So Finn tows the line, the project is good.
What do you expect a man to say who gets £100K a year in his 1st season? The whole thing stinks, it won't work?
Of course he's going to say 'all is good'. He has to be a YES man to keep his job. Who else would sign him?
The problem as I see it is, not enough (any) seasoned pros to help & guide these young men.
Back in the day, a young pro had Adams, Kirtly Goodwin, etc to help & keep them in line and learn
the way.
Now they have no one. Salisbury has got rid of players who could have moulded them to be decent pros.
Most can't play 4 day cricket. They haven't learnt to bat or bowl in 3 day 2nd team cricket.
I should think the Tom Clark batted the longest time in his career against Notts.
He's played more 1st team games than 2nd. How does he learn?
Lenham, serious injury to his back, surely has to change his action if he wants to stay fit, dropped in to a 1st team game.
My comments echo Clark, NO background in bowling long spells or being restrictive with runs. Nothing to draw on if it goes wrong or is hard.
Totally different from T20.
This 4 day squad lack leadership and player management within the group.
Until they get that and experience in the longer game they will struggle.
