Title: Kent (H)
Post by: dazedpenguin on June 22, 2023, 09:07:40 AM
Cook rested to manage his workload. So presumably Beard or Allison to come in. The other possibility is playing Nijjar, but that's unlikely.

Harmer, Allison, Beard, Buttleman, Critchley, Das, Khushi, Lawrence, Nijjar, Pepper, Sams, Snater, Walter, Westley

Yeah cos bowing 4 overs and fielding for 20 overs per day might be a little hurty for them.

Gerron wiv it.

Bad time to rest Little Chef - it means probably playing Alison or Snater, who've both been tonked in this year's blast and Beard, who hasn't been considered worthy of selection for a while. Don't think we'll play Nijjar.

We might think that we can beat k*nt without our best bowler...who loves taking K*nt wickets.

I bet the K*nt batsmen can't believe their luck.

The other team won the toss and put Essex in.

Nijjar in for Cook. Bit of a surprise.

Khushi, Lawrence, Pepper, Das, Walter, Critchley, Sams, Buttleman, Harmer, Snater, Nijjar

Batting first again and with that bowling attack, we'll need at least 250 for me to feel confident at the interval!

I'd still be nervous.  ;D

Listening to Paul Newton struggling to contain his anger at the way we just throw the bat at everything in T20 is so funny!

Another three wickets lost in the powerplay. Whether we win tonight or not, that is unsustainable against any good team in this comp.

Is Snater going for the run out record in a season? #village

Becoming a waste of a shirt in current form. If he's not getting out himself, he's running others out. Let's see if he redeems himself or costs us again with the ball.

Good effort to get to 184 after the early and mid innings slump. Excellent innings from Buttleman to regain the momentum. A pity that Lawrence or Critchley didn’t take it closer to the end, but 184 is something to defend. Fingers crossed.

Well surely you should know the answer to that.

And Hampshire away tomorrow.

I don’t think Nijjar will play!

 Would have lost this regardless of bowlers, who ALL bowled poorly.
 Hope top guns, ( still not learning), watched class innings by Denly, proper cricket shots, rather than swish and hope.

Just needed to beat Kent to virtually guarantee qualification. With our remaining fixtures we probably will t qualify. Crazy. A week of nonsense from England and now Essex

Probably doing us a favour throwing away qualification. Saves us getting utterly embarrassed by one of the Northern teams.

Nijar is a complete and utter waste of a salary. Was poor last year and should never have been retained on anything more than a 1 year deal each season.

Snater is a worry he's really not cut out for this format and his CC form is now less mercurial and more average. We have basically one good seam bowler and 2 if you include ports in 4 day cricket (and he's way off his best) to me the seam attack remains a huge concern across all formats.

I'd rather see jamal play than snater.

Unlikely to have made any difference but why the hell did Sams bowl his third over when they only needed 10 to win?  He bowled 2 of the first 3 overs took 1-13 and then wasn’t tried til the 18th over.  Playing an extra spinner when in the last game Harmer and Critchley got smashed, not too clever either.  I’m sure Beard will get his chance tomorrow.

And rather Benkenstein that Nijar.

Where is Benkenstein ?

Blenkenstein  has a stress fracture, and won't  be available  any time soon.

Good question. I have no idea as to why.

Is Porter really so bad at T20 the he wouldn't be an improvement on Snater and Allison?

Can't bat, unremarkable  fielder,  and gets hammered for plenty. He is not suited to T20.
