ralphindevon Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Well that was disappointing and the reverse of what we usually do. We used to be slow starters then win loads at the end, in early May we were looking very good but the match at Hampshire starting 6th May was unbelievably our last victory in the championship. Some work to do and if the club are skint, which judging by the massive increase in the cost of the end of season dinner suggests they are, where can they save money? For me, the signing of an overseas players on a short contract, especially at the end of a season rarely works, I don’t suppose any of them come cheap. For a full or nearly full season fine but not flying in someone just for a few games at a huge cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the stats that doesn't seem to be the case, I think it has had more to do with other commitments and Covid? He had a few innings batting 3 in the Royal London, started slowly but then scored a good size century and a 75. I don't think he is a cast off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Probably the fairest way to do it if they were insisting on it happening next year, although they're probably secretly relieved that Notts didn't win the title seeing as they aren't in a position to defend it! 14 fixtures per side which means not everyone in D1 will play each other twice, although I suspect they might try and arrange it so that each team gets 2 fixtures against their 'rival' - Lancs/Yorks, Somerset/Glos etc Division One: Essex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Northamptonshire, Somerset, Surrey, Warwickshire, Yorkshire. Division Two: Durham, Derbyshire, Glamorgan, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire, Sussex, Worcestershire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glos to be in D1 which is good. Two up/down. Starting to worry about Somerset now given how they ended the season..! Glos need to work hard on their consistency, and even more important they get a quality spinner now. Fingers crossed for Gohar returning.

Fingers crossed for Gohar returning. Fair points. Based on this season though, we’re better than Northants, Surrey and Kent and on a par with Somerset in red-ball cricket. I’m confident we’ll keep the squad together over the winter and we’ve already signed Marcus Harris to bolster the top-order batting. Gohar would be the icing on the cake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
