Bethall could do with going out on loan for the July championship games, particularly if we have Hain back

Problem with this approach is that two quick wickets and were in trouble, even though we would only be 4 down after 60+ overs.

Interesting comments from Stokes yesterday regarding intent of County players.

Sibley really can't plod around of strike rate at 30-40 if he wants to get in that side. I tend to agree, not saying every player needs to score at a run a ball but we need our openers to set the tone

Could Davies stand up to the stumps for Miles and Braithwaite ?

See a lot of medium pacers do well with wicketkeeper up

Fortunate to have star players in Hose, Hain and Benjamin

Really need someone to back up Stones

Miles..Braithwaite and Brookes haven't cut it this year

Why not give OHD a game? Norwell not good enough or a fitness issue ?

Braithwaite 3 wides in a row..

Davies and Stirling get another chance, need to show they deserve it tonight

Unfortunately our two weakest players should be our strongest..our overseas players.

Selection is really costing us at moment. Its about time we dropped Stirling and Daviss. Would like to see Lamb and Burgess given a go for Wednesday and Friday

My wife wasn't interested until I told her the Batsman doing so well was an Irish man..

Fellow Irish and suddenly interested in what an over is...what a good strike rate is 🤣

First game of the season for me, over from Dublin for the week

Nothing has changed (well maybe worse)

The beer and food are incredibly overpriced and the staff haven't got a clue!

From the warm up game today it looks like Bethall will open

Seems fair enough from this showing!

So how would you line up ?

Think I'd go

Stirling
Davies
Hain
Hose
Braithwaite
Benjamin
Bethall
Brookes
Brings
Linott
Miles

When stone is fine I'd bring him in for Miles

I thought McAndrew was seen as a Bresnan replacement ? Certainly has no where near the same ability with the bat

Batsman who have failed...have failed again

Games come along too quickly to wait/hope fortunes will change.

Poor start, need a big Hain innings now !

Type of innings Hain really needed it

He has the talent to do this consistently

there's grim reading, then there's this scorecard.....

Considering how many chances people were willing to give Vihari last season, when he was out of his depth and a meant we were, effectivly playing with 10 men, it is extremely harsh to want to discard McAndrew after one game, where he made a contribution with the bat.

If the wicket looks likely to assist spin, it might be worth replacing Yates with Bethell, and, if fit, Norwell should be included, probably for Miles.

Something tells me you really don't like Vihari 🤣 he's a test match batsman playing for India, in no way was he out of his depth..many good batsman have struggled initially, I don't think he was close to a world beater but you were far more harsh to him than anyone has been to Macandrew so far...very odd

Disappointing game so far

Great that we have batsman waiting in line to push our current first team

Currently watching the game from Maldives..dedication there!

Think I'll just check for score later, the half hour I've watched hasn't been great to say the least!

Way too early to judge McAndrew, when did he arrive ? He doesn't look the type of bowler we'd need to rush into the squad
