No chance of a declaration. They've got their foot on our jugular, they won't take it off. They'll grind us right into the ground. They're clinical, they don't let teams back into the match like we consistently do.
Boland has faced 50 balls. Barring Root and Crawley no one else faced that many from ours.
That tells you all you need to know. No backbone, no willingness to bat time, no fight, no intelligence. Just a pathetic reckless attitude with the bat.
