Let them get about 40 more than they should have from where we had them at one point. Disappointing really. Without Sam, Tom and Topley we really do lack death bowling.
Jamieson has also been disappointing with the ball for Surrey
I expect you're having to pay him peanuts too
If we pay him per wicket with a bonus every time he bowls an over for less than 10 he would be the cheapest overseas in the history of the game.
Good finish that and Kent deserved it. The difference was in the death bowling. Ours was poor to say the least which meant you ended up with 40 more than you should have. Yours was excellent which meant we left ourselves roo much to do despite having plenty of batting.
We lack firepower in the middle order. Roy Foakes and Sam are big misses and have meant we have shifted Smith up the order despite him being an excellent finisher. Burns is pretty pointless in this format as demonstrated by Clark and Overton batting ahead of him tonight. I'd genuinely be fine with Dernbach in for Burns. We don't lose any batting and we gain someone with death bowling ability. Maybe I'm being harsh.

So a squad of 14 including Groenwald who is currently injured. We also have just 4 frontline batsmen so I expect someone like Harry Finch, who has been playing a lot of 2s cricket for us, to be given a short term contract plus at least one other outsider or Academy member to be given an opportunity or two
Am not impressed with the Hundred; it feels fabricated and not necessary to me. Especially now we've lost so many players. It diminishes the Royal London for me.
I keep getting emails and facebook messages for tickets, which suggests to me that they are struggling to sell tickets
