at least we've seen that de Loose can score a few runs and hit a few boundaries. I don't want him to bowl any more than 2 overs. Glover is in as a specialist bowler, so if he plays he has to bowl 4 or what's the point, but I don't want him to bowl more than 2 overs either, because we can't afford the runs he concedes or the lack of control that he brings, so he probably shouldn't be in the side
I just can't help but feel that we are a genuine batter short in the side. Bowling Turner more will open up a slot for another batter. When he does bowl we invariably use 7 bowlers, which is often a sign that things aren't working well in the bowling dept. It's a shame that we haven't had Potts available this year, but there you go, it is what it is
I believe that Coughlin is fit again, so the fact that we aren't playing him, suggests we're keeping him back for the CC, presumably to replace Potts
And I still don't know why we haven't played McKinney. I'm sure I heard Campbell say that his batting was made for T20, but I might have made that up

I don't mind de Leede playing as an extra all round option, but don't think we should be relying on him as a key part of the attack. Also, maybe it would be worth swapping Parnell for Patel (if he's still around), and going in with three spinners. Might dry up some of the runs which the seamers are conceding...
