Our bowling may be subpar, but the problem really lies with the batting.
Our guys are struggling to get in, and once in, they then get out either to a cracker delivery, or a lapse of concentration.
The batting line-up has been inconsistent for some time now, and has been generally saved by one mediocre score. Our bowlers haven't defended a "par" score for so long.
Having said that, I am of the opinion that since McGrath left the side, we haven't bowled well to tail enders. McGrath made an art form of bowling that persistent line and length that tail enders had no end of difficulty playing, now it's all about chin music and intimidation.
