I'm torn on Northeast coming back. The 'career' Northeast should be first name on our team sheet, the Northeast that has played T20 for Glamorgan can stay well away though! I think my change for next game would be Sam for Smale, get Tribe up top with Sam down at 5 or 6.

I don't trust Sam at the top of the order, but down at 6, where the game situation makes clear what he needs to do he would be a fantastic asset.

Some good posts here. It's funny FJB should bring Northeast up, I was wondering about whether he should have played too. As soon as Smale was out I thought 'what would Chrisp have said if Northeast had taken 10 overs to get 26'. I dread to think.

It was a painful watch and we got out thought, as others have said. Those lower run chases can be tricky though. It's a bit like being up against 10 men at football, you feel it should be straightforward but you can easily get in a muddle as to how to go about it. I take Pearcey's point about Kellaway but the no risk strategy wasn't exactly a great success either and left us too much to do in the final overs.

Let's hope the rain holds off on Friday. I'll be looking out for you if Northeast plays, I assume you'll be giving him a standing ovation when he comes out to bat.
