So, let’s either play Bevan at the top of the order or leave him out for a specialist bowler - I know James Harris can go for a lot of runs in limited overs cricket, but I’d prefer to see him in for one of the batters.
Gorvin, Podmore and Ben Kellaway are the back-up options for the next two games.
The 2nd XI had a T20 game yesterday. Harris, Sisodiya (didn't Phil Collins write a song about him once?), Root, Horton and Ul Hassan played but it looked like Will Smale and Henry Hurle took the honours.
Terrible start for Glammy with Middlesex making their best ever T20 opening stand at Lords of 108. But they turned it around after the first wkt skittling them all out for 173.
With 10 overs gone I'd have bitten someone's hand off to chase 220. Thought we were looking at 240/250. Dare I say it, looks like it should be a cruise from here ! Hopefully Carlson keeps going, and Sam just accumalates. Suns out at lords aswell, lovely night !
I hope you're right but T20 is so unpredictable. We've had two games so far, McIlroy went at 12 an over in the first, 4 an over in the second. The spare bowlers went for 51 in the first but Labuschagne and Ingram bowled 4 overs for 24 in the second. Labuschagne was our top scorer in the first but got bowled first ball in the second. We dropped crucial catches in the first but held everything in the second. Hard to know where we are for now.
The batting should see us trouble the best teams at some point, the bowling might mean we're going to take a couple of shellackings too. We need to take care of business against the weaker sides and hope we can get the wind in our sails against the big boys. We play Essex, Hampshire and Somerset after our trip to Lords tomorrow, the table should be starting to take shape by next Friday.
Good points, hopefully Crane keeps taking wickets and the seamers can concentrate on keeping it tight. That small pitch at Chelmsford may well see some runs on Friday!
