Latham giving everyone a lesson, when you get in on these sort of pitches you go big, you be greedy.

This is it..t20 mindset comes in and players get complacent. It's great to have a pro like Latham to guide the younger players

Great away performance

Seem to have more resilience in the side this year.

That was a class innings from Webster

Need to get Root soon or were in trouble

We are as brittle as biscuits with this line up.

I would be pretty surprised if we get near Yorks total

Yeah was a given at the start of the season that our batting line up would struggle. Latham will certainly help and Webster could add some quality to

Ouch this isn't looking good.

Middle order need to rescue us here

I assume the players will be taking pay cuts if this all happens?

And membership prices reduced ?

They will argue better quality but it's nonsense..they will still squeeze in the county championship in April, May and September

We desperately need some high quality experienced batsman to support the younger guys

I hope Latham and Webster coming in will provide some stability and that will hopefully take pressure off Hain who we really need (again) this season

Honestly it feels as though every year we go into the season relying our youngsters will prove their good enough straight away

Hopefully Mousley can stay in for the rest of the evening, will hopefully do his confidence some good.

Interesting to see what happens when Latham and Webster come in.

Need to get stuck in for the rest of the day

Poor excuse to blame this solely on the weather

Yes they've had the better of conditions but still..

We will see if the pitch/conditions are that bad.

We will end up with 12 red ball games

4 in April, May and September

With June July and August for the blast and an extended hundred competition

Nothing to do with quality, just commercial.

Well that should shut us all up - our bang average side are top of the table. Yes, the batting needs more consistency. Yes, the bowling isn't incisive. But we won one. Well done.

Issues are still there and will show throughout the season however, it's great to see the fight in the players

We didn't take 20 wickets but we still won. Well done YouTube cricket for allowing us this privilege.

YouTube cricket has been a game changer

Well done to the lower middle order and tailenders !

Barnard showing great consistency. Would move him up to 5 and take the pressure off Mousley a touch for next game

Smith looks some player

Going gets tough.. we collapse.

This is a very average side with glaring gaps in quality.

Big innings from Hain required

What was Yates doing leaving that !?
