Lesson to young lad unluckiest run out

Brandon will be correct about margin of victory
Exempting the young lads only
Dickson,Borthwick and Potts deserve any credit for this debacle

The annoying and infuriating thing is this game was winnable had our opening batters played with one iota of common sense the brainless twits

48 for 6 after 8.1 overs. 143 all out after 20 overs. That’s 95 off the last 11.5 overs without the advantage of the Power Play. No idea what the front end batsmen were doing.

I’m not sure how much we can take from runs scored in garbage time* but you do have something of a point.

@Monument View is right too, the last 5/6 overs of their innings (credit to our bowlers) meant we could afford a slowish start aslong as we had wickets left down the stretch. It’s a smallish ground, we saw how easy it was to clear the rope when they batted with many miscues going the distance.

*To coin an American term of which I think fits this situation well.

Yeah, SB was OK. I think he's shown enough shots to bat higher up the order. My concern with him is he tends to nurdle the spinners, as a player who tends to use the pace of the ball, so the runs dry up. If we'd brought him in at 3 or 4 it might have stopped some of the carnage and provided an opportunity to rebuild.
