This isn't the same kind of cope as last season where we all convinced ourselves that Lakmal's lack of impact was due solely to injuries? I do agree that if he is injured we're being very unfair to keep throwing him in the team. He has bulging discs in his back. I know your supposed to stay active, but I’m not sure standing on a cricket field all day is doing it any good. if it wasn’t still a problem he would have bowled yesterday. Lakmal is 10 years older than Lamb and probably about to retire. Edited September 6, 2023 by jimbo jones Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb averages 30 in first class cricket from 46 games with 3 centuries and 9 50’s. That’s respectable, and has gone down as he’s averaging 20 this season where he’s been blighted by a back injury. He’s doesn’t belong in the same category as Wood. du Plooy averaged 18 playing every game in 2021, but he’d scored runs before, just as Lamb has. Wood unfortunately has had one big innings in every format but has never done it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of the hundred that seems overlooked as the best white ball players aren’t playing that format. When the England ODI team is awful because it’s full of players who don’t know how to play the format, there will probably be some expensive reports commissioned to work out the problem….

jimbo jones Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Pat Brown has arrived on loan for the last 3 games ahead of his permanent move. He will come in for Scrimshaw who won’t be available for the final 2 games now anyway. Gives the last 3 games some interest. Brown is similar to Scrimshaw in that he’s made his name with the white ball, but seen next to no opportunity with a red ball. Other interesting news yesterday, Samit Patel is officially leaving Notts. One to keep a eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's why we haven't won a game in over a year. Conners is bowling better with the new ball than I've probably ever seen him, but he can't get a wicket. Reece and Dal bowled well when the ball was moving a bit. Having them at 169-4 we were in a good position. Whether it's the ball getting old and soft I don't know, but we then have had a session of depressing help yourself stuff for the Gloucestershire batsmen. We so badly miss a quality veteran county bowler that can make the new ball do things and then has the nous to get wickets with the old ball - a Joe Leach/Chris Rushworth/Ben Raine type.

jimbo jones Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Incredible caught and bowled from Dal to get rid of Price for 132. Depending on how quickly we can wrap this innings up, we might still be well in this one. Cue a centruty stand 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Now it's Conners with the diving caught and bowled. He deserves that, I think he’s bowled well, beaten the edge a lot. 22 overs with an economy of 3.48 is good to see when his biggest problem has always been leaking runs. This follows economy rates of 3.39 and 3.58 against Yorkshire. That’s the consistentcy I've wanted to see from him, keep doing that and the wickets will come as well.
