the only way we are looking likely is one of these skiers

It's a real worry when you're relying on the batsmen making silly mistakes to get wickets. I always believe a team is bowling well when they are getting bowleds and lbws. When you're relying on caught in the outfields and to a lesser extent caught behinds (except in the slips) then it normally means they are cheap wickets because the batsman is swinging wildly or swatting at the ball with cross batted shots etc.

Bowling is our Achilles really just wonder if losing Heath would have anything to do with it...what do you guys make of Douggy's impact...
