jimbo jones Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Watched the Lancs/Notts game earlier. Lancashire really should have won the competition last year, and look really good again, they’ve beaten us, Leicestershire, and Notts with ease and look the best team in the North by some distance. And we always lose to Notts, so….. im still optimistic we can compete for a top 4 spot, hopefully that’s still the case tomorrow night 😬 Edit: Monday night, not tomorrow.

jimbo jones Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Brooke Guest returns to the team in the only change. Failure to win today means we will head into June without a win in any format 😬 A critical game to try and get the season up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madsen found it difficult to get going which is unusual, given his form. Only way we win this is by bowling them out I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Restricted Northants to 29-1 in the powerplay, and suddenly 151 doesn't look quite so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Northants win with 11 balls to spare. Bowlers had a go but the batting hasn't been good enough over these first 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference in all formats is Masood’s runs. Swap his scores for Ali’s in all games and things would look a lot different 🤔 Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is Haider isn't just falling short of that, he’s just not been good at all so far. Still think Came and/or Wood should come into the team. The batting depth just looks weak.

I think Lamb, Wood and Came for Dal, Ali and McKiernan….perhaps Thompson for Watt too. We need a win soon or we will be out of it. So disappointing when I was so optimistic at the start of the season. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Very poor. Good job Derbyshire losing is the norm otherwise this season would be painful. Not sure it’s down to MA split role gig but that decision isn’t looking wise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 It was a poor performance. Sliding to defeat against Northants is not great. They seemed pleased with their victory judging by the noise from the dressing room. We just don’t look like taking wickets or scoring enough runs, which is a bit of a problem in cricket.

Having your overseas fast bowler who got 2 wickets, only bowl 3 overs wasn't great. Thought we bowled quite well trying to defend a total that wasn't anywhere near good enough. No wickets from the spinners in the opening 3 games is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
