Thanks for your mails and comments re the T20 side I posted yesterday.
You'll gather that I am a believer in the benefit of experience in such matches. Some of the Australian sides in the Big Bash packed their eleven with lithe young fielders and were accordingly brilliant, but buckled when the pressure was on with bat and ball.
Tom Knight may not be available for much of the T20, likewise Peter Burgoyne, but may be an option on slower tracks, even with Durston, Hughes and Wainwright as spin options. All the seamers will be in contention, but Groenewald, Clare and Palladino will be focal points of our Championship and Pro 40 seasons and will need a break at some point. Rotated, as I think they will be, they should be fresh and up for the T20 matches as selected.
As for Messrs Redfern, Borrington and Lineker - their time will come. I think all could well have a role in future one dayers, but let's use the experience in the ranks for the pressure cooker nights of T20.
I think we'll do alright. Amazing what one signing does for your prospects eh?
