A pitiful display after the first 5 overs.
I felt sorry for Taylor who was unable to get the ball off the square - but far more experienced batters didn't perform at all.
I think there should be 3 changes made for the Yorkshire game - but I'm afraid there will probably be 1 at the very most.
It's one thing sticking to a re-determined, pre-announced selection policy but when that flies in the face of the club's chances of progression in a competition, then I think the management need to have a re-think.
They are probably regretting it themselves now. Why Ackerman is not in the team is beyond me! If they are going to leave anyone out then it should be Dippenaar by a country mile! Make Ackerman or Nixon captain. They didn't really think this through enough did they. Whats the point in having 4 non eu players on the payroll if they are only going to play 3 of them.
Dagnall was definitely leaning on the pragmatic side and play all 4. I can see Crowe playing instead of Henderson.
But I agree, we are so close to 20/20 qualification we need HD in the side particularly since we are clearly a batter short
