Even worse they've run out of ale at the bar.

Won't this be down to that Mendoza chappie? Got the fright of my life at the Worcs game seeing him behind the bar at the Cromwell Road end.

207ao. Well done boys, your 50 over crash bang wallop run rate has guaranteed you all a wonderful days golf tomorrow.
In all seriousness this match underlined what we saw in the previous match:
1. We're extremely light on batting.
2. Some of our batsmen can only play in one-day mode, regardless of whether they have 2 hours or 2 days to knock off their runs.
In fact the batting averages are staggering. After 4 matches we have Nash on 16.83, Yardy 16.75, Cachopa 14.12 - that's 18 innings, no 100s, 1 50.
Compare that to the bowlers' batting averages - Shahzad 27.50, Robinson 47.00, Hobden 20.00 - 20 innings, 1 100, 1 50.
It'll be a relegation scrap in the 4-day game. As for the 50-over game we've been drawn in the tougher Group B of the Royal London One-day Cup so that looks a big ask too.

Same problem as last season, we have no problem taking 20 wickets, but our batsmen are not doing enough. If Joyce fails we fail.
Should have signed a decent batsman in the winter, yet we are looking at yet another spinner at the moment.

Luke Wells scored a ton for the 2nds today, worth another try back in 1st XI?
When's Matt Prior back?

Surely anybody will be an improvement on Cachopa.
