When freddie was getting runs, and the bowlers wickets.

Restricting what we needed.

Which i suppose is the point now.
We ain't gonna get much, so hopefully 5 bowlers will stop them getting much.

OG is right, its the wicket keeper that's the problem.

Get an Alex stewart style keeper and all is good.

Failing that just keep changing them every series,they all seem to get runs to start with before fading away.
