I'd like Thomson in the team, but I don't want to leave Brown out. His T20 record speaks for itself and he's great fielder too. Leaving him out makes his signing look stupid, almost like one of those 2 overseas spots could do with being a batsman 🤔😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I can see why Arthur went with two overseas bowlers. At the back end of last summer Came and Reece were established as openers, Guest had been good at 3, Madsen is Madsen, and there were lots of positive noises being made about Lloyd and Lamb. Who are you dropping for the specialist bat? Yes, I understand that this looks ludicrously optimistic with the benefit of hindsight considering our current season averages, but there weren't many who were predicting the batting would be this poor last September. Batting collapses are the most frustrating and most immediately visible sign of a struggling team, but they aren't why we've barely won any games for the last several years. We can't take 20 wickets in 4 days. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Tickner and Dupavillon are the remedy to this, but I understand why Arthur prioritised this area of the team.

Yeah, I thought the 2 bowlers made sense. Tickner has bowled well and been unlucky, I think its 7 catches he's had dropped, add those potential wickets to the 8 he has and his figures look far better. I think our 3 main bowlers (Tickner, DuPavillon, Chappell) are too similar - tall & hit the deck with pace, which is where Mohammad Amir makes a difference. Lamb is too high at 5 and he still appears troubled by his back to me, that's where the potential batter would slot in. How you have at 6/7/8 is very much open for debate. I certainly think an overseas bat for the T20 makes sense when you've signed Pat Brown, Samit Patel, Ross Whiteley, & David Lloyd. Don't think we need more than 2 specialist bowlers with all the genuine all rounders we have. Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Squad for the game against Gloucestershire. Blair Tickner not in there, I wonder if its because of the situation with his wife. I can't imagine he's been dropped he's been our best bowler this season by a distance. I would suspect Thomson comes in. I’d still like Came in the team and wouldn’t mind seeing Conners play. Chappell is having a very poor season with the ball, but is second in our batting averages behind Madsen….which tells its own story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Only just clocked that there actually is a player named Dupavillion (or nearly!) in the side. Assumed this was a gallows humour among you DCCC diehards, as in, 'so bad he belongs back in Dupavilion' 👽 jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
