Think I’d have been struggling and I’m only 37 ? Not a lot of shade at the ground either. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We didn't score enough in the first ten overs. That cost us the game. 35 for 0 off the first ten in a powerplay is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have been a conscious effort to take more time which has gone a bit too far the other way. 2 runs off the last over was also disappointing, should have got the total over 250. Out of form players at the top of the order isn’t helping either. For me Masood surely has to open, and I’d have Guest at 3? Work the rest around that, as they are the 2 best batsmen currently available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the batsmen, Barker was getting movement and lift off the pitch and Turner was very difficult to get away. I felt we really lost it in the way we batted after Dal and Guest were out, particularly the last 10 overs, and by not going on the attack when Hants were 68-5. It was almost as if they were following a classic Billy G game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just had to tick along against our trundlers to win the game, I would agree that having spinners on from both ends didn't work. Having said all that, we dropped two difficult chances, Catch one of those and we would have probably won. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just thought the field settings were more defensive than attacking during the middle of their innings, for a game we had to win. Also, Yosser was brought on very late and would have been a better bet for a wicket than either spinner. Edited August 13, 2022 by Crewton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Lots of if’s. We gave a decent side a very good game. They can cope better than us without 4 or 5 key players due to the strength in depth of their squad…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Conners and Harrison in for Wood and Thompson. Lost the toss again and are batting first. Don’t know much about Archie, is he a bowler or all rounder? Feel a bit sorry for Wagstaff, hope he gets a game before too long…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
