Dorchester are forced into making three changes for tomorrow's NSA Premier Division League clash at Hamworthy Recreation, start 1.30pm.
Wicketkeeper Paul Bassindale is unavailable due to work commitments so Brian Keegan is called up.
County left-arm opening bowler Andy Coleman has returned to Oxford University this weekend so all-rounder Quinten Miller who has been away working in London replaces him.
And the third change sees Matt Joseph dropped to the Seconds with left-hander Rhys Davies making a welcome return to the side from university in Wales.
Dorchester, currently fourth from bottom of the league will be hoping to jump above their opponents who are one place above them.
And they will be looking to shake off the effects of West Indian Carl Brissett's century that led to a 88-run defeat at Parley last week.
The county town side need to improve their middle-order batting if they are to start picking up some much needed victories.
Despite the changes vice-captain Sean Walbridge says it is a very strong side that will face the East Dorset side.
He said: "The three players coming in are very experienced so I have every confidence for tomorrow's game.
"We have made reasonable starts to our innings this season, but it is the middle order where we need to see some improvement.
"The only time we got our act together in this area was in our sole victory this season against Colehill."
He added: "We have been
bowling fairly well so if we can tighten up and knuckle down and notch a good total then it puts the pressure on to our opponents."
Hamworthy are fresh from overcoming reigning champions Colehill by 134 runs last week.
Tomorrow's game has been moved to Canford School because Hamworthy's Magna Road pitch is unplayable after the recent week's heavy rain.
