    Yeah it's a shame. That's another one to feedback though, I've mentioned many times that young players don't develop but have been seemingly ignored, another voice won't hurt!

      Can we turn around a mediocre start to our fourth season?

                    I thought without a wicket keeper you were really meant to suffer on this game but you still did well in the T20 at least...

                      Yeah, Donald is a very part-time keeper irl but wouldn't have thought that would have much of an impact in-game. I got lucky I guess haha

                        Not directly related to the save, but thought this was interesting as I had signed the same player: https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/...ghamshire.html

                          Ha I seen this earlier. Didn't realise his white ball stats were so strong actually! Seems he will be filling the Malan shaped hole in the batting order for a few games.

                            Still enjoying this story. Been inspired to start my own Leicestershire save.

                            2 seasons in, promoted first season but barely stayed up last season. Lost in the t20 quarters both seasons and nowhere near getting out the group in the one day cup.

                            Bowling attack is built around Griffiths, Taylor and Parkinson who are all averaging around 30, Zak Chappell and Matt Fisher joined last season and both averaged similar. Will Davis has been unreal though averaging low 20s in all formats!

                            Swindells has been first choice keeper (due to Hill being terrible in season 1) and averaging mid 30s in first class but struggling in white ball cricket. Sam Evans has had chances due to injuries and averaging on or around 40 in first class and list a, bizarrely for a very defensive player he's been strongest in the one day cup. Dearden was on his way out after being pretty poor but got a chance due to injury at the end of the second season and hit a couple one day fifties and half a dozen 50 plus scores in the championship helping keep us up, he wanted 51k to stay oddly so I decided to gamble that his form continues to be strong.

                            Handscombe was awesome in all formats as overseas and back in once again this season.

                            No funds to really strengthen but Steve Davies has come in from Somerset to compete with Swindells and as backup opener for Azad and Evans (both are very defensive and haven't responded to aggressive technique training so we often get off to torturous starts). Nathan Gilchrist and Joey Evison came in cheap and both are still young so hoping they come good. Gilchrist wanted 27.5k so wondering if he's just been struggling to get into a strong Somerset pace attack.

                              Nice work, some decent signings there. Griffiths and Parkinson seem to do pretty well which I was surprised about tbh. Good to see you've managed to get some form out of the likes of Swindells, Evans and Dearden, unlike me!

                                Having already sealed a Quarter-Final place for the first time, how high in the group can we finish, in order to hopefully get the highest finish possible?
