tactical genius

article interviewing the Essex captain after the QF thrashing handed out by Warwickshire this week:


'The One-Day Cup loss came in the same month as their 19-run T20 Blast quarter-final defeat, also against the Bears, but Ten Doeschate believes the aggressive style of cricket the Eagles play is better suited for success.

The Division Two Championship side have reached the quarter-finals of
the T20 domestic competition four times in the last five years, including this term.

"Warwickshire play the old style of cricket where they bat deep and then have a flurry at the end," said the Netherlands international.

"We do not want to be that sort of a team, we want to be more aggressive but obviously with that comes the responsibility of not giving soft wickets away." '


yes, your style is clearly better suited to success.

hopefully dougie will take heed and drop this old style nonsense Warwickshire are persisting with before it is too late and we end up in another final.
