And there we go
This is so unprofessional from us.
Sorry but Thompson should not be playing for us in this competition based on what I have consistently seen of him historically

Another awful shot there, this time from Yates. It is a poor wide ball, why chase after it?
Think it was fair enough to play it at, a poor wide ball as you say, just poorly executed shot.
Depends if they had a fielder at fine leg, if so no need to go after it, just take the free run for the wide!
When it’s all going wrong, it just needs a daft run out!
This performance is getting worse!
I cant remember us batting so poorly & recklessly
Vaansh looks like he's got a bit of poke, fair play to him, but he's run Woakesy out there im afraid.
Game over
7 out of the 8 wickets thus far have fallen to the quicker, hit the deck, into the pitch style quicker bowlers de Lange, Miles, Jansen.
The Gleeson type bowlers.
Says a lot about our batting depth that OHD is in at 10!
Yeah Tariq looked a pure comedy man with the bat!
Total Shite or am I being too generous.
That was embarrassing, bowled out with 32 balls still left in the innings. They should have paced the first 10 overs without trying to smash every other ball to the boundary - what were they thinking?
They still haven't learnt from previous years. Completely reckless. Why try and smash virtually every ball out of the stadium!!?
Is there some sort of mentality or maybe a 'Tornado Like' rush of blood to the head that makes batsmen with a seemingly straightforward task, suddenly think they need to get to the target as soon as they can. After a game like this, do they actually look at each other and say, "What did we do that for when it wasn't necessary". We have seen it before, for instance last year v Sussex in the 50-over game, yes, a lot closer than this but the same sort of situation where hard work is done and all that is needed are a few clear heads to make sure the game is done.
I can understand throwing the bat a bit in the powerplay, trying to get a fast start while the field is up, but as soon as we lost a couple of wickets we needed to rein it in. Should be easy enough to score 5-6 an over outside the powerplay with little risk.
It’ll take something special to get our NRR back up after that.
