Our batsmen and how many balls they faced. In an attempt to save the game, only three can hold their heads high as far as I’m concerned.
Absolutely f***ing pathetic batting on the whole in both innings on what was a completely blameless pitch - two or three deliveries misbehaved today, but essentially it was a pitch that was true and offered every opportunity for players to make runs.
I thought we’d acheived rock bottom some time in the last two years, but can we really say that we’ve improved? I know there are players to come back and I know we’re only one game in - but the same things are going on that have gone on for the last two/three years.
We consistently get ourselves out, we consistently lose wickets in clusters and we consistently outdo completely the efforts of our bowlers.
It appears the coaching staff (past and present) disagree with you.
Common theme in this match. Not suggesting any foul play but there were three absolute shockers for our lads, none for theirs.
I was thinking similar regards his contract and his performance history - the conclusion I drew was that he must be on absolute peanuts and it suits the club to keep him over having to pay a half decent player proper money.
It’s odd, because in the title winning season (and the one after) I remember a fair few really good innings from him to either win or save a game. It’s frustrating that he can score hundreds against what arguably was the best Yorkshire attack in the last decade and what won titles, to not being able to buy a run against Division Two pie merchants.
