Chadwick has been playing for the seconds. In Hatchett, Adkin, Thorpe and Rollings we have four better seam bowling prospects. Tim Ravenscroft has played one game for the seconds scoring 3. Personally I think Jones and Endersby are better prospects.

Any updates on this chappie, and forgive me as I forget his name, the lad from Guernsey that joined the club in the summer.

He has been given an extended trial in the seconds.

have we sined him?

General question - do the new ECB incentive rules come into effect this season - and if I remember correctly doesn't that mean that we should be trying to play some under 23's (at the expense of the over 26's) ?

Gatting is an off-spinner and Thornely is a medium pacer.

Thought that was a typo when I read that! Could be inspired. What do those two bowl??

i went for Gatting, but might be Thornely - so may not be a bowler at all

Surely Beer should get into the CC Ist team on merit; ie, if he is bowling well for the 2nds and in one-dayers... and Ollie and/or Monty are underperforming. With young players knocking on the door the 1st XI must be a meritocracy, not a closed shop.

I agree Mentor. It's through his 2XI performances that I can see him getting in the championship team in the second half of the season when the pitches are turning. In the same way I expect Wells, Machan and Brown to be putting pressure on Gatting, Thornely and Hodd.

Cant see us playing 3 specialist spinners in the same XI, when Yards & Nash could fulfill that role should such a situation arise. Surely Will would only get in due to injury to Monty or Ollie for a game with a pitch that'd definetly turn.
But we've been over this before, if Aga or Liddle haven't forced their way into the 1st XI by July they should be released IMO.

Be interesting to see the answer in Sept, to Q.6 on the predictions quiz regarding which player under 23 will take the most CC wickets. Of the bowlers U23 only Beer has a realistic chance of getting a game in the CC, what chance has any seamer under 23 got of playing 1st XI this season?

Is Chadwick likely to get a game with Rana, Collymore, Martin-Jenkins, Wright, Kirtley, Anyon, Aga and Liddle ahead of him in the pecking order.

I fully expect Beer to make a championship appearence at some point during the season.

indeed it will DonT - I've gone for Chadwick in my predictions. Does Beer as (third) spinner and most people's tip really have a better chance of a CC game with Monty and Rayner both ahead of him ?
