We don't need eight bowlers plus Blake and can't help feeling that Denly, when fit, slotting in at 3 or 4 will strengthen us even further as it will mean that Blake, Stevens, Linde and Stewart would then become our 5-8. Not sure that there is a place for Muyeye too at the moment though.
Stevens comes in to join Evison. Stevens made his professional debut five years before Evison was born and was older than Evison is now when he did so!
Stewart goes for 17 in his first over but then bowls David Lloyd with the second ball of his second over. Bit harsh on Lloyd who, having been kicked out by Sky, is desperately trying to make ends meet by making a playing comeback at the age of 75.
I can’t honestly believe how poor George Linde is. The Ball he got a wicket was great but apart from that he seems to just chuck it in and hope for the best. Don’t get me started on that innings he played too... Really hope we are looking at ways getting out of having him next year.
