Aye no real issue with the changes you just expect them to execute better than they did. Taylor was jammy hitting 2 or 3 up in the air that dropped into no mans land. Good game but we let ourselves down at the very end of both innings.
Don't know! didn't see him on the feed and Burnham was doing a lot of 12th Man duties do he had been brought down from Durham. At the end he didnt play fir whatever reason.Ce sera sera, win some, lose some. Rushy couldn't nail his yorkers,it happens to the best.
That was my view until I discover we've now got a full week without a game.
Nor is he "resting"-presumably he's still with the traveling party.I
Durham logic
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, their good days and bad days. No one will be more gutted about the outcome today than Rushy. He’s an absolute legend for our Club and deserves our support through thick or thin.
According to Marcus North we're down to 14 or 15 players. Burnham just recovered from a knee injury.
I’m not gonna blame our number one wicket taker of all time for his first bad day in probably 3 years at the club. Especially when he bowled well first up and took an important wicket (again!). And the other seamers were largely kids thrown in as we’d lost people to the hundred.
He cost us 5-10 runs too many. And compensated by taking a crucial wicket. Batting cost us a good few more than 5-10 runs. If they are chasing 360, then Rushy can go for as many pies as he wants in the last over
Question then becomes who else bowls? The 19 year old or the 20 year old?
Which then leaves rushy bowling 49 anyway
Again, then rushy just bowls another death over instead
Nope, he had two left. If it's done right then Trev bowls 47 and 49, Van Meek bowls 48 and 50. It should have been sorted 8-10 overs earlier but he brought Trev and himself in tandem and it mucked everything up.
I agree on rushy, but can’t agree Trev bowling 49 would have went any better.
True enough, we left ourselves short after the start we had.
I quite like the 16.4 taking away players, seems to have levelled the playing field for us somewhat, as we typically lose less players than other teams. Nice to see a few different players getting a shot. Shame we just don’t have quite enough bowling depth with a few injuries to coggers and Potts
Blame Rushy it’s allowed. Marty expected him to bowl the last over and Rushy would have backed himself to do the job. He’s a fantastic cricketer but didn’t execute today. The way you go on about Borthwick is bizarre tbh.
