Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3338146, member: 9881"] The only thing that went there way was runs on the board. It wasn’t at a good strike rate, they didn’t hit them well, they definitely didn’t bat at the right strategy. There was 0 aggression whatsoever and as a result they knocked away a very shaking 40 by tapping the ball away to the boundary for a single or two. That is only acceptable when your coming in at 6 early in the innings and your the last batted before the tail comes through. Poor strategy and poor execution of any attempt at a decent strategy. Should never be getting a score of 140 when a 100 balls are faced by batters and one of your bowlers scores 28 off 18. Far too conservative especially for 3rd and 4th top order batsman who didn’t give there middle to lower order batsman get an opportunity to do anything. So no they didn’t resurrect the innings because there was nothing to resurrect. I appreciate and understand it’s first game back and everyone is a bit shaky but there was not really much effort to go up the gears throughout both Ben and Sam’s innings. So yes quite honestly not a smart approach to bat that slowly with wickets in hand and really not a great bowling attack apart from mujeeb (X and Wildermuth are decent). Never going to defend 140 with that attack. [/QUOTE]
