I don't follow County cricket that much but I have seen that Dan Lawrence has been in the runs (as an opener ?).
Will he be picked in the starting 11 ? I can't see the selectors breaking up the Crawley/Duckett partnership. Or can Lawrence bat elsewhere ?
Lawrence is not an opener
Has generally batted 5 or 6 this year but in this current game and in one earlier in the season when Pope was "rested" by the ECB Lawrence jumped up the order to 3. Even when Ryan Patel a proper top order batsman has been brought into the side and is batting 6
Fast bowling mentor is a very vague description. He won't be the main bowling coach doing the hours in the nets with the players, so will he be there during the main training sessions, or someone who comes in for chats and individual sessions?
This is interesting given that Leach is first choice at Somerset. Bashir has taken 4-299 in the CC this season and perhaps Key realises that the only place Bashir is really going to learn his craft is in Tests because he's not only at the wrong county but he's going to struggle to do that with the majority of the CC matches being played at either end of the season.

I reckon he's one for the future.
