He was injured for most of May, his come back was in the 7 wicket defeat to Notts 2nds on 30 May in the Second XI T20 North Group where he scored 14 off 10.

Ah, I thought he'd been fully fit. Glad he's back anyway!

[LBTufty]

Jack Leach is out of the Ashes series with a lower back stress fracture. Cricinfo highlight "Candidates to come into the squad could include Rehan Ahmed, Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone, all of whom made Test debuts in Pakistan over the winter, as well as the previously capped Dom Bess and Liam Dawson."

Miles better. Kimber on a mission to prove we were daft for not starting the tournament with him.

Injured I believe at the start…

Ole, off the mark. Good all round bowling and batting effort. I'm inclined to hope Mulder stays injured and we keep Naseem Shah

Not sure about this. We don't bat long enough down the order so we could do with him.

Would love it.

Good win for county yesterday hopefully follow it up next week, get a run going.

Kimber and Hill have definitely improved the batting, Josh Hull looked promising last game, another year of what could of been!

I know Kimber and Hill both had knocks at the start but they were playing for the 2s so surely could have been drafted in sooner. As for the selection of Davis, I have never seen him pull up any trees like Hull did yesterday, how on Earth was he being selected. 
 

Should Ahmed be called up by England, then it would be nice to Steel called in as our 2nd/3rd spin/bat but not sure he will ever play for us again, seems to have made Claude cry.

Lilley back in the squad....

[Cakey]

I don't get that. Why has he returned? Bullied a 100 against a club side at the weekend?

Didn't play for them this weekend according to Play-Cricket.

[LBTufty]

Wiaan Mulder is back in tonight's squad, hopefully as a straight swap into the XI for Naseem. Lilley can F Off and help out with the car parking.

what % chance of qualifying?

No more than 5%. Based on the number of points needed for qualifying in previous seasons we will need to win 6 or 7 of our last 8 games. 

[Walshy5]

Wheres Ackermann?

[LBTufty]

Out with a groin injury

[Walshy5]

Not heard anything. Hopefully not out for too long.

[Sunbury Fox]

Need the top 5 to get our runs today looking at our tail. 

[CosbehFox]

Good to see Finan start. Potential to be crash and burn but is something unique 

[BigWesMorgan]

Dreadful shots from Malan and Lyth. We always struggle against the middle order though 

[Sunbury Fox]

Masood must average about 300 against us. Need to get him out ASAP.

[Voll Blau]

All over that ball from Rehan. Needed that.

[Corky]

Get Masood here and we are in a great position.
