Just give them the 3 points and be done with it. Defensive mindset. We go into these games to survive, not to flourish. I get it we’ve got players out but even with a full team we’d do the same. Not getting carried away, we’ve done well but we are no where near top 6 quality and now it’s showing.
Right, the Preston game is behind it. We need to turn that into a positive by learning the lessons of it and pump Maidstone. Getting through to the QF would lift the club again going into what I now think is a must win at West Brom.
Typical England. Did the hard work and threw it away with a truly shit 2nd innings batting. If that was the other way around, India would have a 350+ lead.
So frustrating
Whilst these results can come along as it did you refer to, were different. We are giving soft goals away but generally, there’s a steel about us. We can lose to Preston on Friday but it will be the odd goal, not a 0-4 IMO
This is so typical of us though isn’t it. It’s rare we can get 100 on the board without losing a wicket and there’s usually a collapse in there at some point.
we see glimpses of how good we can be as well.
