Playing devils advocate here but at this stage of the season why is the NL meeting more important? Wouldn't Eastbourne take satisfaction out of knocking their local rivals out of a trophy competition that if the result goes Kent's way at Arlington then they'll probably win the whole thing. Plus seeing as Eastbourne will make the play-offs regardless of the league fixture result and if they slip up and Kent make the play-offs too it could make for 2 very attractive meetings!
Jacobs got given a new Championship average of like 4.6 something. So his NL average is double tha as his 8.63 NL average isn't current (it was attained in 2015).
Leek is back then! I think Saunders will be a relative 'find' but the Brummies should push them close here as R/R hurts Eastbourne and JPB was on fire at Arlington last year.
Teams have to stay competitive and Hall does that. A kid wouldn't have done and fans would've walked away.
However this is completely legal but why Birmingham were incorrectly blocked in making this move, but Cradley have been allowed to make it seems unfair. But that's the inconsistency decisions the NL has come to unfortunately.
Drury on Hampshire He had a quick spin after the meeting and he felt okay so he should be fine for Friday." Translates to a discussion along the lines last night of 'we've won now so take a break. Don't bother riding for your home fans but start preparing for Friday and thank me with big points then'.
