Alex Gidman became the batting coach in February. I can only assume he's an enemy agent.
I think we need to look at how many batting coaches we've had in the last couple of years. Trying to alter the ingrained poor technique of a white ball batsman playing red ball isn't something that too many will want to hang around trying to do.

The same players did a lot better last year under ten Doeschate.

We didn't win any of our first six CC games last season and that there was a heavy reliance on Compton's runs. Once the pitches and conditions got easier we started to win games - 5 of our final 8 games in fact. The fact that, in our squad, Compton is the only one who averages in First Class cricket much over 35 tells its own story. Most don't average much more than 30. That isn't down to the batting coaches we've had over the years.
It demonstrates that there are actually no demons in the wicket. Poor decision making and lack of technique contributed to all bar one of those five wickets. I fear that we will still be some 200 runs behind once Surrey have batted.
