Davies at 6 makes sense
In July?
I agree, Westwood felt like a last minute stopgap and Davies captaincy is increasingly poor

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.
Take a listen to Dermott Reeves views on the captaincy in this and the Somerset game on thus mornings radio commentary
Good to see Garton picking up POTM. Two good back to back performances. He seems to be a confidence player so hopefully this run can continue. Mentioned a potential interest in red ball in the Sussex game radio interview, definitely something to consider.....
The reality is that unfortunately it is a game mainly taught in private schools. The Durham approach sounds like a potential template many counties, including us, should look at mirroring

Genuinely the bowling line up here is probably better than what we sent out the weekend just gone.
Agreed
Are we hiding Garton?
What are our new management team and captain doing.....

Nope. Che and Taz in tomorrow. Yates to 2, Lytham to 3, Kai to keep
Might save us the annual QF horror show though given we've started with one this year
Poor captaincy in terms of bowler rotation. Took the spinners off when we'd started to reduce the run rate. Hasnt bowled Yates and Sylvester should focus on bowling rather than sledging

This is the thing with him, he doesn't shape it all so on flat pitches like this he's absolute cannon fodder. Clearly struggles under pressure too.
When he has a couple of poor balls go for 4 his head drops and he can no longer be given the ball. Where's Che and why didn't we get the spinners on earlier?
But shouldn't be.....does he ever bowl all 4?
Garton's back.....
My patience has run out with our captain now, every innings the same
Still not sure why a keeper who wasn't 1st choice at Lancashire is now keeper, opener and captain. Does Davies bowl?
Allegedly there was a feeling that Kai didn't keep well at Yorkshire but they didn't want to drop him completely, not sure I agree with that assessment
Why's Davies keeping?
Excellent win which will hopefully boost confidence but we do need address the recurring issues. Making inroads into the opposition innings before letting them off the hook and our all too frequent batting collapses
