CC : Durham v Warwickshire


So Parkinson again omitted!
Hannon-Dolby and Rushy recovering but not yet match fit
From EdgbastonX
OHD – who picked up the injury in training before last weekend’s red ball opener against Sussex – returned to running and net bowling this week.

However, he’s not in the squad that travelled to Chester-le-Street today (Thursday 10 April) but has a chance of being fit for next week’s visit of Nottinghamshire.

First Team Coach Ian Westwood, said: “Olly is building up. He’s been back doing some running and bowling in recent days and, touch wood, he’s progressing nicely.

“Hopefully he’ll be OK for Notts but we don’t want to rush him back, especially as we have a blank weekend at the end of April. He may need that extra time to sharpen up and return in early May.
“Chris Rushworth is further away from a return. He’s running, doing work in the gym and he’s seen a specialist to get to the bottom of what’s been a troublesome calf problem.

“He’s got a few weeks before he can start bowling properly and we’ll need to make sure he’s fit and match ready before he comes back into the contention.”

Tom Latham was due to make his Bears debut at Durham but the New Zealand Test Captain broke his hand in training with his domestic side Christchurch.
 
Hard to justify playing a spinner who averaged 53 last year and can’t really bat.

With how ineffective him and Drissell are surely you just play four seamers and Ackermann can turn his arm over if needs be.

Yeah that’s not a bad idea

I just think he’s a better bowler than driss basically

I think so too. Im not sure what make of Acker's spin, he seems to bowl pretty short and need I say that his average isn't good.
But, we know what Borthwick shared, he wanted a spinner in the team rather than wall to wall seamers and the riv isn't the pitch it was in the days of rushy and bunny etc. Spin is more necessary than it was. So, we'll see how Lees wants to play the game and where does his approach differ.
I'd still prefer Parky to play.

Ps and Rhodes to be considered as a batsman. He can bowl in the T20 for my money.
 
Tried to post a picture of the Warwickshire squad, failed miserably.

Looks very weak though, particularly bowling wise.

Davies (Captain)
Yates
Hain
Shaikh
Mousley
T.Ali
K.Smith (WK)
Bamber
Simmons
Fernando
