Commentator absolutely spot on.
Carson and Ibrahim exercising a degree of control. Haines takes them off before they bowl all their allocated overs and Taylor takes advantage.
Now Carson and Ibrahim resume having lost their rhythm.
It is wrong to single out individual players, but like Clark, Crocombe needs taking out the firing line.
I know Karvelas and Currie haven't performed to the same level as in last season's competition, but if fit they should be playing.

Kirtley should be sacked as bowling coach.

2 for the price of 1 for Crocombe.

Happier Crocombe has picked up a couple, looking horribly like a rerun of the Durham game though.

I was watching and thought exactly this, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Flip all point in worrying about what will happen later on in the game, whoever is bowling at the end will go for a few, keep it tight, pick up wickets.

Who is our running between the wickets coach, Mike Yardy?

Not sure why I have packed my sandwiches ready to go, we are going to get thrashed today aren’t we! My optimism was entirely misplaced. Barring something quite incredible your original prediction was completely accurate. Another completely inept performance in all departments. I genuinely feel for Farbrace, there is a limit to the number of times you can shuffle the pack.

I’m sorry, I don’t buy this Pujara hero worship, as he protects his wicket everyone else has to take chances, he is the senior pro, we don’t have time for him to play himself in, he needs to push on, now.

There was so much optimism before the start of this competition, but we have been thoroughly outplayed in all but one match. Even then, we were far from convincing. The real worry now is whether we will carry this over into our remaining Championship matches.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on cricket but from a mindset point of view to me it feels like we have had the stuffing knocked out of us

Just to add I completely blame Pujara for Coles getting out, he forces everyone else to throw the bat at everything, and I realise most of you won’t agree with me but there you are!

Haines and Alsop got no runs, HP bowled poorly (played a lot of cricket recently and I am concerned that he could get injured with no obvious like to like replacement) and Pujara scoring too slowly. We may as well have played Carter, Currie, Foreman and lion-catchet. Would the margin of defeat been any worse?

Maybe Coverpoint is right. If we’re going to get thrashed whoever we put in the lineup, it might as well be our second team which is then slightly less embarrassing.

Pujara walked off to silence pretty well, perhaps I’m not alone in my thinking
