He’s a good opener and his role has seen him try to reinvent himself as a middle order calming influence and it didn’t work. Now he’s back at the top due to Luis injury and he’s all over the shop. Kim needs to take a look at this and action it. They will argue we’ve improved and won a game at home. I will say we’ve spanked a load of money on effectively 3 test quality bowlers and we still have deficiencies with the bat.Mark Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195212583411179197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-33804291077348733762018-06-12T22:40:14.574+01:002018-06-12T22:40:14.574+01:00There wasn’t a lot of cricket brain on show yester...There wasn’t a lot of cricket brain on show yesterday <br />We need 2 batsmen on loan to go in at 2,3 and rebalance the order <br />We have also got to overcome the loss of Olivier at the end of the month <br />Championship <br />Slater <br />Loan<br />Loan<br />Madsen<br />Godleman<br />Broderick<br />Hosein<br />critchley/ Qadri<br />Overseas <br />Perm 2 from Rampaul Davis Palladino Viljoen<br />Put a layer of 5 professionals above the youth and go with 3 seamers <br />Hughes Wilson and Smit rested /possible t20 picks <br /><br /><br /><br />Paul Fitzpatricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-45804434993975000622018-06-12T22:07:05.273+01:002018-06-12T22:07:05.273+01:00Unfortunately there is only one 2nd IX 20/20 game ...Unfortunately there is only one 2nd IX 20/20 game before the next championship match so little opportunity for match practice. I suggest a bowlers v batsmen with whole squad on the square. Despite our efforts of the last few years the last week must rank as one of our worst. It is at time like this where a manager/coach is vital, it is easy when things are going well to have the inner committee self managing. I think that despite everything a return to Chesney would be a retrogade step, and Hosien has to come in although I agree he has not done much batting wise but we know he has the temprement for 4 day cricket. Our frailties have been hidden all season in that any runs we have got have been at top of the order with the odd cameo elsewhere, but nothing really from the middle order, everyone is batting too high, Hughes confidence must be zero, so I suggest a time in 2nds would help him get back to the good cricketer we know he is. Glamorgan still below us so let's hope for positive news next weekOpening Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519434436888497342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-44784873756857878962018-06-12T21:19:22.883+01:002018-06-12T21:19:22.883+01:00O dear, o dear o dear......what's to say other...O dear, o dear o dear......what's to say other than that last 2 days must be high on the list of pathetic, gutless cricket that we have produced. We have 2 CC games until the blast starts so I would look at making a couple of changes. First of all get HH in for Smit and tell him no matter what he'll be in the team for both games, tell Smit to get in the nets a practice some white ball hitting. I really believe we need a proper number 3, moving Madsen down to 4 to (hopefully) take the pressure off him a little, who I don't know because I cannot see anyone on our books who could fill the role, maybe get a loan in for a month, someone mentioned Alex Lees, if he is available he'd certainly fit. The bowling is where we lost the game, to continue with the wayward dross we kept firing in at Durham was bad captaincy and bad decision making from the bowlers..........surely someone could of said after 5 overs of watching the ball go everywhere but near the stumps to get back to basics, bowl at top of off for a few overs and see what happens. Genuinely cannot believe that this didn't happen, maybe HV needs a breather too, what's wrong with Davis? Anyone know? I'd bring him into the side for HH and Ravi back in for Gleadall. I would also give Hughes a rest, but I cannot for the life of me think who'll replace him at the min. For all that's said about him his batting has been and is extremely poor, there are a lot of people who say he's got a good cricket brain and he's a good team player but where does this come from? In my eyes his 'cricket brain' is no different to anyone else's.Ashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-8869618412242341322018-06-12T20:10:46.680+01:002018-06-12T20:10:46.680+01:00I don't think much to Godleman's post matc...I don't think much to Godleman's post match comments but then I don't think he's up to much as a captain.

It's a mess and needs addressing pretty damn quickly.Marky Marknoreply@blogger.com
