Milfner Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thought Bears were about 15 short after the start we had but the bowlers have turned up big time! Glamorgan 4 down inside the power play, perfect. Just Rudolph to get rid of here really and you'd think that would be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 looks like it will be a good but competitive total to chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 let them off the hook, after getting them 30 for 3 in the powerplay. Some poor bowling, particularly the last over, 4 nice and wide half volleys and each one got what they deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Well, that's that then. We've never got near 200 this season (feels like). Love to be proved wrong, but we've as good as lost already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Basically all on these two you'd think. Hain is such a player, but praying for a miracle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Our running has been shocking in the final, so many 1's that could have easily been 2's and Pollock being run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hain was struggling wasn't he. We did well. Notts were just too good. We needed a fast start like in the semi to chase that type of total. In Guerney and Ball that have two very good one day bowlers. Pollock will learnt from that mistake. Great prospect Edited September 2, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just have to take the positives from it. Giles and Troughton have transformed the side from ageing to young and to reach the final was a major achievement. Stone bowls at 92 mph, seriously quick by any standards and in Hain, Sibley, Hope, Pollock and Thomason the future looks better than it did at the start of the season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Thoughts on the Ashes squad? I think Adil Rashid is more than a tad unlucky not be going as the second spinner. The selectors obviously see a bright future for Mason Crane, so want to give him a chance. • Joe Root (Yorkshire) captain • Moeen Ali (Worcestershire) • James Anderson (Lancashire) • Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire) • Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire) • Gary Ballance (Yorkshire) • Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire) • Alastair Cook (Essex) • Mason Crane (Hampshire) • Ben Foakes (Surrey) • Dawid Malan (Middlesex) • Craig Overton (Somerset) • Ben Stokes (Durham) • Mark Stoneman (Surrey) • James Vince (Hampshire) • Chris Woakes (Warwickshire) Edited September 27, 2017 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 2 Surrey players gives us a fighting chance of winning , but we probably needed 3 to be safe Roland-Jones is possibly one that deserved a call and I'm not sure I'd have picked Dawid Malan other than that it looks a decent team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales was mentioned as potentially coming in for Malan, to bat at 5, but the selectors seem to have stuck with their man. Foakes is a good call from Surrey, as he's a fantastic gloveman. Can't see him displacing Bairstow though, unless they decide to push Johnny up the order. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yeah, TRJ very unlucky with the injury there. Malan isn't too bad - probably did enough to warrant being the man with the position to lose first of all. For me I am flummoxed by Vince. Our number 3 options are frankly dire. Ballance as an alternative to Malan at 5 I'm fine with, but I'm not optimistic we'll end our 50/2 type starts in any of the tests this year. Though Stoneman at least has enjoyed good form since the Windies series. Bowling wise really unsure about Mason Crane - not sure what he has done really. Just going as a back up. May as well have picked Leach and then have Crane actually playing games with the Lions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is there an argument to be made, to get Root to bat at 3? He's normally coming in pretty early in an innings anyway, so bat him at 3, then let number 4 become a problem instead! Well either that, or just bat Moeen at 4. I'm sure he could do it.

lapal_fan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'd rather take Cecil "the kiddie fiddler" Mudfel, the sketchy caretaker from Handsworth than Ballance. Is he Roots rent boy or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
