Worcestershire will lose John Hastings for the remainder of the season due to a foot injury sustained against Sussex. There's talk of Mitchell Santner staying on as overseas player after the T20 Blast, but ideally I think we need a proper fast bowler to wreak havoc going into September.
There were times earlier this season when I felt the big man was a key figure in what was then a winning team, but as the months have worn on things just haven't clicked. Friday's performance at Edgbaston was a blinder, but with a Championship average of 34.38 and innings-best figures of 3-44 (not a four-fer or five-fer under his belt in six matches), he just hasn't been the consistent wicket-taker under pressure that we desperately need.
Good luck for the rest of 2017, John.
