Poor performance there . Don't know whether the result would have been different had you simulated the match with the right bowling lineup given by me.
Pretty disappointing performance. Wish I was called into the ODI squad considering the fact I kind of made a difference with the Gladiators in a few matches.
4 off our top 6 batsman were dismissed for single figure scores which made it the defeat inevitable undoing the good work of Ahmad. Rest of the players did try to hang in there but we ended up putting a far below par total. Bowling was right on the money but they didn't have much to defend. The third spinner would have been handy on this track but it wouldn't have changed the result I feel.
Poor pitch so batting had to be bad but not so much as it was. We needed to score about 200 runs. It then became impossible for the bowlers to defend the total.
Kristian Lee is said to be unsure about his stint with Kent. "I think the national team's needs are greater," he said to reporters today, "but it's sorted with Kent. They pay me nothing, and it's all square with them. I'm grateful for the response I received from PlanetCricket. However, after that display I think that our batsmen could use as much practice as they can get.
Also, I would be interested in exploring opportunities overseas in the future, but at the moment I think it's best I return to the United camp and work with the guys.
Actually, the problem was more that I wouldn't feel comfortable sticking it on my stats. Especially seeing as I was using Kevin Stoute, who I thought was a mediocre bowler, and who promptly claimed 4 for 14, 2 for 18 and 4 for 14 again.

Toss: We'll bat first if we win.
Bowling order: Jack Ryder and Andrin Issac to open the bowling, Alex O'Riordan - first change, VC Andrews - second change, Anish Peter - third change and Pulikutti - fourth change. We'd like to use Sami Khan as a part-time bowler if one of the pacers or Alex O'Riordan are expensive. Otherwise, don't bring him on to bowl .
