Starting Thursday.
Will be interesting to see the squad when it’s announced later this week, I would hope given recent performances that Trevaskis is included in the 12/13, I would imagine Thomson won’t be allowed to feature against his parent club and it’s becoming increasingly likely that he’ll end his return having not played (or come particularly near to playing) a game for us.
If Carse can overcome his ankle injury he has to play, unfortunately I don’t think Wood will be allowed to play, which is a shame given they’ll have Stone as part of an attack which from what I can see appears to be the strongest one we’ll have faced up to this point.
Clearly we were all hugely frustrated with the way the game yesterday ended, I make that 9 days of cricket out of 12 this season where we have been overwhelmingly better than our opponents - but unfortunately for us, the three days we have been ‘outplayed’ have all been the most vital days of the games in question.
I said prior to last weeks game that the future is bright and the Derbyshire game only hammered home that point (in my mind) because whereas the first couple of games could’ve been flash in the pan, we’re now sustaining that high quality and level of performance over a bigger sample size. We absolutely need to begin finishing games off of course and I do worry that sooner or later we are likely to ‘hoy one in’ and emphasise the point that we need to make the most of these good positions but it’s undeniable that we’re heading in very much the right direction with regards to where we need to be come next year at the very least when ‘normal service’ resumes*.
I’ve taken the liberty of copy and pasting the current taboe
I was generally against the increasing of points for a draw, but the one good thing to come out of it from our point of view is that our good cricket has atleast been rewarded by us being still very much in the hunt for the top 2 at this stage. At worst, it’s given us a little bit of protection against a bad performance in the next few games aslong as the ship is righted either side of it.
No Second XI game to start the week this week it appears, unless I’ve missed something, Warwickshire appear to be at Notts.
As usual though the club have been terrible at keeping us informed of goings on at the club as the website has a blank screen** when visiting the 2nd XI fixture section.
*Unless FTECB bastardise the Championship again.
**Tried two different devices, can anyone else get it?
