Well played, the Cidermen.
Agree with SM - they fielded excellently, so that a shot that pierced the fielders in the ring but didn't make it to the boundary was 95% of the time limited to a single.
Yes, our captaincy / brains trust has not shown much evidence of great insight into the finer points and subtleties of their ("alleged") specialist subject.
I suggest that chasing over 10 an over every over is a big ask for even the galactico's of the IPL, so the secret was to ensure that never happened.
We had : international experience of this tournament from Southee, pace and bounce in Finny, left arm over in Franco, leg spin from Sowter, pacy line and length from Toby, nagging medium pace with varieties from Ryan, leg spin from Dawid, and off spin and Bertie Bassetts from Stirlo all available, so someone getting collared does not have to bowl their full 4 overs, yet ..........
Just re-reading the last paragraph really does not make happy reading.
As a welsh bloke said in the bar after his under 14's rugby side were hammered 87 - 5 by Teddington,- do the accent yourselves - "How @#$%& are weeeeeeee?"
