We didn’t get any partnerships going at all in the innings - Maynard

17 Jun 2021 | Cricket

Head coach Matt Maynard admitted that some players were 'hurting' following his side's loss to Kent Spitfires in the Vitality Blast.

The Welsh county fell to a 40-run defeat after stumbling to 104 all out chasing a target of 145, and now have an overall record of one win and three losses in the competition so far. 

“We didn’t get any partnerships going at all in the innings," said Maynard. "You get that sometimes in Twenty20 cricket. It was a slow start trying to momentum back but it never happened.

"It was a difficult wicket to bat on – both teams found that.

"Some players in there are hurting because they know they have let themselves down tonight. You have to play on instinct in T20 cricket and that instinct was maybe a little bit off today.

"Maybe we didn’t commit to our strokes, but I thought Milnes bowled brilliantly and he took a good caught and bowled to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne who has been in great form for us. We can’t just rely on Marnus and Nick Selman, the other batsman are in the team to score runs too.”
