badgerx16 Posted Saturday at 12:20 Posted Saturday at 12:20 When does pessimism about a result become realism and acceptance of impending defeat ?

Gloucester Saint Posted Saturday at 14:44 Posted Saturday at 14:44 278 to win and a top order made of plywood. Hmmm….
badgerx16 Posted Saturday at 14:50 Posted Saturday at 14:50 This game eill be lost because of their last wicket stand in the 1st innings and the last 2 in the 2nd.....129 runs.

What can you do, our bowling, Abbott apart, is sub-standard and tends to be expensive. Baker may well be a top bowler one day but right now he's erratic and lacks control.
Window Cleaner Posted Saturday at 16:38 Author Posted Saturday at 16:38 Ffs Lehmann what was that about? Can't be arsed?

Final day of mens game playing while women have a T20 on the nursery ground next door. I occasionally walk through the gate in Telegraph Woods with the dog and watch a bit of the 2nds but i imagine they will prevent that access Entrance is free for the T20. 1
Window Cleaner Posted Sunday at 10:16 Author Posted Sunday at 10:16 No but seriously, do these players ever use their brains a bit or is slogging just a reaction that they can no longer control?

Baker may well be a top bowler one day but right now he's erratic and lacks control. The main problem I feel is the retirement of Dawson which has left us without a top class spinner and crap batsmen. Baker is sometimes erratic I agree but he played well in the Hundred and got regular wickets

Perhaps we need to get their bowling coach, don't think we have one at all.
Lee On Solent Saint Posted Sunday at 13:05 Posted Sunday at 13:05 Pretty much all over now for Hampshire in Division one now. Glamorgan losing to Leicestershire and Hampshire doing their upmost best to help Yorkshire survive.

Glamorgan losing to Leicestershire and Hampshire doing their upmost best to help Yorkshire survive. No surprise really, we've been heading down these last two seasons. Fundamental problems not adressed, no real openers, poor captain who doesn't even merit his place in the side,no real spinner and one reliable seam bowler. Plus head in the sand reliance on "young players" who've failed time after time. We need to get 2 openers, Gubbins at 3, don't suppose Lehmann will stay on,Albert at 4,Mayes at 5 and keep wicket, new spinner who can bat a bit,then perhaps Neal, Abbott and 3 other players.

Window Cleaner Posted Sunday at 14:33 Author Posted Sunday at 14:33 Lost, good effort from the lower middle order. Might have done better but for the leg side hoicking that cost us at least 3 wickets.
badgerx16 Posted Sunday at 16:44 Posted Sunday at 16:44 5 games left, 4 of them vs teams in the top 5.
