If you compare our team to Lord's teams then you're setting up for failure. That was a one off period, a number of rare events colliding to make an incredibly successful era. It's impossible to plan for that to happen as it did. Honestly I can't see us getting a team as good as Lord's final 3 seasons for a very long time, so much has changed since then.
I of course loved the Andrew Lord era, but one thing I dislike about it is how its effected the mentality of the fan base. How being sitting comfortably in 2nd place at Christmas, 4 points behind the leaders who we have to play 5 more times, and apparently the seasons gone. 8 other teams in the league would bite your hand off to be in this position.
