Yeh,the fact that Connors with a batting average in single figures can survive largely untroubled for 10 overs against the new ball is indicative of how flat the pitch is. All credit to him,nevertheless, for showing the application required.
Yup as per my comments earlier, it feels like it's just 1 of 2 at the top contributing and we then have to rely on Clarky bailing us out which he's doing here basically sticking around. It's not good enough really. Rhodes has been treated awfully in my opinion. Century for him today
Treated awful he's been awful in the county championship
Yes agree his county form a let down can't disagree however as an extra bowling option I feel he should be in the side. Plenty others under performing in the squad who continue to be selected. I'd be interested to see Ackermann's average in the last 8 games or so? Also Bedingham is averaging less than 20 for example. Maybe some are undroppable? I'm still not convinced by Gay, it's all or nothing really. Only Lees and Clark have really shown any sort of consistency with the bat this season . Rhodes is in his best form at the moment (yes I know white ball....) and we took the piss out of him Friday, and I think he's shown today he's capable by scoring well for the 2nds. Just my opinion I think he would be more use with the 1st team at the moment with bat and also ball. An attack of Connors and Bailey worries me especially in a relegation scrap. I've just seen Killeen is playing for the seconds which is ridiculous
2-0 up after an hour, 2-2 after 90+5. Never going to feel great.
Yeh,and if it's still level after max 384 overs no extra time or penalties. Ridiculous.
I'm on the fence don't know what to think. However I'm standing by my view about just 1 or 2 only ever contributing at the top, that needs to be better. Hopefully we go well tomorrow
I'm sure it was a wonderful day in fine weather for the neutral observers but another middle order collapse for die-hard supporters in a relegation battle should be a concern.
Rhodes averages 15 he's lucky he hasn't been left out earlier
So you're happy with a bowling lineup of Potts parky Raine and Rhodes that's even less bowling than we have playing as Rhodes is part time at best
Bailey isn't In the team
I don't see much support in your posts, that's all.
It's a cracking ground and club tbh, big crowd for the CC, knowledgeable supporters with good banter. Glad you had a good day... obviously in the posh seats! I spent the day mostly in the stand by the main scoreboard
