Yeah. This must be the most fragile batting lineup in county cricket. Reliable only in the sense that they can be relied upon to collapse every time!

We're stuck with Lees for 3 years! Clark has been playing for 2nd all week, without success. Noticeably both S.Steel and Richardson haven't so perhaps one, Steel perhaps, is doing 12th man duties at Worcs.

I think they'll have to bring S Steel in, can't do any worse!

my 5 feels like a winner.... although Burnham and Eckers have a 24 run stand going, which might be a new record for the last seasons, so maybe I'm the one with the nervous wait?

not facing spin either, so perhaps he over-balanced or something, rather than dancing down the pitch in expansive style

Yep. Keeper standing up to the stumps and he went after a ball down the leg side and stumbled out of the crease!

It's come to something when it's not remotely surprising to see them 4 or 5 down for about 100 runs. Hopeless batting.

The answer is - no they can't!

closing in on another century partnership...... and that's against the new ball too

I have a sneaky feeling that they may only need to chase down sub 100 in the 4th innings

chalk this one up as another disappointing defeat after looking briefly as though we were on top.

amazing how many runs we keep on conceding to lower middle orders. It's why we keep on losing matches

when I wrote this yesterday, I actually wrote "I have a sneaking feeling that this will be over tomorrow", then thought how ridiculous that sounded and so I changed it to setting them sub 100 in the 4th innings

looks like I would have been right either way

hey ho..... Sir ITB thinks we'll get promoted in the top 2, so all is well

If we don't get another 10 runs before tea, then my 5 will end up being well short

It's amazing how they manage to perform even worse than our lowest expectations. The bowling attack looks good but far from great and we've only got one quality batsman.
