Bar head into two successive home games with Radlett the first of those two to visit the David Lawrence Memorial Ground.
Radlett started the season positively with two wins at the start of the season. Beating Hertford and Old Owens saw them sat joint top, but since then they have gone 5 without a win and their club seems in a bit of a mess at the moment and for one that's historically been the leading light of Herts Cricket, this has been some fall from grace.
They have been without the services of Josh de Caires and Noah Cornwell through greater Middlesex commitments and lost star batter Archie Harrison last week as he departed back to his old club in Derbyshire. A long term injury to David Burnell and the loss of Kabir Toor and Fraser Crawford see them now as a shadow of their former selves and they are in a real fight to stay in the Premier League.
Last time out they held leaders West Herts to a draw but only garnered 4 points from the game and they are now just 6 points ahead of Old Owens who despite their first win at the weekend still sit bottom.
Performance wise, only returning old boy Lloyd Paternott sits in the top 25 with 199 runs with young player Suhan Shovkar hot on his heels. Bowling wise, South African Malusi Siboto leads the way with 11 league wickets and Ruben Hamm has 8 but after that the cupboard is a little bare.
Last year Bar gave Radlett a bit of a doing over. Bar scored 307 for 6 from 60 overs with James Seward hitting 115 (scored two hundreds against Radlett that year) and an unbeaten 80 from Reece Hussain. Thilan Walallawita then span out the visitors taking his best figures for the club with 7 for 20. Bar bowled them out for 97, winning by 210 runs.
