Walter gets 200+ just 2 weeks ago, goes to Bristol this week, opens and then clobbers 172 and still not considered.

Do not understand?????

Taxi for Walter...……………….

His second innings was single figures though ...

Perhaps if we played all 13 we might do better? Would anyone notice ...

I note that rain is forecast - 50% probability for 7pm.

They don't learn, do they!  Team tonight is exactly the same balance as before with Quinn in for Porter.  Harmer at 7 and Wagner at 8.  To think this is the right balance for a twenty20 side that doesn't exactly have a great top 6 currently is absolutely inexplicable. 
The forecast suggest we're probably going to be screwed by Duckworth Lewis even if we manage to somehow perform well anyway.

Does HArmer have some compmat on McGarthe?

Finr 4 day bowler that he is, he record in the white ball stuff is, let's face it, pants.

Apologies for the cr*p typing.

Yep so far it's the same old. Told you Wagner should bat higher up.

So we get  draw! No doubt they'll pick the same side for tomorrow. Should bat Wagner at no. 3 or 4.

Seems the best thing for us to is bat for a draw in this T20 malarkey.
