He's no power hitter, but it is a bit more of an insurance policy than Batty who hasn't been in the best of batting form this year.GreenJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658909094741780394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-26753444892700081822012-07-03T10:36:24.975+01:002012-07-03T10:36:24.975+01:00Yep, agree with that - in these circumstances you&...Yep, agree with that - in these circumstances you'd bat to 7, surely?Rob D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-81270743837116271832012-07-03T10:34:55.816+01:002012-07-03T10:34:55.816+01:00Tim - I guess that's all we can hope for, not ...Tim - I guess that's all we can hope for, not that the weather will allow it this evening. What we don't want is to collapse in a heap in all the remaining games.<br /><br />Rob - I agree up to a point, but you have to be pragmatic with your batters, at the moment there is so much pressure on the top three with the allrounders coming in at five, and de Bruyn, who can't hit it off the square, at four. I just don't understand why Burns was left out, and why you'd pack the bowling so much.GreenJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658909094741780394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-22115517051029738082012-07-03T10:24:09.209+01:002012-07-03T10:24:09.209+01:00When is this bloody weather going to take a turn f...When is this bloody weather going to take a turn for the better?! <br /><br />T20 is not a version of the game I enjoy particularly, although after work it makes for a reasonable evening over a couple of beers if the weather is good. The 20 over game is a fairly one-dimensional slogfest at the best of times but I really fail to see the point of playing an even shorter version of the game. 15 overs is no real test and it doesn't constitute value for money for the punters. I know we can't do anything about the weather but these events do pose significant questions about the value of this competition. <br /><br />Overall, it seems to me that arguing about the wrong balance of players is pointless in these circumstances - you simply choose your big hitters, most in-form bowlers and hope for the best! (which is probably why I'm not a cricket coach!)Rob D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-61989867434963142492012-07-03T09:58:53.168+01:002012-07-03T09:58:53.168+01:00Thanks for keeping the reports coming.
