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
Why no Bethall ? Surely he needs some cricket
Also..they will just drop the 4 day games in June and July so OHD and the like will be spending pretty much the entire summer playing 2nd cricket or the odd one day game
I wouldn't be offering players 12 month contract when they are only playing in April, May and September

I find it hard to understand the players wanting time to prepare and recover and at the same time do not complain about the season having 4 different formats = c/c. blast, odc and hundread and then are happy to chase the dollar in the IPL etc. If needing a more spread out workload why have they jumped to play the Hundread?
A spread out playing the c/c and blast through the season would achieve that - 5 days a week cricket maximum and I am sure there would still be time to play the ODC games. Of course it would need the players to say they do not want to add the Hundread to an already full schedule!!
They want to play as little cricket for the most amount of money. Likes of OHD are doing future red ball specialist out of job because all they will do is reduce red ball cricket further and play the hundred in July August...maybe even June

Too many games in too short a space of time I'd say. Hundred will be played during the school holidays and get much better marketing too.
I'd say it's a mixture of choosing where to spend money (Hundred winning due to six week holidays)
Then awful marketing and promotion of T20 compared to the Hundred
It will all be used to justify a much longer Hundred and potential scrapping of T20 blast
We have prioritised this competition but been left with players who do not turn up for the whole competition and when they do, they provide average performances
Time and time again..the only one who doesn't bottle it is Hain
That was awful
Amount of full tosses..including from our specialist t20 bowlers
Fingers crossed our batsman can save us somehow
Good luck to him if so.
Can be a very decent bowler on his day but not good enough for Div 1.
Comes across as a good bloke so hope it works out for him.

I think Bethell will come in for Miles or Gleeson (if he needs a rest again) - possible team:
Davies
Latham
Mousley
Hain
Bethell
Barnard
Yates
Garton
H Ali
Briggs
Gleeson/Miles
This is the side id go with. 3 front line seamers and 1 spinner and then you have Mousley Bethall and Barnard
