Tom Lord is SO much better than his Pinch Hitter style suggests. He needs to get his head down, keep it down and help to build a foundation for the middle and late order. I would also say that Mully has been the victim of some appalling decisions this and last season….sometimes think that he’s too nice but then again, I think he’s a good sportsman 🏏🏏
Just a query, was D Bennett caught or was he bowled? The scorecard also says he was caught but the ball seemed to dislodge the bail thus he was bowled.
You are absolutely correct. In slo-mo you can see the bail come off. I simply read what was in the scorebook. Sometimes of course the scorers get details wrong. Well spotted!
The camera angle at times was 'selective', especially when hi was bowling. To be honest, the league should report him, because its dangerous. He only chucks his bouncer, which is about four times as fast as the deliveries he actually bowls without straightening his arm.
Not as yet but tomorrow's game against Ramsbottom could be significant. They are bottom of the league and have a very good record against us. In the bar at Burnley last Sunday, one of their supporters said one or two more defeats and Clitheroe can kiss goodbye to winning the league.
That pitch is flat out dangerous. The opening bowler in the first innings should wind his head in with that attitude, its all the pitch doing the work not him per se.
Good synopsis at the end there Keith. Big question marks over the overseas pro for Clitheroe. Those lollypop offspinners he bowled towards the end werent useful. You need your pro to lead the way in tight games and he lacks presence. Better off with an Australian in my opinion.
