11:00 Crikey, Somerset have a very strong side out for the RLODC - Davies, Renshaw, Hildreth, Siddle and all sorts of decent youngsters
11:18 13/3. Oh dear.
11:22 14/4. Oh dear oh dear.
11:38 17/5 I'll probably stop this now.

And Kent appear to have picked Joey Evison as a specialist... opening bat? Odd. 109 in his second game. Turns out Kent can spot an opener!

Stevo hopping off the pitch injured a major worry. Please don't let that be the end!!

Notts knocking off the Somerset score in fewer than 16.4 overs feels like a dig.

Somerset's young guns getting boshed around by Scott Borthwick is... not ideal. Good batter, but he doesn't really bat in T20 so going at 150 against us is suboptimal.

Fantasy team on 950 points and Stevie Eskinazi has 898 of them.

Sonny Baker 6-46 + a run out
Rest of team 2-296 + a run out
Meanwhile at Radlett, the "why is Stevie Eskinazi not in the hundred" bandwagon gathers pace. You simply can't tell me that Miles Hammond, Josh Cobb or Adam Hose are better white ball cricketers.

To be fair, Hose got 550 runs at 160SR in the blast so not a bad season! But totally agree with the other two. Cobb may have been picked for his captaincy skills but Eskinazi an experienced white ball captain himself
Edit: For completeness, 2022 blast Hammond 162 runs at 13.5 (SR 145) (Gloucs' 6th highest scorer) Cobb 318 runs at 31.8 (SR 154) Eskinazi 431 runs at 33.2 (SR 152) Hose 557 runs at 55.7 (SR 161)

Other batters with 100 contracts we can throw under the bus (had significantly worse seasons than Eskinazi, although obviously different grounds etc, players who bowl a bit or keep ignored).
Cockbain 162 runs at 14.7 (SR 112) Clarke 305 runs at 21.8 (SR 152) Banton 359 runs at 22.4 (SR 129) Evans 290 runs at 24.2 (SR 126) Whiteley 231 runs at 16.5 (SR 132) Weatherley 356 runs at 27.4 (SR 130) Crawley 57 runs at 14.3 (SR 114) Bell Drummond 57 runs at 7.1 (SR 100)

We're going to need a bigger bus!
You're quite right though - the point isn't "should Stevie Eskinazi have a Hundred contract" so much as "should Stevie Eskinazi be a tier 1 pick" (as Banton was this year).
There must be something that we're not seeing. It's not even like this is recent form, he averages 35 @ 140 over his career T20.

I think everyone else in the England Lions 50 over side had a hundred contract too - so the ECB even recognise him! Just not these 8 coaches

Ben Green, what an effort. Felt like that Braithwaite century at the World Cup!
