    Looking for a replacement implies that he's not being paid for September. I'm not too keen on short term replacements so I hope whoever comes in is also open to a deal for next season but all the constraints on availability may make that impossible.

    In after match comments, Shan Masood says they deliberately chose to bat on what could be a tricky wicket at first in order to challenge the batsmen to perform in those conditions. They also changed their batting order; Duke had been opening. So pretty obviously winning the match was a secondary consideration for them and maybe that showed in Masood's own innings. I can see some logic in that but if I'd travelled down the M1 for the day, while I would probably have enjoyed Radlett itself I would have wanted the team as selected to be trying its best to win by taking advantage of conditions rather than the other way round.
