16* v Surrey (The Oval) 2019
|
An experienced player who did well in several Matches last Season for the 2nd 11's - he avoids the White Ball mentality and can put decent Innings together - well-suited to the 4-day game and I hope that he does well. He comes from a good pedigree!
ReplyDeleteWhat are his career stats like?

Including friendly fixtures he appeared in six matches for Notts Twos last season scoring 352 runs @58.66 including 134* in a 3-day friendly at Northampton.
ReplyDeleteSome real hope there. After all batting places should, emphasis on should, be wide open after 2019 debacle
ReplyDeleteDidn't score many runs but showed that he could occupy the crease unlike some of our "Flash Harrys"
