We (Warks) are obviously expecting the pitch to take spin, with a slow left armer (Metters) and offspiner (Patel) in the side. The pace bowling looks light with Woakes out of the side; Barker's not really above medium pace and I'm not convinced he's an opening bowler.

Still think we have too many bowlers. There are 5 specialist bowlers plus Wright and Nash can bowl. Would like to see one of the bowlers dropped for a batsmen.

Our batting line up looks VERY fragile with all those bowlers, 9, 10, J are all rabbits.

Anyon opened last season for a time.

I think it's down to the case he really isn't a t20 player.
Great in the County championship, great in the CB40, but i just don't think he's a T20 player, scores quite slowly and needs a fair while too settle, time that there isn't in t20, having said that if he was playing the other night against Hampshire chasing a fairly poor score, I dare say the match might have ended up differently!

Hodd c Metters b Rankin and wright out for duck

Too many bowlers and not enough batsman. One of Lou Vincent, Ben Brown or Joe Gatting should have been selected as we seem top heavy with bowlers. Fair enough all three aren't in sparkling form but Hodd & Wright at 5 & 6 is a recipe for disaster.
