Yeah. Table still congested so in theory I think we could go through but highly unlikely to say the least. If they'd done as you were hoping and sent in Handscomb at 3 we'd almost certainly have made light work of it tonight.

not with D'Arcy Short being that blooming stupid at such a crucial point in the match
what on earth was he thinking?

More worringly, what sort of a pudding of a pitch are we going to have to cope with on Sunday?.

The pitch was so far over to the edge of the square that it can't possibly have been a used, worn pitch, so I figured the pitch would be decent and we'd be lucky to restrict them to anything under 200. I suppose the dreadful weather over the last week or so must have hampered preparations, because batting was tough.
Unlike the Worcs batsmen who couldn't time anything, we got off to a very sensible start with no such timing issues and no scoreboard pressure, so what happened afterwards still has me shaking my head
Whiteley hit the last ball of their innings for four........ it didn't worry anybody, but as it turned out they were the match winning runs
