Read what you just wrote. Thing is - that assessment is really not harsh, when ‘based on his matches for Sussex’. And that IS exactly what it is based on. I don’t care how he did in the past, for another club.
If we progress, and we’re allowed to have our other contracted players back, I can’t...
Bopara is pointless. He plods along with the bat, wasting overs (14 from 20 tonight, with no boundaries) and the opposition happily milk his bowling for 8 an over without needing to take any risks.
I’d rather we play someone genuinely good at one thing, rather than dull and average at both.
