Keep them for D2 next year?

Might not be any better. They lack technique and sometimes discrétion. Prest survived a tight caught behind appeal only to play a ridiculous waft 2 balls later. He didn't need to do that, it's rabbits in headlights stuff.

Notts 52-1 in response to our 214.

Decent 55 from Organ, guessing he might be our Dawson replacement.

Some pace attack for Notts - O’Neill, Tongue and Stone.

Hampshire's top order yet again showing as much resistance as a sheet of tissue paper.

You have to wonder just what's going on with Orr to not even get tried out ahead of three or four awful opening batsmen.

Must have upset someone's applecart.

I'd clear out all the coaches and start over. No-one is progressing, most are going backwards.

This has been coming for a couple of seasons. Fragile batting putting pressure on bowling. Losing Vince and Dawson the steadying bit of side is big loss

At least Vince gave fair notice, he's an exilé so it made sense. Dawson just jacked it in between two matches, must have just had enough of it. 

We need a total clear out from top to bottom.

Choice of:

- Believe in Domingo as head coach, mass turnover of players and let the out of contract batters go back to local cricket/minor counties and full time employment. Keep Gubbins for a one more year but but not as an opener.

- Or if the club believe in the younger players as a bulk cohort (some of them are far from young now though) and try changing the coach.

Domingo needs a fast start in the Blast but can’t see it with these players.

Domingo isn't the only coach in question here. You have to look at Adams and Middleton plus all the auxillary coaches. Domingo has just got here, the rot is in the timbers since a few seasons.

I’ve been watching a few games and nobody seems to really be able to defend or stick around
