I think the killer was not quite getting enough runs

And then two crucial overs (first when they were on 70 ish) and then of course the big one later on, meant we never quite killed them off when they were under pressure.

Sometimes though, you have to hold your hands up and acknowledge some impressive hitting. Neesham was spectacular - the bowling wasn't great, but then again a lot of that is down to the pressure the batsmen put on the bowlers.

I used to bowl very consistent line and length, like a metronome, I'd struggle having to deal with the uncertainty that modern batsmen put in a bowlers head! Very hard to get a good bowling rhythm going.
