Slightly underestimated him.
Here’s a question for everyone.
Delray Rawlins’ contract is at an end.
Would you keep him?

Last Dabs of the season, we would need Van Z and Ben Brown to both get high scores, one of them a century to see us try and win this tomorrow afternoon.

Where's @Dr_No when you need him / her?

All day, very promising, very young, assuming he still wants to learn, sign him up.
Depends how annoyed the management are about his batting in this game.

Hhm.. tricky one. I see we're after an overseas batsman for next season to replace Murray Goodwin.. so it may be a financial decision.

They would get stuck in a spiral coming into this thread, forever in Division 2 batting predictions posts

The worst thing is we are playing a team who are basically thread bare, especially bowling wise. Farcical.

94 for 4 at Tea
Not setting the world on fire, still need 251 runs to take the possibility of promotion into the final game.

Depressing that we have never replaced Murray, he was a classy batsman. I'd love to get Carey back as a permanent signing next season

No way, lets get another 38 year old seamer in to help Mitch out.
Do they think today is the last day maybe?
No idea why they are going at it like this.
It will probably be over today anyway
Tee times booked for 10am tomorrow.

So ...this season has gone.
Some big decisions need to be made.
Jason Gillespie now needs to show the squad he has a ruthless side and isn’t just a nice hippie kind of guy.
I think he will do that,
Wouldn’t be surprised if delray is axed as an example.

Beaten by Derby 2nds, a new low...
TBH, seeing as the chance of promotion is remote and not in our hands anyway, I think now I'd rather we lost and put an end to it. I don't want anything to put a gloss on this season, and you can bet that "going to the last game still with a chance of promotion" will be a straw to be clutched at.

That's a collapse of 86-8.
We've known all season that our batting isn't good enough for Div 2, let alone Div 1.
In addition, I fully expect Jimmy to retire sometime soon at that will mean Archer will be centrally contracted and hardly feature in the 2020 County season.
I just hope Dominic Sibley gets the nod for England and does the business because we don't want to lose Salt to England as well as Archer.

Dizzy said this week that Archer will be centrally contracted next year. Lets hope we spend the money on a solid batsman.

Well this season ended with a whimper.
Lets hope we get it right in an 8 team Div 2 next season.
They still have not said what the promotion and relegation spaces are yet, but hopefully 2 not 1.
Keep the faith.

We need 3 solid batsmen. Massive season for us next year - we've punched above our weight in the last 20 years but it finally feels like we're joining the likes of Leics, Derbys, Gloucs, Northants and Glamorgan as permanent non-entities.
