"It is unacceptable and I can't use words you can broadcast to describe it and how I really feel.
"It is the first time I have used the word embarrassed about one of my teams but it was an embarrassment.
"It is happening so often. The batting group do not have a great deal of confidence and when they play on a difficult surface this keeps happening."It is not the first time this year a bowler in their first spell has not just done us damage, but blown us away."
and he can say all that, and it can be absolutely true, but it's on his *modded* watch.... he takes the blame. This feels like a bad workman blaming his tools.
Did we have to go for an uncontested toss? It was easy enough to check the weather forecast to see that the serious weather warnings were for today. If conditions were that farcical with the wind, then it might have been Leics batting today had we won a toss.......
except, of course.... we probably wouldn't have been able to bat all day yesterday, the way they did
