Or Ryan Butterworth at a pinch.

Geez, if only we had been able to see off those early overs. Imagine if Burl and Raza were batting 4/180 instead of 4/80. Beautiful shot

The worst part about this, after this match Williams and Ervine could well say we've given all we can give, to hell with it.

Argh we're choking. This is heartbreaking.
