No, he's a bit of a thrasher, I understand. Offers an offspin option also.

just realised that we batted first at Grace Road and I'll bet you we bat first in the next one too

Yep. Are you going down over the weekend for Worcs? Saturday start for this one.

In Wales until Monday

I didn't time that one very well, did I?

It seems a bit strange to me that the rare weekend start coincides with the World Cup final! Not to mention the WC final on the same day as mens final at Wimbledon.
Hope you're enjoying Wales!

Yes. Sunday.

In a positive atmosphere,no doubt, for the 1st time in several years.

It's been rescheduled for Monday because of the World Cup final!

Correction -Pringle is retained.
Do we promote Rimmington to 3?- nothing to lose!

I agree! It would not be a bad idea at all.

Pringle in for Trevaskis.

odd choice unless Trevaskis is nursing something. He's been scoring runs lately and there is no chance that Pringle has got the nod for his superior bowling skills

No Parnell again

unsurprisingly we've been asked to bat

one of the easier decisions that a visiting captain will ever have to make.... much easier than trying to predict a head or a tail

Yep. Pringle has made runs for the seconds but I don't think that proves anything and Trevaskis made 50 in the last match.
