It's a batting lineup that lacks power to find the boundary on a regular basis but also struggle to work the field to pick up the 2s and 3s. Our tactics are stuck in the past hoping that we can restrict sides to under 150 whilst everyone else is aiming for 200+ and filling their 11 with players capable of hitting 6s.
I am not sure about that....my view is that we are not bothering to try and build a platform early on in the innings. It seems as though the likes of Clark and Lees just want to hit it out of the park from ball one. Its either we obliterate the opposition or bust.....
Red ball contract but is allowed to play second XI t20. I asked this and was advised this is the case.
We didn't even need power tonight. Nor did we against Yorkshire.
Out for a duck on the first ball says it all
Agree. There was no need to take such risks. They just needed to keep the scoreboard ticking and punish any bad balls (not that there were many). More intelligent playing could have won the game.
While there's always the chance Bedders will get a big score sadly they are few and very far between in this format from him.
Clark had that one decent T20 score against Leics (when let's face it he should have been comfortably caught on the boundary when he'd made 4 )but other than that his batting has been horrific and that includes his two innings against Lancs 2nds at the Riverside when he looked completely out of touch as well.
It's fair to say that the two best third-placed sides that qualify to the quarters will be from the South and Midlands group!Somehow were still third in the group
The North group even without Warks, Worcs and Northants is still shite.
Lancs will be getting Buttler and Salt back just in time for us to improve their last place standing
It was like a vision of Hell in the Co Durham Lower
Certainly not our group dreadful batting no plan at all. Had to either be ahead in the powerplay or have wickets in hand and yet we did neither!
You don't have to watch marra
