It will turn around but Welch now knows the size of the task.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-83460345912149652872014-05-17T21:07:57.990+01:002014-05-17T21:07:57.990+01:00Disappointing last night as it looked like no plan...Disappointing last night as it looked like no planning at all had gone into it. Looking at the team I thought we had variety in the bowling and a long batting line up which would let us go from the first over but none of it seemed to happen. <br />Two of our most out of form players were in the top 3 (Hughes and Durston) - obviously on past 20/20 form but it seemed strange our two hired guns were coming in at 4 and 5 based on the others form. As magnificent as North's innings was the match was over before he came in - he just made the score respectable.<br />Bowling wise we used two part time spinners and a bowler who hadn't been seen all season and they all bowled their full allocation.<br />Just seemed that for all the coaches we have at the club there wasn't a lot of thought/flexibility behind the tactics. Fair play to Styris but it wasnt a surpise he did this. He's played enough games to know he plays that role well and there have been enough games, even on Sky, to see his strengths. I know it's early doors but we need to get a couple of wins or at least performances soon or this season could be in real danger of disintegrating.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-73572472446350689152014-05-17T20:27:56.508+01:002014-05-17T20:27:56.508+01:00This is rubbish Peakfan, barely a first class coun...This is rubbish Peakfan, barely a first class county at present. Key only put us in again as he knows we are rubbish and smelt another collapse. No local talent, force winning coaches to keep their dignity and resigning no England players in a generation and worse no heart. im sure Mr Grant meant well but this set up is just not working. Mark these words Madsen will go at the end of the season fed up of carrying it all on his own and we will finish bottom of all 3 leagues Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102948935724702328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-13035546446404745132014-05-17T15:59:28.579+01:002014-05-17T15:59:28.579+01:00Iv,e just notice my post from last night seems to ...Iv,e just notice my post from last night seems to have been swallowed by the electrical gremlins,so I will try again.<br /><br />I can,t disagree with most of your summing up Peakfan. Until I arrived at number 11 I was nodding in agreement with your next team. I felt Footitt should not have played yesterday,so I,m definately not going to change my mind now.<br /><br />I hope yesterday was a case of getting every possible unforced error out of the way in one match. There were so many things wrong you could write an essay about it and then some. Indeed,it would be far quicker to reflect on what actually went right and that was a fine knock from North which deserved to be part of a winning score. At least he offers some hope for the future but he can,t be expected to do it all on his own.<br /><br />One defeat is not catastrophic and we need to keep that in mind,but unless some stark lessons are learned very quickly,our interest in this format will be short and anything but sweet.<br /><br />In short,if just about everyone had done the opposite of what they did last night,we might well have won. Most of those on view have played the game long enough to know what is required but experience seems to count for nothing.<br /><br />We have a week to come up with some answers. I,m quite sure the team I picked would have won,had we been bold enough to bat and then put our spin options to good use. Madsen has to take a long,hard look at what he did,where it went wrong and ensure similar errors are not repeated. He,s the captain and he has to get it right.Marcnoreply@blogger.com
