Yates
Davies
Mousley

Smith
Gilchrist
Booth
Bamber
Taz Ali

My side ?

I think Young is available so I'd say he will come in at 3 for Mousley. Also reckon OHD will play instead of Gilchrist

A decent performance but didn't deserve to get to finals day again.

In previous years we have been very convincing in the group stage whereas this season we were very inconsistent and personally I think its time we moved away from t20 contracts for likes of Ali, Garton etc.

All this messing about to potentially reduce the season by 6 days in a 6 month period....

Can't wait for the same issues to crop up in the seasons to follow with injuries as they still play 7 games during April and May and 3 games in September

Needs to be playing for Warwickshire

England management looking to ruin him

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

1st over...

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

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.
