A really entertaining knock from Samit, which hopefully has turned the game in our favour. The tail showed the middle order how it should be done, and watching the morning session tomorrow will pass a couple of hours before cricket takes a back seat in the afternoon.
To be fair Elite, this has been a problem for a few years know. You look at the side and we have question marks over the whole batting line up. Some of those players have earned good money for failing over a number of years. The squad needs an overhaul. I know we have picked up some players since last season, but they were all risky signings. Hamed looked a prospect half a dozen years ago until he broke his hand, and has struggled since. Trego must be about 50 now.
I just wish we tried a few of the younger Notts Academy lads especially in this shortened season. Instead we sign players who simply are not good enough.

In fact all the above is a bit like supporting Notts (as in the pies) with the exception of this season
