I'm afraid Jez's decent improvement has had to be sacrificed for the time being with 3 victories since Gaz's return.
You've got to find a way to balance long term thinking with short term success though. It's great winning games here and now, but then what? Gaz retires again and we are back to square one?
Fwiw I think the difference Ellis has made has been fairly minimal. Yes it's good to have him back to give a bit of leadership, and he can still hit with the best of them. But his importance has been overstated imo, it has been very much a cameo role for him. I'm fairly confident we would have won these games without him. We just needed a little bit of confidence.
If there is one player you can point to and say he has made a world of difference since he returned, it's Westerman.
