We turned the bowling around and at least Gandalf eventually worked out that he could let the opposition batsmen throw one or two wickets away chasing filth from Coughlin for an over or two, but didn't bowl him out and let him concede 50odd runs every match. Potts has had his second consecutive good year in this format, Steel and Trevaskis have been pretty competent. Carse pulled himself together after being screwed up in England's tender care. Gandalf himself had his worst year with the ball for us, so I don't expect to see him return next year. Step up Capt Bangers in 2021, and back him up with a Tahir signing or someone of his ilk
Batting wise we have a top 3, but not much else. If they come off, we are in the game, but if they don't, we struggle. Add Bangers to that top 3 and we could become a more formidable batting unit next year. Steel did well opening last year, so it seems odd that after 2 poor matches we dropped him all the way down the order to 8 behind Coughlin and Carse. Felt like a bit of overkill. I can't help think we might have got a bit more out of him at 4 rather than having Bedders and Behardien scratching around for not very many.
Still..... not the disaster I was bracing myself for after the first 4 matches

Years ago I was saying how T20 looked like the easiest game in the world when Phil was batting, and the hardest game in the world when he got out.
