There was a certain inevitability about this but it’s disappointing news nevertheless:

Guess they think theres better spinners already at the club like Singh and Thomson - as well as Jeets still looking good.

Poysden spun one last night that was a clone of Rashid's dismissal of Kohli

Got to be honest i'm gutted about this.....we didn't give him enough game time and i really think he will come back to haunt us.

Poysden is a real talent. This will be another Moeen Ali situation - not enough game time. He should've bowled a lot more in the T20 campaign  this year - if he had, we'd probably have qualified for the quarter finals by now. Instead we're scrambling to qualify...

Yep, those last two balls needing two to win against Northampton at Edgbaston look very costly now.

The run of something like 4 games where we conceded 200 plus is shocking when you consider the players that we have at our disposal.

Northamptonshire & Leicestershire took our attack apart and generally they’ve both been extremely poor sides this year.

Great game between Kent & Zummersett last night.

Somerset nearly chased down the largest total in domestic T20.

They'd have probably won if not for a 6 run time penalty

Two of the worst drops I've ever seen. Inexcusable.
