the Weighell has 185 runs in 5 knocks

get everyone fit and firing for next year and we could have plenty of runs in us right down to 9

Think it's 2 years for Rimmo. McCarthy and Potts are also handy with the bat.

So far this season, we have fielded 13 players who have featured in 3 or less of the 9 matches and only Rushy, Smith, Steel and Clark have featured in 7 of the 9, so we go into each match with a few players who have been parachuted into the side, presumably to fill holes, and if we don't address this, then we will sit in the middle or at the bottom of div 2 for years to come

at last, though, it does look as though we are starting to try and tackle it. As well as the openers, Salisbury looks a good signing

just need to try and get that Dixon fella signed up for next year

I was going to say that I hate the lottery of not playing everyone twice, but at least we won't have to be blown away by the returning Matt Henry for Kent
