maybe but looking over the 4 days then surrey deserved it i guess, yes 521 is fantastic but rewind to 120odd for 5, then we probably should have had a minimum 50 lead on 1st innings, but didn't finish them off at 470/8 can't even blame no balls cos i think they were worse than us, 104 runs to us 72 to them given away, both bowling coaches should be cracking the whip
Lyth and Tattersall have to be annoyed at that. It takes something to bat first, score over 500 with home advantage and still lose. No wonder Cadmore is leaving for more four game opportunities when they won't pick him in that team.
I know it wasn’t a favourable result but what a great game it was !! It’s a plus nowadays to have a game almost uninterrupted by the weather, but to have sunshine as well ! All in all it was an excellent advert for county cricket.
Pathetic again from us, losing from what was a very winnable position, and not for the first time. Thats the Champship over for us again this season, unless we win summat for the most draws ? lol.
Sri Lankans are used to those temperatures though, we're not. Seems sensible just to change the hours for one day and catch up tomorrow.
Strong batting line up but bowling shows up our back luck with injuries. Common sense has prevailed with playing hours remaining the same.
