Playing for the Deccan Gladiators in the T10 league from Nov 15th. There I've sorted it out for you.

Having a good lions trip.  50 and a wicket in the first match followed by 35 and a four-fer

Also Man of the Match in the second game. Interesting to see he has bowled a full allocation in both games so far.

Century for England Lions vs Cricket Australia XI

[LeedsExile]

Dan's form is gaining a lot of attention. One pundit had him in his test squad for Sri Lanka. That did not happen but he must be getting close to a call up if his form continues. It is beginning to look like Essex have a middle order crisis looming. Bopara gone, Lawrence with Lions/England and RTD probably in his last season. No longer captain and rarely bowling RTD needs a stack of runs to maintain his place. Who is in the wings to fill the gaps?

Pepper, Patel, Khushi, Buttleman, Walter.

Of those listed Nat, who do have confidence in?

[essexfan548]

Patel looked out of his depth against Notts last summer ...

None of them are ready for a run in the first team from what I've seen.

None of them. However they are full time professionals who have played in the 2XI for some time. If they are not good enough they should be replaced. 2020 will be big year for all of them.

Can't see where there's a vacancy in England's middle order. Not only will he have to play well and keep it up. It has to coincide with players in England's team losing form. If Root plays for Yorkshire in April ? It's a massive game for any of our players that want to play for England.

Patel looked okay to me against Surrey

We really do have to give them a run in the team if we believe in them. We have certainly done that with the bowlers

Bowlers can get away with the  odd mistake. For batters - one mistake and out

Chopra as well.  I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was given a go in the middle order.  I’m not a fan but perhaps he may do better away from the new ball?

[IlfordEagle]

When I've seen Patel he seems to have the strokes, we can't expect him to be an overnight success, Khushi too apparently has ability (only really seen him in T20 & occasional Tourist game), if they get the chance they need to grab it & also Coaching team need to show belief & some patience.
