That's the side I'd pick, but I can't help but think that the side looks short on middle order fireworks. It has a Jimmy Neesham shaped hole in it

I hope I'm wrong

Against machines, I'm a proud cricketing Luddite.
Wasn't particularly impressed by either of our overseas last year. Happy to revert to giving local lads priority.Reckon McKinney,Raine,Potts,even Mustard could develop into finishers🙏

That's probably the best side we can pick on paper but we look to be missing a 'finisher' in the middle to lower order.
Also in the age of T20 you would have thought by now a couple of white-ball specialists would have came through the academy. Looking at that team the majority are over 30 and aren't exactly quick in the field.

I always think our batting line ups lack genuine

Certainly lacks power in the middle order. Always seems to be Durhams issuse in over 20byears of this competition.
 
Usual squad for us short in the bowling and a lack of power in the batting its my least favourite format of cricket.

But we are historically the worst team in T20 and seem to have the same token effort most years of the competition.

No valid reason why Ben Stokes can’t be involved like.
 
Just realised I'll miss the game tonight due to other commitments.

Hopefully I'll get look in on the score every now and then.
 
Derby commentator is awful. Says Ackermann is opening, says Aldridge and Bedingham are Australian and says Raine bowls filth but gets wickets. Awful.
