Same old mistakes being made. This happened last year too, bad start due to poor team selections and too much poor pace bowling. Tide turned when changes were made and Ackermann started bowling 4 overs too. 
 

It’s as if we haven’t realised our mistakes. Bring Hill in for Budinger who is badly misfiring, Kimber in for Lilley and Scriven in for Davis who can bat 8/9 and can share the remaining 4 overs of the ball with Mulder. 
 

3 out of 4 now too that Welch has been out in the 30s… got a feeling a big score is coming from him. Patel looking good at 3. There are signs there tonight but the damage is done, too much blind faith from the selectors in those that aren’t good enough (Davis and Lilley primarily)

This a million times over.

Who was that bowler for them? He was a chucker. Never seen anything like it. Nobody seemed to question it

Have you never seen Malinga? Carbon copy. Unusual but perfectly legal.

Budinger took 10 balls for his 4 runs, that’s one of the many reasons why the game was lost.

He's not having the best season at all. It took Patel a couple seasons to come good so perhaps Budinger just needs time because at the moment whilst he's no doubt got talent it looks pretty clear why Notts let him go.

 

For now I'd let him build some confidence in the seconds and bring Hill or Kimber in to the side.

[MaidstoneFox]

But got to be pleased with Rehan Ahmed's performance. 2 wickets at 5 1/2 and over, then 20 runs at a strike run of 200. That's a great all-round performance.

And after seeing his first ball hit for six.

Lilley dropped. Let’s hope Davis is water boy too.

I’d go

Hill

Welch

Patel

Ackers

Kimber

Rehan

Swindells

Parky

Naveen

Naseem

Hull

 

Long tail though.

[Lionator]

Hill for Lilley

Kimber for Mulder

Naseem for Davis

Budinger down the order.

 

those are the changes I’d make.

I’d maybe open with Ahmed or Kimber, tell them to go out and give it a good wack. Put Budinger down to 6/7. As above, if we do bring a 3rd seamer in, you can’t expect many runs from Parky, Naveen, Naseem, Hull/Finan/Davis, which would be my only concern. 
 

Big gap left by Mike.

With Kimber behind the stumps in the 2nd XIs T20 win this week, that's about as keeper-heavy as you can get!

Unlike our final pair last night, Hull and Finan both got lower-order runs for the twos yesterday to form a winning eighth wicket partnership against Notts.

4-4-6 off the last 3 balls of that over from Willey.

 

This Lewis Hill lad doesn't look up to it, send him back to the seconds and bring back Lilley.

[Sunbury Fox]

We are so bad.

Naveen showing these useless tossers how to bat at the minute

Good knock by Naveen

[MaidstoneFox]

Pretty straightforward chase so far for Northants, they don't have to take any risks, just a boundary an over and knock it around. Looking 30 short at the moment

We (Northants) have been dreadful this season too.

 

Pretty comfortable so far, but as soon as we're three or four down we completely disintegrate, so you're not completely out of it.

I wouldn’t worry about us taking 3 or 4 wickets here.

Yeah it looks very done at this point 

[Tommy Fresh]

This over from Hull is ending any hope here isn't it
