Not the reason we lost, but I feel Willey should have gone in before Woakes. The run rate at the time was about 11 an over so you are asking a lot of a guy who hasn't batted for 6 months

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not going to repeat my thoughts on him.

Worth considering this shouldn't be anything like the team we send out at the World Cup but spending all year playing Left Arm Idol with the bowling is annoying.

Yorkshire Lost. Warwickshire need a 2-3 hour slog followed by a bowling miracle

The slog was taken too literally and went badly

Needed another 40/50 runs for a competitive target,

Hain down at 8, must have been an injury?

Yep, had Davies as a runner

Did it chasing a ball to the boundary yesterday.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, had Davies as a runner

And he got run out

Davies has been a major let down, been pretty awful over the whole season for a high profile (presumably not cheap) signing.

Not just what he hasn't done on the field but also the affect he's had. Yates never worked out at 3 and went from the verge of the England squad to being dropped and Burgess wants out and is allegedly refusing to play because he lost his place to him for the T20.

Matt Lamb got dropped after a couple of poor games after having a decent season beforehand, Stone, Sibley, Hose all going to other counties, presumably Burgess will follow. Fast bowlers always injured and the overseas signing an unmitigated disaster...again. Captain already supposedly knows he's losing his job, to god knows who.

Just one big mess

14/2...

33/3

Brookes leaking like a sieve as per though. Could knock off the target by just tucking into him.

 

[Sniffer]

49/4

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

2-0-17-0 for Brookes. Went at 8 an over in the first innings too

But he'll always have that Hundred game that none of us care about

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

73/5, Norwell doing it on his own as best he can.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Five for Norwell, 85/6

 

[Sniffer]

How long can Norwell and OHD keep going for without reverting to the other bowlers. Mind you they've got all winter to get over it.

Deano, Deano.

Barks to win the game with 30no

How many times does the bloke have to keep punishing the decision not to offer him a deal until it was too late?
