Can we bowl ...It could be an interesting one today. Can we bowl them out by lunch?. I think that has to be the target and if we can get my old mate Smith and his partner Browne out quickly,we are then looking at the tail.<br /><br />If we are serious about trying to win then we will need to crack on when it comes to our second innings. We have to aim to have Essex batting by tomorrow lunch if we are to give ourselves a realistic chance of bowling them out. <br /><br />Welch got lucky when circumstances forced his hand and Durston was drafted in at the last minute. I think Creweblade has made a valid point talking about team selection,which seems to have become ever more bizarre as the season has unfolded. <br /><br />I though that particular problem ended with the demise of Krikken but it seems not. Even some of his teams were more understandable than many of those Welch has put out. I can assure you he is not doing himself any favours and many people are beginning to openly question whether Welch is indeed the right man for the job. For now,I will reserve judgement,but the clock is ticking.Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-21473345471913626932014-07-08T22:30:34.391+01:002014-07-08T22:30:34.391+01:00been both days and enjoyed them. back at work so c...been both days and enjoyed them. back at work so cant do next two. thoughts - batting wes and mads played really well but rest was poor , bowling i thought was ok today and with a bit of luck we could have had more wickets - impressed with taylor and foots too. pally and hughes steady. have i learnt much - not sure - welch worries me not picking players in form - wes should have been an immediate shoe in after india and leicester and so perhaps should godleman and hosein. i just cannot see the case for leaving them out unless there are favourites in the squad which isnt good at all. crewebladenoreply@blogger.com
