Jones made a mistake in my view, he could of had a career after cricket like alot of players. He was the man in possesion and being picked ahead of Smith. When one factors in the retirement of Jefferson and Boyce being moved into the middle order, that left Thornely, Smith and himself competing for two spots. Maybe all three could of got starts if Thakor stays in education. He could quite easily have become a first choice opener/middle order bat for a first class county team next season. He didn't play alot so he won't be missed on that basis.
Joseph did alot at the begining of season, but then faded. His age, wage bill and the emergence of Taylor were probably other factors in not being kept on. Taylor took a fiver for last game and didn't make the starting line up for the recent game. What has Buck got on the management?
