Killeen in the squad for what I think is the first time:

Harmer, Akhter, Allison, Benkenstein, Bennett, Cox, Critchley, Das, Fernandes, Jones, Killeen, Pepper, Snater, Walter

Das?!

[vim]

They are saving Das for the One Day Cup. Where he cannot do too much damage.

McKenzie Jones has scored a lot of runs for the Second's T20 side an d taken one or two wickets.

[Perov]

Killen has taken 3 wickets in 8 appearances  for Essex seconds. Jones took 5-49 in just one innings and smashed a quick half century against Sussex in T20, where Mills went for plenty. Jones for me before Killeen.

They may play neither.  Don't see Killeen or Das playing so I guess It will be between Jones or Fernandes for the last place.  If Fernandes plays they still have 6 bowlers plus Walter.  If Jones plays that leaves Harmer, Snater, Akhtar, Jones and Bennett as 7-11, which could be worse but is indeally 1 place too high for Harmer and Snater.

Essex won the toss and will bowl. Fernandes plays as a specialist number 8.

Walter, Pepper, Cox, Allison, Benkenstein, Critchley, Harmer, Fernandes, Snater, Akhter, Bennett

I live about 20 miles away and have decided it's just too hot at 34 degrees to go.

[Slogger]

Westley or Elgar would be a better bet than Fernandes

For anyone else, like me, that couldn't find the stream (branded as Steelbacks TV). Although at 92/0 from 7 overs it may be better to avert my eyes.

Look T20 is a s*** format for professional players. It was designed for mid summer evenings for club players after finishing work.
