Michael Finan joins and goes straight into today’s squad. Left arm quick, 2 year deal rushed through as a replacement for Hendricks I guess. Big gamble. Fingers crossed  it’s a good one

Can't imagine he's any better then the 150 bowlers we already have.2 year contact they never learn why not until the end of the season to see if he's any good?

Do you know much about him?

[Silebyfox_89]

Good to have a quick left armer, unproven at County level though. Hope he does well 

 

 

[Stadt]

2 year deal is definitely a gamble, if he’s not up to it we have another seamer getting paid to kick his heels, at least his wages won’t be too expensive.

[AjcW]

Seems he was on trial with Derbyshire most recently. 
 

Has he played any second XI games for us? Seems odd getting a two year deal with no sign of any game time for the 2nd’s

 

Must be encouraging for some in minor counties though if a 27 year old is getting a 2 year deal with a county. 

[Silebyfox_89]

Finan straight into the side for the Notts game, I guess its to balance the side  big gamble.

[CrawlingFox]

If we're looking at minor county players them George Hargrave looked very good when he came up against Derbyshire. Opened the batting and scored a run a ball 60 odd with nobody else getting above 5 in a score of 80 or something like that.

Budinger was looking dangerous, the drop only costing 12 runs

Going at 10 an over, Wright ageing like a fine wine though

Miraculously we’ve found another pace bowler who’s a complete shower of s****

And put him straight in the team

 

****ing hell

Where's Scriven today?

[HaroldBazBo]

I rate Davies yet he hardly gets a look

Nixon doesn't think he's quick enough and he's not a good bat.

 

Barnes and Finans have not bowled well so he needs a good spell here.

[The People's Hero]

I think we should try to get Dillon Pennington for next year and commit to bowl him in all formats.

[HaroldBazBo]

It's not exactly brilliant for morale when someone gets straight in to the team from nowhere whilst there are plenty of options hanging around for a last chance.

 

Especially when he doesn't come off.

Getting in over Walker and Scriven is mind boggling

Scriven is injured isn’t he? Is he back for Tues? Think he’s been missed more than Hendricks.

 

Six-for Chris Wright. What a bowler.

Another great defensive performance by the bowlers, Patel and Welch to last less than 3 overs

[CrawlingFox]

Wright has been terrific again.

 

I see Tom Fell is being released at the end of the season. Not a bad batter.

[Tommy Fresh]

Ffs, gave ourselves a great chance only to make it so much harder

What a shit day this has been all round.

 

If Mulder pulls this off we should give him a statue tomorrow.

[CrawlingFox]

We've been utterly reliant on Mulder and Kimber with the bat really.

[Father Ted]

I know that Durham are absolute pony in white ball but Nico has to grow a big pair and freshen it up on Tuesday. Steel must come in for Patel. We can’t keep carrying him, Steel can hang around and put runs on the board. Don’t understand how Walker wasn’t selected either today, he can score runs and our tail started really high up the order today and it cost us. As for the new signing, I despair already. 
 

Has Griffiths left the club now? Let’s hope Hendricks and Scriven are back on Tuesday. Huge game!
