

The captaincy this morning was worse than abysmal, it wouldn't be acceptable in a club 4th xi side, as this is meant to be one of the leadingg first class sides in the country.

The position of Davies has now become totally untenable, and change is needed now.

I have to agree that was awful stuff from Davies. Felt like we'd given up and just handed them an extra 30 runs.

Really not helpful to shout rubbish when Mousley is struggling to get through an over..

What Corey and OHD must think when he's gone to Mousley who just been smacked for two sixes..

We trying to throw the game away here

Think the game is 50/50 at the moment. Thought we bowled well.

Sad day for the region however R.I.P Ozzy

Nothing from club again ,not even a mention about match tommorrow on website .
No explanation why Bethall isn’t playing ,no Hain or any other news on player availability.
Is Latham unavailable and where is Simmons ?
Strange .
Surely Garton could be made available for selection .

Yep it's shocking. If they really wanted to increase attendances they'd be advertising this game all over the Internet with the kids off school.

Fairly clear they have no interest in promoting the county championship
