So Lehmann, Neser and Abbott.  does that mean that we'll be rotating our overseas players?

Although Neser is just for the first 6 championship games.

Lehmann has a dual passport so does not count as overseas.

Ah thanks, seem to remember that his mum is someone connected with Hants's sister.

Sounds like good news.

I’d certainly rather have those two than Hampton and Stoneman. A shame we couldn’t get Varma and Brevis back for the County and Blast respectively.

Vince has signed on for the blast as skipper

Ben Mayes and Manny Lumsden playing for England U-19s on SS Main Event. I know it's only Scotland's kids but the former is on 122, almost exactly half of England's total so far.

Mayes made 191, an England youth record.

Mayes is currently the tournament’s top scorer, albeit after a modest 24 against the convicts today. Lumsden the star of the last game against NZ with five wickets for a pretty good economy. Looks like we have a couple of bright talents, I’m wondering if the former can push someone like Prest out of the team.

Lumsden seems to have gotten hammered today, the other bowlers not much better though.

Will need a big show from the England batters to get anywhere near India U19s total.

See that we have Tristan Stubbs for the T20.

Were Sussex even that good last season? Perhaps they spend a fortune on fading idols.

Beaten by what looks like Tendaulkar-like talent. To be that good and playing in the IPL facing 90mph bowlers at 14…blows the mind.

That utterly ludicrous innings from Suryavanshi was basically the difference between the two teams. As you say, if he carrys on like this then in 25 years they'll all be saying, 'Sachin who?'

Very impressive tournament overall for our two boys, hopefully they come back with their tails up.

[Lighthouse]

Stubbs is an interesting addition to the T20 side, with Cartwright too it clearly shows where we feel we're weaker in the team. Without Howell this season there's a need for a bit more bowling from someone. If Baker, Currie, Wood and Turner all play we're going to have a longer tail.

If anyone's interested, Stoneman has definitely left, he's signed for Sommerset.
