    Oh thank goodness, on holiday but been following the game a little. I was unhappy with the score, but thought it was the T20 blast quarter final.

    Relieved is the word I would use right now.

  • We really have given up in red ball cricket haven't we.

    Something has to change in the four day format. Happens every year

    Totally agree - 6.4 overs to make a cup of tea is "Ridiculous".

    We have become very reliant on our bowlers and specifically Coles and Stevens with the others chipping in. Sometimes they won't bowl well but the real issue is, of course, the batting.

    With so many of our players averaging around the 25 mark we are always going to struggle to make a score. Equally, there simply isn't any pressure on places so, when someone like Harmison gets a ton, he is guaranteed to play the next three games come what may. Perhaps that's why we added Blake to the squad - to keep the players on their toes. If that was the case then it didn't work.

    Until our batsmen start to value their wicket they are never going to consistently get those big scores.

    One to Coles.

    On the subject of Coles, who has bowled exceptionally well this season (apart from the odd OD/T20 meltdown) I am somewhat disappointed to see, as he has always been considered to be a bowling all rounder (and that's not a dig at his shape), that his batting averages are:

    First Class - 18.70
    OD - 9.04
    T20 - 11.23

    I suppose, in the context that we have top 5 batsmen averaging 25, the First Class isn't that bad but the T20 and certainly the OD figures are poor for someone who hits such a long ball. Clearly not far enough at times.

    Stevens with a run out. One might think that this is quite an achievement for the soon to be 40 year old but, as the batsman in question is Richard Levi, it might not be as great as one originally thought:
