The Old Trafford rain has let us down again by staying away. Kent just about to win. Lancs must do something about their batting. You can see us not winning any game this season.
 
All round weakness suggests poor coaching. I don’t know who they are now, but they need to get a grip.
Weak bowling line-up? Lyon, Hartley, Williams, Bailey plus Balderson as an all rounder.

The bowling isn't the problem, the batting has been very poor when it has counted.

What are your thoughts on Balderson batting at 4? I don't like the idea of him bowling 20 overs and then getting his pads on right away. Surely he should be battling at 6, and having a shower and a bit of rest before getting ready to bat.
 
Tom Hartley has 62 first class wickets. He should be nowhere near the test side, but it shows how bare we are for spinners.

Williams and Bailey are decent enough line and length bowlers, but don’t consistently win games.

3-4 games left of Lyon.

They’ve not had much to bowl with, but they’re not ripping through teams either.
