Worcs paying the price for starting too aggressively. Sure, a run rate of near 6.5 is nice after 10 overs but you don't really want to be 2 down as well. Makes you vulnerable.

Brett DO was playing so frenetically, you'd never know they were playing a 50 over match with a long tail.
 
Not only could we win, we could win by a big margin. That would improve our NRR significantly and put a huge dent in their rather good NRR.
 
You'd like to think we can chase that. But Leach has given them something to bowl out and, like them, our batting isn't overly impressive.
 
NRR goes from 0.132 to 0.429.

A washout on Friday in Bristol followed by a win at Kent would leave us nicely positioned on 8 points, with a possible winner-takes-all match vs Durham to finish.
 
That's how you treat this Fire attack. Respect Ahmad, but look to attack the rest.

I do get the feeling that this could be the start of Oval getting on a roll. They're still the team I fear the most, Ingram aside.

And now Ingram has got going...
