No hint of an injury for Ansari, just see...Tonfedd<br /><br />No hint of an injury for Ansari, just seems Solanki didn't trust him. Very disappointing.Completely agree we should from now on be fielding a much younger side. Would be very out of character for Adams though.<br /><br />MKM<br /><br />Welcome back! I absolutely agree about the lack of strategy and have been saying the same thing all season. It seems worse now than at any point in Adams tenure. How can we put up with this after four and a half seasons in charge? Azhar, as good a player as he was for us, was a massively negative step and should not be in the side. The likes of Curran, Jewell, Edwards and Dunn have to get a go its a good opportunity to get them some time on the park.<br /><br />I did enjoy Guildford, the ice cream was excellent!GreenJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658909094741780394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-5875245959789859482013-06-09T23:23:44.069+01:002013-06-09T23:23:44.069+01:00Josh - a while since I wrote in. Every time I mean...Josh - a while since I wrote in. Every time I mean to do it I'm not sure what to write - it seems such a mess this year. Just today we end up with a team with just one spinner and hardly bowl him? This is light years away from our approach in previous seasons. And frankly the Guildford pitches havent done anyone any favours again.<br /><br />But a bigger worry for me is we seem to lack a coherent strategy. I appreciate that the overseas player goalposts moved when Smith left. But bringing back Azhar seems very negative. Whatever he achieves short term (not much so far) does not give a long term benefit, someone misses out. I'd go as far as to say that he should not be in any YB40(or CC)team from now on as it serves no purpose and deprives a youngster of experience. <br /><br />We eventually got to the obvious post-Smith CC opening pair of Burns/Harinath with Solanki at three but the seam attack is still a mess as no-one is bowling their best if you ask me. Most top attacks have a settled pecking order, the new ball bowlers and the support players. We seem to chop and change too much. <br /><br />Your favourite "de Bruyn" issue wont go away either. Whatever his bowling uses he needs to deliver with the bat. If Davies is fit this week there is a case for leaving deB out but it'll probably be Roy who goes.<br /><br />Anyway hope you enjoyed the amenities at Guildford. Keep up the good work. The history of Surrey is littered with periods like this and it gives others plenty of pleasure. But we will return.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MKMmiltonkeynesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398987213682739852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-51173242329367583852013-06-09T21:54:39.118+01:002013-06-09T21:54:39.118+01:00
Did Ansari seem like he had picked up an injury? ...<br />Did Ansari seem like he had picked up an injury? If not pretty mystified by him bowling so little.<br /><br />From now on Chris Adams should go with a team in this competition heavily weight to youth and players likely to be at Surrey for the longer term.
