Things have gone downhill over here. After being top with 2 wins from 2, we are now well down the ladder into fifth having lost four in a row. All of them have been bad losses as well.
I haven't taken a wicket in two weeks- last week the other Brit dropped an absolute dolly, bloke then went on to get 50 and take the game away from us with some horrible smears, yesterday I only got 3 overs because we had another shocker with the bat and only scored 108. We have collapsed badly each of the last four weeks- yesterday I got 5 from 23 trying to rebuild and make things tough before nicking to slip from a non spinning off spinner.
I feel good with the bat in the nets, and the ball is coming out well all the time when im bowling, however in matches I keep finding ways to get out just as I get settled. So far I have sliced a drive to cover, nicked behind to the keeper, nicked to slip, picked out square leg to perfection with a nailed pull and dragged on a slower ball beamer. I feel like runs are just around the corner, hopefully next weekend!
The new B3 has already split in the toe and up the face, and as far as I have found the middle isn't particularly responsive. Maybe I just need to be patient and let it open up a bit, but shots that I would expect to be boundaries from the connection are stopping well short, even when hitting square (the straight boundaries are big because we are playing hard wicket on Aussie Rules ovals every week). If it doesn't open up I will be really disappointed. I'm going to get a team mate to try it to see what they think in the nets.
