Thank goodness for that. The only good news about the game!

I see that as usual we get destroyed by the bowler that no-one has ever heard of

A non entity from Hants 2nds. Credit to Notts for his discovery 18 wkts at cheap ER this season.

Fletch recovered from taking a ball in the face and became the best bowler he's ever been, so my expectations for Carse have gone up significantly

Of course Fletch was never on the England radar, so never had his development repeatedly held back. That might not be the case for Carse

Predictions for tomorrow's RL50 squad?

[Durhamfootman]

Lees
Clark
Bancroft
Bedingham
Dickson
Eckersley
Borthwick
Trevaskis
Salisbury
1 of the youngsters
Rushworth

Might have to be 2 of the younger bowlers, if we don't want to have to rely on Borthwick to bowl 10 overs, in which case we have to lose one of the top 5, or we have to lose Mr Ned and give the gloves to Bangers or Bedders
doubtless Poynter will feature in the squad, but nobody needs 4 keepers in a 50 over game..... it's bowlers we haven't got. Stokes, Wood, Potts, Carse and Raine all away with the silly

Borthwick captain. It should be interesting to see how this goes, very unpredictable with depleted squads around the country.
Salisbury the latest to be unavailable because of covid isolation!

van Meekeren still around

just as well or we'd have Rushy, Trevaskis and 3 kids to bowl

I think Borthwick is going to have to play as a bowler.

[Durhamfootman]

no little Irishmen, I note

[Durhamfootman]

at least Coughlin is injured so we can't be forced into having to let him give away 100 runs every game

[Durhamfootman]

It'll give us a chance to see how the youngsters get on

or it would be if we played any matches at home

what a start
200-0 after 30

if we double this it will be one hell of a score

Clark has his ton and Lees is on 80. both are going at a run a ball

[captaincolly]

Might get 400! Can't get the stream to work - it keeps asking me to "subscribe to watch"
