If Kai isnt ready do we need a keeper/batter, is Bracey available?
Maybe Malik up to 2 and Davies to 7 in the meantime
Why is Davies still opening?
I think Thompson is settling into the championship side nicely and beginning to show us what he can do with the red ball
For whatever reason his T20 form has gone and we're currently in the Garton position of 1 expensive over and can't be risked again
Given our chances of a QF place are essentially nil why not rest out of form players and play Hamzah, Che, Kai (with the gloves), Taz etc
We need to avoid taking our T20 form into the championship
Why is Thompson still in the side
Embarrassing
Davies out, Kai in
Thompson out Bamber in
Booth in for either Taz or OHD depending on the wicket
Drop davies now

Are we really having a shocker this season up to today? I don't think we are?
Agree, not perfect, still issues (need a #3, finishing teams off) but definite signs of progress
To be fair Yates has beem digging in more this year

Fantastic start.
When will Ian Westwood make the change that is overdue and drop Davies
If the management group are to retain any sense of fairness Davies gets dropped
On a different note why no match preview on the website until this morning
I enjoyed last year at Rugby and today's game but not the approach taken to spectators.
I'm entitled to my opinion as is everyone else and I'm not blind to the issues Edgbaston stadium poses and would like to see more games at out grounds facilities permitting. However having my reasoned comments labelled as "ludicrous, pointless and destructive" means I'll leave the forum to others
Enjoyed the game but don't enjoy being made to feel inferior/second class to hospitality. The only other ground that had had this affect is the self styled home of cricket (Lords rather than the actual 2025 home of cricket, Mumbai)
A perfect illustration of what's wrong with the game IMO
To be clear the stewards and other public facing staff were fine. I assume it's Rugby school who decided where we were welcome (or not)

Given we’re limited to half the ground it’s strange I’ve sat all day next to the Pavilion in the shade under a gazebo.
We were moved from the right hand side if the sightscreen, 1st thing this morning. Told apologeticly only media and VIPs to the right Spectators to the left the screen.
No one in the space we started in all day
Poor experience at the ground. Only 1 entrance, spectators limited to half the boundary (rest is reserved for VIPs/hospitality and radio), no announcements, no on tap beer, members discount...not taking a day off work on Wednesday to be made to feel unwelcome
Home by mid afternoon.....
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.....
