Archer is overated but how embarrassing to struggle to defend seven an over against a team who are having to play their reserve bowling attack.
No, you’ll have to explain that one. I’m not sure how it’s in any way relevant them having a reserve bowling attack when talking about defending a total… It was always going to be high scoring. Batter friendly. You’d always want to chase on it. Looks like they’ll get there at a canter, thirty four needed off the last five. And the fact the lad who’s carrying his bat to a win for them was born in Yorkshire makes it hurt all the more too!
Easy win. Unless we see a miracle in the rest of the tourney i think it signals the end of Joss’ captaincy. Maybe the selectors need to go too.
We got seven an over against a second string attack. If they had their first choice available we'd have got somewhere between 250-300 which would have made a chase they made look easy, look even easier.
