A stern word from the skipper and it's full astern again!

 

[Frank Butcher]

Set up is wrong. Rotation policy is wrong. Mistakes in team selection especially in the bowling department. On field captaincy has been lacking, basic ability to bat in the 5 day game is missing and fielding has been pretty poor.

Apart from that it hasn’t been very good.

We just have not good any decent openers. Hell of a difficult job against that attack but if somebody could hang around for a while would take the pressure off the rest of the batting. Must be a Tavare out there somewhere.
