Here's Tony's last 8 deliveries.
Dot dot 1 dot 1 dot dot 1.
You can blame Gwandu, Bennett, Taylor or whoever. You can blame Williams and Curran for soft dismisals. This shit sport unfortunately is a blame game. You can even blame Raza and Tony jointly for letting it get to 90 off 60. But its a team sport and you sink or swim together.
But...when you're well in on a decent pitch and seeing it and youre a specialist batsman and a "finisher" this is not a good look.
I blame the green label gulping, stadium building, nasty people in VIP in charge of millions who know more about nuclear fission than they do about cricket.
I think what separates players you want in your side from those you don't is that the good guys, regardless of how they did (especially in a losing cause) will introspect and blame themselves and think- if only I did a bit more and a bit of this and that I could have won the game for my team. They look to improve and take full responsibility. The rest blame others and thank Jesus they did enuf with their 23 to get picked for the next 18 months.
