Commentators are awful.

I rather like them

[Harpenden Fox]

We’ve been behind since the very first ball of this game I’m afraid. Poor bowling, fielding and batting. Apart from that all good.

[SemperEadem]

Rae never did the t20 stuff did he?

But yeah night and day here. One is a cricket guy, the other two for no fault of their own are not and are sports journos for the local radio. Rafferty a good foil for Owynn and Piper on the football.

Provided the cake selection in The Meet is up to scratch, the result is largely irrelevant.

Some of these shots

Jesus Christ these shots

 

 

 

 

 

Not even having a swing with 6 in the shed

We absolutely love serving up shit to a big home crowd 

[James and his giant peach]

So basically we had one good season and now have resorted back to being totally shite again like we have been for the last 20 odd years. Clearly should have batted first, bowled and fielded poorly then took 100 singles like it's a 50 over game, brainless and terrible start to the season. 

[Officer Doofy]

1 boundary on 22 balls before those last two 4s

 

 

Horrific

We do have a bad habit of that don’t we.

Just called the umpire a referee didn't he

Try to scoop it again

Commentators as embarrassing as the performance. Every time there was a catch they got the player wrong who caught it. When Worcester were 170-7 said they are nailed on for 200, what with their tail nailed on to score ten an over? Total buffoons.

Very good though. Got written twice on here by the same poster so it must be true.

[James and his giant peach]

Shocking. Lost both home championship games badly, bowled out for 60 and now lost first home game in t20 against one of the weakest sides. Going to be a long long season. Hull, Mike and Trevaskis way too expensive, where is Alex Green? That power play of ours lost us the game and was a shambles.

Oh dear is Nick Kelly the new Hamish Rutherford?

Harsh appraisal. We've improved incrementally in the Championship in recent years, won a 50-over trophy three years ago and go up and down in T20.

 

It's a disappointing season so far but it can be recovered if we start learning from our mistakes.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Poor bowling particularly from Hull and a terrible batting power play ultimately cost us, you don’t finish a chase only 4 down and lose comfortably, that’s an appalling run chase. 
However it’s a long competition and we can bounce back next game.

Ok yes we have won the odd one day trophy and done ok in the t20 from time to time, but the start to this season has been shocking. There's no excuses either, Glamorgan are flying and they came up behind us. Can't help but think Alex Green should be our Stuart Broad and playing at least in this format, and please when we win the toss, stop trying to be Ben Stokes and bowling fiest. It was sunny hot and a decent track so get the runs on the board. We bowled first v Notts and they got nearly 500, we bowled first v Surrey and the same outcome. Looking like a long season.

Well him and Cox comfortably finish the job if the top order had come out not thinking it was a 4 day game. Absolutely shocking power play. You can usually rely on those top 3 to hit a few boundaries, but they literally wasted the first 7 overs and we couldn't recover. Kelly wasted his first ten or so balls too. 

[RonnieTodger]

Good crowd there tonight, shame about the output. Felt like we’d lose after their first over to be honest.

 

Got to go out swinging at the very least. 
 

Worcestershire bowled very well to their credit.

No because Rutherford did **** all, that's a decent innings by Kelly, he needed to kick on at the end but it was obvious Cox needed to go harder and let Kelly keep it steady in case we lost quick wickets

Cox and Kelly tried hard to make a silk purse out of the sows ear that they were presented with by previous batters and bowlers alike. A very disappointing evening all round.

Sadly I feel like the either win every game or everyone is shit outlook is moving over from football fans to cricket fans. 

 

Personally I feel like the club is still moving in the right direction. All tonight needed was one of the 3 openers to score some runs in the power play and we were in business. Silly decision to bowl though!

A really bizarre batting performance. 
 

Played at 50 over pace for most of it. Ran singles when it could’ve been 2s. 
 

Strabge decision to bowl also.
