    172-6 (20)

    Great to see both Jaydn and Ekansh contributing in what is their second discipline in a meaningful way - both returned identical figures of 3-0-21-1

    T20 season started quite well but think the break really destroyed all the momentum we had built. Never looked the same side in the 2nd half.
    Muyeyes' injury certainly didn't help.
    We're going to have to go for Promotion and the 50~over Cup only this year.

    Losing at St Lawrence against Middlesex isn't how it was meant to go......

    It wasn't our bowling that cost us today, it was the decision making and execution of the senior batters. Muyeye ran himself out, DBD and Crawley both despatched long hops straight down the throat of boundary riders and Billings walked straight past one.

    The only batters to average 25 plus in the Blast this season are Billings and Forrester (who only batted twice anyway) so similarly to last year, we need to give Dawkins, Denly and Ekansh more experience in the Metro. Then next year one or two of those might become the cake rather than the icing.  

    For that reason, I would like to see us put out the following side:

    Dawkins
    Jaydn
    Northeast
    DBD
    Ekansh
    Finch/Benjamin
    Muthasamy
    Stewart
    Dudgeon
    Milnes
    Parkinson

    Wow. Not been following closely today, but never expected us to fall so badly short.

    After a disappointing t20 campaign, it’s the right path to give the younger players more opportunities in the one day cup. If available I would also welcome Joey Evison being reintegrated into the side too - hopefully he can regain his form

    Oh dear.....

    Thought it was going to finally be Surrey's year for the T20 trophy.

    Notts had other ideas :#

    That Somerset chase is absolutely extraordinary. Were dead and buried at 80/8 and Craig Overtons taken 70 off the last 20. 

    Also I know Sussex are in the shit but Surrey's expensively assembled all-stars not making finals day is very funny.

    Too many thinking about the £££s of The Hundred ( spit!)

    There's nothing worse than getting knocked out in the semi-final of a WC when we, effectively, handed it on a plate to Argentina. 

    Then I thought of a scenario where our cricket team might be 100-0 and needing just 64 runs off 8 overs to reach Finals Day in the Vitality Blast. And losing because we bottled it despite the fact we had 9 internationals in the side.  

    Thank goodness that didn't happen. Two bottle jobs on the same night is a scenario too awful to contemplate. Only one thing could be worse. Having to give up our ground to the Mumbai Indians for a month.

    Decent team, I would include Compton as an experienced opener and prefer Fred over Stewart

    Joe Denly retiring at the end of the season.  No great surprise there I guess.

    Like Stevo, hopefully he'll go out with a one day cup victory.

    Think with how few players you've lost to that other competition and the amount of sides that will pretty much field 2XIs because they see it like the cricket equivalent of the Vertu Trophy you've got to be genuine contenders.
