Head coach Matthew Maynard is looking for a major reaction from his players in the final game against Surrey at The Oval, following a 10-wicket defeat to Gloucestershire in the LV= Insurance County Championship.
The Welsh county picked up just five points in the match and have lost all three of their Division Two fixtures but have the chance to finish the season on a high next week in London.
“Our bowlers got deep into their overs, but Gloucestershire batted very well. They had a career best from their No 9 (Tom Price) and their last two also batted well to get them well over 100 run for the last two wickets and we couldn’t seem to prise them out,” said Maynard.
“We were a bit too cautious against their spinners when we batted again. We have had games this season where we have lot wickets in clusters in poor sessions and that has cost us the game.
“Obviously, the way in which the last few results have gone, and this defeat, doesn’t help. I have never known such a topsy-turvey season in terms of our performances.
“People always remember the back end of a season, but I don’t think it is a true reflection of the whole campaign. But now we have an obligation to the supporters, the club and the players themselves to try to turn things around at The Oval.”
