I wonder if they will pay though? Maybe they watch because its free.

Do we know how much Surrey are charging? At least they get to watch some t20 with it.

I agree I don't think they will pay

[Ashley]

All out for 88 after the performance against Notts 😂😂😂

[Corky]

Nothing worse than the first innings of a one dayer ending quickly. Remember watching Yorkshire bowl us out for 53 one Sunday.

Think it was after the two-day Test finished on a Friday, so Gough and Vaughan were available? Got my Kookaburra Bubble signed by both that day.

[Corky]

Yeah. Had that odd 1.45pm start and I think it was over by ten to four

Kimber will be available for our next game if he misses out on selection for Birmingham Phoenix tonight.

That would be handy given the collapse last time round.

Kimber not playing so he should be available for our game v Essex at Chelmsford on Wednesday.

But who would he replace? All the batters did well in the first game and all failed in the second.

Doesn't look like josh hull played for Manchester tonight does that mean we get him back for a game?

For whatever reason, they've decided not to bring in Kimber even though permitted to do so i.e. not selected in two consecutive Hundred games

Presumably just taking Friday as a blip then. He'd be useful to have in for bowling ability as much as anything, when Trevaskis is still recovering from injury.

Not sure how he would have been available considering Birmingham phoenix have a game tonight

As posted previously re: https://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/news/louis-kimber-called-up-to-the-hundred - "....... He joins Patel, Scott Currie, Josh Hull, and Rehan Ahmed in taking part in this year’s edition of The Hundred. All five will be eligible to return to Leicestershire for Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures if they are not selected for consecutive matches in The Hundred."

 

Whether the Phoenix coaching set-up have said "Look mate, hang around because you're definitely starting our game on Wednesday" and he's made that call, I don't know.

They only have a 15 man squad not sure you can let one of your players go off and play for the County on the same day you have a game look pretty stupid  if one of the batsman picks up an injury during the warm up .Imagine the rule applies when they don't have a game for a few days

[Graceroad]

For the 3rd game in a row no OS players to contend with  really should win today looking at the Essex side

Hill threw his wicket away 

[Lionator]

We need to keep a cool head and we should do this. Need Budinger to kick on for a ton. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Rahane gone. Touch and go, this. 

[Lionator]

Batted Sol 👏🏼 his 50 over form just makes it more frustrating how often he gives his wicket away in t20

[Stadt]

Handscomb has been a shadow of himself

The reality is we wouldn't have troubled the North Group top 6 let alone the top 4 without the addition of Goldsworthy and Currie; it's a big concern that they won't be here (or adequately replaced) next campaign.

 

As others have said or alluded to, T20 players well past their sell-by date (thanks Pete, thanks Jimmy) can do one. Budinger seems to have gone backwards since joining us from Notts' 2nd XI, if his contract was up at the end of the season I wouldn't renew.

He must be on here occasionally, that's 75 against the N*tts scum followed by a run-a-ball ton against Essex a week later since the above.

Ah Budinger gone, this will be close
