Think we expected Stoke to come for a draw

I can't but help with the team selection that Parker thought we would be playing against a team happy to sit back and play for the draw.

Stoke took the game to us well and were 1st to every 2nd and 3rd ball.

Not sure why we left it so late to make changes. It was clear that Stoke were just growing in confidence as the afternoon went in.

Miserable afternoon. - Lets hope we see a significant improvement for the next game.
