Realistically have to win both to qualify?

[Walshy5]

Neesham, Budiniger and Mike. The 3 we were calling to be dropped are the ones that have done the bussiness 😆. It's a funny old game.

I couldn’t follow the match at all last night. Reading the thread this morning was like a flash back to LCFC match threads last season.

We hit more 6's than 4's! That can't happen very often! Do think we need to be better at manipulating the ball for 2s and look to pick gaps through the field by playing the ball along the ground more often. Seems like most of the batsmen are programmed to swing as hard as possible to hit 6's. Great if it comes off but too often we are skying it and getting caught on the boundary. Also, when you have hit one 6 at the start of the over and you are chasing 10 per over to win there really is no need to try to hit 2 or 3 more 6's in the over. Just play the percentages!

Absolutely how I see it, too

Rehan averages 12 with the bat in T20. He’s not a number 3. If we want impetus after an early wicket surely in form Kimber comes in.

They want the right left bat combo during the power play though, which is why it’s done.

Praying Handscomb doesn’t come in at 3 or 4 in the powerplay, going at a run a ball….

Think Kimber should be 3 the way he’s seeing the ball at the minute.

Serving up some absolute tripe against some very out of form batters, shock horror.

Are we starting to feel Stuart Broad vibes with Josh Hull? He’s progressing so rapidly.

Still got a lot to develop especially in red ball cricket, and I think his length can sometimes be off. But his action, height and pace are properly properly exciting.

Notts have taken 26 off the last 6 overs. Were looking good for 180-190 but 150 would be more likely now.

He then effectively concedes 14 off one legit ball. I should shut up

[CrawlingFox]

This is going well.

[Lionator]

Pathetic and embarrassing

The Budinger and Handscomb wickets were a joke.

Bloody good job we bat deep and Neesham is a very good big name signing doing the job. The county do keep us on the edge of our seats but at least qualification for the QF is in our own hands

[Lionator]

Going to need to beat Birmingham I think, which is going to be a task but we’re finally looking good!
