SMF - Just Installed!
The Chopra situation is a puzzler. Lots of runs in the 2XI and then disappears. Also I see Porter is playing this evening which must mean he wasn't injured for the Notts game.

Chopra amassed 5 runs.Meanwhile the next cab of the rank Will Buttleman hit 102 not out in 64 balls, and then made 2 stumpings and took a catch.He is a better prospect than Pepper behind the stumps, and worth a go, as the present encumbant has been sloppy.

Maybe over a few games also give guys like Beard, Alison & Nijjar a chance at number 7 or 8, they all look better than tail-enders. Give Brown, TDD & Wheater a rest, at least for some games, and let Walter open.Hopefully an injection of younger blood will improve our fielding. It needs it.

With Neesham the team does have a better balance. I seem to remember Harmer batting at 7 in some games last year.
