I don't want to write our T20 obituary too early, because we could still qualify. We've done some good things this year, I like the decision to put Kellaway at 3 playing attacking cricket, it shows good intent. But as the games progress and your championship opener in Tribe is scoring runs for fun, and Kellaway isn't quite firing then surely it becomes obvious that you move tribe in to open and drop Carlson to 3.

Douthwaite has looked great with the bat this year, but can't get higher than 8. Ingram scoring for fun at 4, so gets dropped to 5 to fit Horton in. It's just become muddled, dare I say it's almost become a parody of what was trying to be achieved at first.

I was critical of Carlson's decision to bowl Kellaway for that over against Somerset. It seemed equally stupid not to give him at least an over against Surrey when out seamers were getting battered. Carlson's individual fielding has also plumbed the depths in recent games.

We've done a lot right, as evidenced by the fact we were in top 2 contention until 3/4 of the way through game 12 of 14. Just a shame a bit of sloppiness seems to be leading to the wheels falling off at the end.
