jimbo jones Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 6 minutes ago, Anon said: I do adjust my expectations accordingly to following a team with such a small budget. I don't expect much. I would like to be competitive in some matches and try to push local talent when possible. This season has been abysmal. Either this is the worst squad we've ever had or they want Arthur gone and have downed tools. The Aussie woman on commentary made a fair point, when you're in such a bad run like we are it becomes about about the mental side as it does the cricketing ability… and we certainly seem to be lacking there. As soon as the Northants second innings started its been really poor cricket for the most part. Mihangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Zak Chappell putting the top order to shame making a half century. chappell and Dal also with the highest partnership of the innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 When Whiteley was out just before tea, I was ready to moan about the team and suggest Dal and Chappell should be dropped. So, that's their 100 partnership up 👀😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Batted out all the overs but because of the last hour rule we carry on until 18:07, and Tickner is out with the first extra ball. Surely should have had a more concerted effort to do some “gardening”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Dal edges between 4th and 5th slip in the last over of the game and they both leave it for each other 😂 Dal deserved that bit of luck. Match drawn thanks to huge effects from Dal and Chappell. Good to see some bottle, but we've got big problems with that top order.

Probably start by playing a spinner and I still think Came should be opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my biggest gripe at the moment is the young lads have disappeared from the team…and we've got worse. I wonder if they are saving Samit for the T20 first, and then we might see him in the championship when that's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 We need an opener. Everyone is batting too high, especially Lloyd. jimbo jones and Eddie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, huge credit to the lower order, showed the mentality that you alluded to earlier. Perhaps this is the trigger that changes that thinking?!? jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is the trigger that changes that thinking?!? We can hope. Thought Mickey Arthur’s post match interview was pretty much spot on. We do play some good cricket but there is a really bad session or two in every game which sees the chance of a win slip away. I don't think we've got the balance of the team right this season either.

I know he had a bad start but I really thought dropping Came after 3 games was premature, but if your going to do it bring in Wagstaff.

Steady one day player but a bell end I wondered when I saw he had been released. I can probably learn to like him with some match winning performances 🤞😂 Edited May 22 by jimbo jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Obviously another championship game this week first, but the way that's going I’m ready to look forward to the T20 and what the team might look like. My guess would be David Lloyd Luis Reece Wayne Madsen Samit Patel Aneurin Donald Brooke Guest Ross Whiteley Zak Chappell Pat Brown Blair Tickner Daryn DuPavillon With some decent players waiting in the wings, Harry Came, Matt Lamb, Anuj Dal, Alex Thomson, and potentially Matt Carter.
