he used to open for Kent...so he's more than a finisher..

however this total is nowhere near enough..

they must see him as a finisher so dont want him in the top 4, but with his form this season he shouldnt be coming in lower than 6 surely


they have to give the guy a chance to build a couple of partnerships which he didn't get today batting at #8 , and I don't think it really make sense

Well batted Griff, should never be below Claydon in the order.

A run rate of 4.3 an over should be easy on this pitch but a couple of early wickets and Knees could wobble, mine are wobbling already.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

yeah i know but the success he has had has been down the order whacking it out of the park

obviously im not disagreeing with you completely though, 8 is 2 or 3 spots too low for him

Knee are definitely on the wobble, Evans looks a likely wicket any minute.

:no Didn't expect to win but hoped for a close game. Batsmen let us down but still we did really well just to make it to the semi's with our small young squad.

They will have a tough job fitting Bell into the team if he's available. He doesn't bowl so a batsmen would go but all have made big contributions to get them to the final. However if don't play him and lose because they fail with the bat? Don't envy Dougie Brown's position.

Been to every ground bar Kents in our group and none from the other group... Bit annoying as I want to try and get round a few more grounds...

Very similar groups to this year. Durham, Somerset and Surrey swap places with Hampshire, Essex and Lancs.

Second year running that Northants, Leicester, Gloucs, Worcs and Derby all get lucky and draw each other.
