Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 A good effort to get so close but disappointing ending. I wonder if we would have won that if Lakmal hadn’t got injured? Still, we appear to have more about us than in previous years. jimbo jones and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His experience is going to be missed massively as much as his bowling I think. It's a very young seam attack we have now. Hopefully Mickey Arthur sticks around a good few years. If he does we will have a properly competitive team I reckon. rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. It was an outstretched arm to the right, but only one arm. However definitely didn’t signal Free hit. Either way - we were gifted 8 runs (I think) from the two no balls. Our bowling was shocking so we didn’t deserve to win. Let’s hope Today is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the last 4 overs I thought our bowling was very good, especially McKiernan and Scrimshaw. when you’ve got two big hitters who are set like Warwickshire had for those last overs it’s difficult for the bowlers. You have to bowl an exceptional over because they are going to tee off on every balls. I think inexperience showed at the end and we don’t seem to have an obvious “death bowler” like we had with Ravi Rampaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Amused by the Sky Sports commentators, especially Cork, saying we weren't aggressive enough with our batting.

angieram Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Well, that was comprehensive. I wouldn't worry too much about the Sky commentary, Nasser doesn't even know the difference between afternoon and night! ? Comrade 86 and jimbo jones 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 What is most promising about this result is that Masood seemed to learn very quickly about why we didn't win last night and has put it right equally quickly. More variation in pace and length, adapted well to the conditions. Eddie and jimbo jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
