Umpires have cost us the game with some really **** calls. Should have had at least 3 or 4 extra runs and balls that weren't called. ****s.

I wasn't a million miles off from saying they had 15 too many for us.

Nothing to do with what par was. Purely to do with our limited batting resources.
 
That is quite a comeback, I am amazed we won that. So brave by Lewis Gregory to bowl the last over after being carted around, but he did the job.

27 lucky runs from 31 balls in the finisher's position in the team...nowhere near good enough.

Northeast chews up balls, but at least he has history of being able to go big later on if he's still in.

Trying to finish an innings with Lewis and Weatherley, when our tail starts at 8, isn't going to win many matches. Banton could have dispensed of his gloves and bowled those last few overs.

Harsh on the kid maybe, but he probably needs to be the one to drop out. If we're going to bat CDG at no.4 - and today suggests that's a good idea - then we need to push Weatherley up the order rather than down. He's scored enough t20 runs for us in the past 12 months to deserve to keep his place (for now), but not as a finisher.

I still hate Benkenstein for sacking off Wheater and leaving us with only Lewis and Alsop.
 
The series is won. We're at his home ground. There's a t20 WC coming up where spinners could be very important. And still Dawson is carrying the drinks.
