A lead of just 19. The top order really do have to perform for once if we are to have a chance of winning.

Other facts to consider - they scored 8 sixes compared to our zero and their score was achieved in 30 less overs.

Great, Sibley gone for a duck! 4/1. Lead by 23. This just gets worse.....

Davies and Yates both playing shots as well. You would be surprised if this ends well for either of them

Yates looks like he wants a boundary every ball and Davies has come in swinging as well.

It will either get the scoreboard moving or we will soon be 22/3

Absolute garbage so far.

The game could be over tonight at this rate!

Are we trying to get a day off and make a mess of this when we should just simply try and occupy the crease for a day which will probably see us win.

Another "Wonderful" innings from Yates.

IT would be interesting to know why Robinson/Farbrace continue to select a play whos performances so seriously damage teh teams position.

Makes a change for Davies to still be there with three wickets down I suppose...

Spineless

17/3. Pathetic. Sibley, Yates and Hain all gone for very little. Absolute shambles. Division 2 beckons.....

3 down inside 4 overs !!!!

How much worse can this get! I hate to say it, but I think we not only deserve to be relegated but it might actually be a good thing to do so in order to rebuild a team that looks to be currently totally devoid of confidence and inspiration. How can things have got so bad so quickly - this time last year we were County Champs, now we're County Chumps...

Imagine what Abbas, Barker & Abbott are going to do to us next week?

We may as well try and go for anything short, wide or overpitched now and see where we end up. Only a win will do us and playing as we have done is not getting us there.

We have no composure at all.

Thing is, we haven't really got many other options for opening batsmen. At least with Yates, we know he's got the ability. I'm not sure what's happened to him this season but the coaches presumably have to take some responsibility.

Next season is a concern whatever division we're in as we're losing our only proven opener. We're going to have to sign an opening batsman and opening bowler at the very least.

At least we're not scoring slowly, I suppose...

Better this way than a nail biting finish on the last game I suppose.

Doesn't feel as bad!

Yadav should be facing a charge for serious dissent.

36/4, Rhodes gone cheaply for 5. This is abysmal against the bottom team in the Division. They'll get their first win of the season.......now 36/5! Yadav gone for zero. The team is just swinging the bat....why?? Just no need.

5 down - but the caught behind looked very suspect.
