I suspect it's two games and done for Matt Salisbury. We might not see him in a Hampshire shirt again.
Unfortunately a game where our two issues were magnified. A poor top order, and a lack of bowling support for Abbott and Berg. I think the latter is possibly the easier of the two to solve: if we can just get one of Fidel, Topley and Wheal fit and firing, then good job. They all have it in them, it's not like we'd be asking someone to step up a couple of notches. Alas keeping them fit, in particular, is proving problematic.
Top order more of an issue. Rilee has to be dropped down the order. We never should have promoted him to 3 in the first place. And unfortunately, Carberry probably has to make. Given that Dawson is unlikely to be available next game, I would be bringing Alsop in. Give Jimmy one more game, as he did get a score against Warks recently, But he'll have to make way if he fails again. Ultimately though, whether it's Dawson, Alsop or Smith coming into the top three, you wouldn't have too much confidence in any of them doing much better.

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.
