Front page advertises T20 tickets but club doesn't check to see if site is accessible to buy them. Surprise, surprise!

I think he spent most of the season captaining the Hants second x1, don't know if his form didn't justify a first team place or if they just decided to move on from him.
When he used to play here I thought his ability to bat time and blunt the new ball was very useful regardless of how many runs he scored but those were the days when we had a formidable attack and that's not the case anymore so he will have to score a lot of runs.
He scored profically in the 2nd team championship, as did both Jones and Harte. I'd be more than happy for both Steel and Smith to bat time and blunt the new ball-better than Rockytype run a ball 40s.
