Why do we have such issues with wides
It would indicate lack of control caused by a loose rather than compact action and/or head movement in delivery stride, which is normally down to 3 things:

Fatigue
Poor coaching
Poor discipline

I'd say that it's probably poor or insufficient coaching.

This is a good coaching outfit I think. I've heard good things.

We're getting smashed today. Can feel it in my water.
Aside from a shite first 4 overs the pitch has got easier.

It seemed to swing in Blessing's first over, so he should probably cover the V, and bowl fuller and straighter.

I don't agree. His best weapon is back of a length, 4th stump, or a bit shorter straight at the guy's sternum, particularly if the pitch is holding.
Richie is the swinger.
