Two OS bats and an intro to the T20 side for Haines, Orr, Carter, Coles, Ibrahim, H-P, Carson, Atkins and new boy Finn, is all that's needed. Two proper OS bats, not Wieses or Heads but Rohits or Babars. Orr and Carter are musts of the youth in all forms.
Evans has done nothing since he left. We've had Jordan's best days and Salt can be filled by OS, Orr or Carter. Salt is a great ball striker but he's nearly as dumb as Rawlins when it comes to shot selection.

I thought the difference in the body language of the two sides was obvious. Something looks very wrong. What was also interesting was Sky's post match interview with Luke Wright - the tone and some of the content wasn't like the old Luke. Questioned on the balance, he just said it is what it is. Very dismissive, unaware or following bad orders. The coms mentioned us being one batter light, minimum, numerous times. Why is something so blindingly obvious lost on our leaders? It's brainless. |

I wouldn’t mind having Alex Carey back, could keep wicket and bat in the top 5. Thought he was a class act, unfortunately he’ll always be remembered for dropping Mo Ali in the QF but that’s the only mistake I remember him making behind the stumps.

Too many variables to predict for next season's T20.
Can we secure Khan, how will Finn fair, who will replace Salt
etc..
Completely agree with joe, Alex Carey is a magnificent player,
but why would he want to return to Hove now there is no Gillespie.
As for Head, just pay him to play in the T20 and save the pennies
for elsewhere.
And what of Covid in 8 months time - will we be on variant 10, for
example? Already, Fauci has a new one up his sleeve called MU, which
may be media utilised to make sure everyone gets a booster this winter.
Then there are the impending retirements of Wright and Bopara. How will
our talisman of the last 5 years, for example, be replaced?
If Andrew continues with his present self-destructive drive of throwing in
nothing but youngsters, I don't see much hope in the short-term.
