English Domestic Squads

[Aydee]

Alex Hughes is an allrounder. Changed
Luis Reece seems to have rediscovered his bowling this year, so could also be considered an allrounder. He's bowling a bit, but not much, it'd be like making Root an all-rounder from what i can see.
Tom Westley isn't an FC opener Changed to OD/20over opener. He's opened a lot in the past in FC, but not much last couple of years.
Simon Harmer a specialist bowler? Changed
ten Doeschate a specialist bat? Tricky one this, he bowled a bit last year. Obviously he has been all-rounder, but undecided if he still is?
Kieran Carlson is an allrounder, as is Owen Morgan and probably David Lloyd Changed.
Danny Lamb is an allrounder - Changed Cosgrove to 20ovr opener. Dearden to opener and Delport to OD/20over opener.
Cosgrove and Delport are not FC openers. Dearden is.
Saif Zaib is an allrounder, as is Rob Keogh (he got a 9 wicket haul last year!) Changed Said, unsure on Rob Keogh. He seems to bowl a lot in FC, but not really in other formats. Again, I'd argue he's in the Joe Root kind of bowler model, even with a 9-fer!
Alex Hales is no longer opening in FC Changed
Tom Abell is no longer opening in FC, nor is Adam Hose or Myburgh Abell can open though, what he's done his whole career. If Tres or Elgar got injured, I imagine he'd open? Changed Hose to middle order, Myburgh to OD/20over specialist.
Delray Rawlins bowls SLA Changed
Rory Burns and Sangakkara are not full time keepers Sanga keeps a lot in 20 over still. Changed Burns.
KP's Surrey contract is T20 only He can only play domestic twenty over.
Tom Fell isn't a full time keeper. Joe Clarke probably isn't either. Changed to PT keepers.
Josh Tongue is much quicker than RM

Jimmy Neesham has signed for Kent t20s, and Milne is playing in todays FC game. Not sure how to prioritise each overseas player

I think Parnell/Shah will play more FC/OD than Milne will, which is why I've got those two as Overseas/Reserve.

Added Neesham on a 20 over contract.

Only looked at the Hampshire squad for now but a few comments :

- Will Smith shouldn't be down as an opener in limited overs cricket (if it's possible)

- Tom Alsop has completely given up keeping.

- Calvin Dickinson (a keeper-batsman) is missing.

- Matt Salisbury (a bowler) is missing.

- Think I mentioned it for the previous edition but Dawson should perhaps he moved up to average aggression? Been so key with the bat in recent seasons in t20 that it doesn't feel quite possible using him the same way in the game.

- Haven't seen much of Abbotts batting but every time I do he seems to be smashing it around a bit, maybe deserves an aggressive rating (heck, he could even be close to being a bowling all rounder if he keeps up how he's started this season with the bat!)

Will sort out the missing players. I have to do those right at the end.

Can't make WIll Smith an FC specialist opener.

Changed Alsop, Dawson and Abbott. Just looking at some of Abbott's recent innings, he's been giving it a good biff!

How fast is Josh Tongue?

[Hampshire]

Saw Tongue the other day and he's definitely quicker than medium, not quick enough for a 'fast' rating but can probably squeeze into the tier below that.

I read an interview with Dan Lawrence recently where he stated he actually bowls off spin (albeit with a weird action) and not leg spin as his Cricinfo profile suggests.

Dawson opened for Hampshire 2 games ago and is opening for them in their current game. Not sure if you want to return the opener status he's had previously on the basis of that yet or not.

[Sureshot]

Changed Lawrence to OB, not sure about Dawson. If he continues to open we can look at it. Okay, will go with RMF for Tongue.

[DaveK93]

I'd perhaps change Brett Hutton from V Def to maybe just Def or Average, S/R of 44 in FC and 88 in OD as of now. Seems like a pretty handy batsman too, but obviously I can't comment on how performs there til I've given him a run out.

[JackMoore]

For Warwickshire Porterfield should be an opener in all formats and also George Panayi made his first class debut last week. I'm not sure what his pace is but I would guess as RFM. Also Ian Westwood has announced his retirement with immediate effect so he should be removed from the game.

My understanding of Kent overseas players is that Milne has been signed for the rest of the season to play red ball and t20. It's a really difficult one for the purposes of the game but I think Milne should be the main overseas player. Parnell & shah were only on 4 week contracts so I think one should be the reserve and one arguably shouldn't be in the squad. Tough one to work out though!

[ian_kettle]

Based on his white ball ability- t20 hundred last year. Couple of run a ball centuries this year. I'm not sure bell drummond should still be classed as defensive. Maybe average?

Right, realism plan! Milne will be main overseas, Parnell is reserve. Parnell played lots of OD games this season, so he should be free for Kent in-game when Milne is in Indian 20 over. Shah only played twice in FC. I think that's our best option.

Upped Bell-Drummond to medium aggression.

[ian_kettle]

Sounds like a sensible solution! Cheers sureshot. Appreciate it's hard to know but do you have any idea of the release date on mac?

[foreveryyoung]

Kent: Based on Crawley's 2nd XI form i don't think he should be Def, Avg defo maybe even Agg

Based on Crawley's XI he should most probably be opener as hes been playing there in mostly this season in all formats. Also opened in a one day cup and Kent currently only have 2 openers listed in their first class squad.

Charlie Shreck retired from all cricket, no longer in the Leics squad
