Scoreboard pressure will be absolutely massive here. Not sure if we've ever chased down so many.

 

Given Yorks had lost 3 of 3 before today, surely you bat first and pile the pressure on them?

Surely given how the pitch is aswell seeing as it looks a flat track. Lost this when he put them in to bat.

Are we using rubber bats or something, poor effort this

[Guest Manini]

Bit embarrassing now really 

[matty2702]

This is appalling 😂 

 

have the boundaries doubled in size since the change of innings or what!?

Is it just his decision? Imagine they agree a plan ahead of the toss.

[James and his giant peach]

Absolutely shocking today. Kimber putting them in, Bowling was largely shite and now the batting even worse. This would be a poor start in a 50 over game let alone a t20 chasing over 200. Rehan makes such a difference with bat and ball and they need to rethink the top order batting in this because Mahsood budinger and Patel hardly get any runs at all.

They'd lost all 3 we had only lost 1 so I suppose it was bound to happen 😂😂 big wake up call though as could have easily lost to Durham the other night.

And who is this old woman on the commentary she's giving me the right hump 

[Guest Lako42]

This is pure dirt

 

 

Not been fully convinced by us in the T20 despite results 

[Sunbury Fox]

Are we playing on a different pitch to them?

[Blueman1967]

We are struggling on this, put it down to a bad day at the office

I know what you mean. The captaincy has been iffy and our bowling attack has been very much second string with the absentees. The batsmen have been shocking today. At least Richard Rae will be happy today.

not just a bad day at the office this is the Foxes as poor as they have been in years, totally off the pace here

Our bowling was too inaccurate, that’s where we lost it. Our batting is basically amateur 

[Plastik Man]

Even the scorer on the stream has given up!

Ha! Noticed that. Can't watch any more of this. 

[Blueman1967]

It going to be a heavy defeat 

[katieakita]

poor but hard to understand how that is not called wide, well outside the blue lines not that an extra run will make much difference

[Walshy5]

Terrible T20 side. Even the 2 home wins we had we made harder work of it than we needed to. Oh and I take it back again. Kimber is a terrible captain!

[katieakita]

All our disciplines off today but if you have players not picked for batting they have to be bowling 4 overs and be good in the field. Whats up with Rehan, Hull, Holland and Mike Injured?

[Guest Lako42]

Kimber is not a captain, stupid experiment.

Rehan in the England T20 squad (but not being used), Hull called up by England Lions (and now injured), Holland playing in the US T20 competition, and Mike injured.

Headingly yeah is big and that but it is soulless.

[Lionator]

The batting is simply not deep enough in this format. Shan is also not Handscomb. 
 

Then take away our best two white ball bowlers in Rehan and Hull, it’s very very difficult. 
 

The fact we’re on 3 wins out of 5 is still very decent with the latter two still to come back. We’re sadly relying on one of Kimber or Budinger to go big each game and neither are consistently good enough for that.
