However, Worcestershire are top because they deserve to be there. The fact that we are competing with them and may even still beat them is definitely worth high-lighting. It didn't seem possible a few months ago.<br /><br />I'm hoping we declare with a lead of 250, giving ourselves two sessions to force a result. We've nothing to lose by doing that, but Worcestershire have so we might just steal it. All the same it promises to be a good day of cricket.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329701101131111316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-83315679798717399922014-09-03T02:24:17.366+01:002014-09-03T02:24:17.366+01:00There is no doubting we let Worcestershire off the...There is no doubting we let Worcestershire off the hook. I was expecting to see a lead of at least 80 but it wasn,t to be. Apart from the excellent Footitt and to a lesser extent Durston,we were rather ordinary today.<br /><br />Credit to Slater and Godleman who both batted well,though they will no doubt be slightly unhappy at not seeing the day out. Madsen and Hughes both enjoyed a reprive and live to fight tomorrow,though I can,t see this game ending in anything other than a draw. It,s not the worst result but we need to learn some lessons on how to polish teams off when we have them on the rack.Marcnoreply@blogger.com
