We are shit. Didn’t have many out of the 1’s, only Rackebrandt.. plenty out in lower grades.. against the Smithfield bowling attack we should’ve scored 200+ we were 2/61 at one point.
Credit to Smithies though they fought back well, spinners sucked in our idiots, and their young players fielded very well.. then Lordy & Zac made light work of our small total without much risk.
Reality is, whilst I don’t like making excuses, the wheels have really fallen off since the Don Pearce fiasco in round 2 - the impact from that situation has had a significant impact. Not only did we lose the game by 1 run due to the 10 run penalties, but we lost a top order batsman and one of our best fielders for 3 matches.
We should’ve gone into Xmas 4-2 really, but here we are after Rd 8 with our season shot. Challenge now is to keep the side focussed for the last 6 rounds and not embarrass ourselves.
