Not at all good, doesn't bode well, the bloke he dropped is now going along nicely. Plus Fuller is bowling some absolute rubbish.

Chose to bat first. Standard XI. No place for Prest, Turner or Weatherley. Pity, I'd like to see what Turner can do in the 4-day game.

Not that I noticed, didn't see all of the game, just most of it. There was a bloke advertising some sort of culinary ingredients, a lady admonishing people for not choosing some sort of car insurance and some i-phone screen grabs of scores in other matches.

Ouch, thanks for the info. Back to the 4 days game then. Any news on Prest? They said on the commentary for the Essex game that he's nearly fit to play again. Might even have said he was a possible for last night's game.

Well, I watched some of last night's game on some sort of bizarre Indian youtube re-transmission, I am now an expert in what you need to put into your curry recipes from their adverts. As far as the game is concerned, it's clear we have at least two problems. We don't bat well enough at the start of our innings, and we don't bowl well enough at the end of their innings. It's all wrong. McDermott isn't doing the job, the youngsters drafted in to replace Orr and Prest don't score quickly enough, and Vince looks out of nick. Scored a few yesterday but took a while to get going, same as Weatherley. Wheal shouldn't be anywhere near the side, Fuller is too wild for T20 fielding options, Wood....don't get me started, why is he still here? and Turner has obviously gone backwards or is no longer interested by Hampshire. Neser is OK sometimes, not as good as Ellis, probably a better bat though. We're toast for this season's blast, need a complete overhaul for next time round. Still, there's the 50 overs joust to look forward to, hoping for better.

Our bowling in this competition is just not good enough.

And with Weatherley they bowled outside of off, knowing full well that he doesn't score many that side. So eventually he gets out trying to hoick everything over midwicket. We're good enough against poor to middling sides but will come unstuck against the better ones, above all on their patch. Turner is a concern, seems to have weathered his non selection for the WC T20 not too well, mind you on today's showing it kind of makes sense. He's got to be smarter when he bowls.

Our bowling was utter rubbish today, shameful, too wide, too short, some full tosses.

Indeed, Gubbins looked like a fish out of water for the 3 balls that he faced. Surely one of the young players must be a better fit to deputise for Orr. Can't remember how long Gubbins has been with us exactly but the fact that he's only played two T20s in all that time is sort of a giveaway.

Oops, some serious slogging and we're back in it.

Heading for a big loss again though. Can't score quickly enough against tight bowling. Our bowling, in it's totality, is nowhere near good enough

Getting seriously tonked by Kent's openers.Turner went for 16 off an over and Neser has gone for 32 from 2 overs

Up to a point but three of our bowlers were way too expensive. Why do we persist with Wood? Never really understood this. Doesn't get many wickets and inevitably gets tonked, Howells looks like a poor acquisition, bowls rubbish and doesn't score many.

127 all out. Much changed scenario today, unless of course we get bowled out for under 40. Wicket is a bit green on top apparently.

Notts beginning to build a total again after we had them at 40-4. We need to stop bowling bad balls first and foremost, lets all the pressure off.

Vince played irresponsibly and eventually nicked one behind. Mind you he must be regally hacked off by our performance yesterday afternoon. We should have dismissed them for about a hundred and started to bat in quite favourable conditions, instead they made 235 and we bat in the morning. A schoolboy could have caught the one Middleton dropped, just unprofessional everywhere this season.

Poor start to our innings, Orr went to his third ball and Organ isn't a first division cricketer. We surely must have better than he somewhere in our system. Vince riding his luck so far, hope it lasts.

Don't know, they just look clueless at about everything. If we were a bit sharper we'd probably be 2 up.

How poor are West Brom ! Should win this fairly comfortably.

Once again poor catching has shifted us from an excellent position to one which might become difficult if there's anything in the pitch for their seamers tomorrow morning. We've gifted them 80-100 runs again. Middleton dropped a sitter and the bloke went on to score about 90.

Poor catching since lunch has let them off the hook. 3 drops, last one was pretty easy by the look of it.

Won the toss, chose to field, 4 seamers, no Gubbins.

Well, i'd probably not go that far, doubt he'll last long though, too frail by far.

Neither of these two sides looks anywhere near good enough to dispute the PL next season. So, they'd have to recrute massively or go yo-yo.
