It's going to be a long day in the field again.

It’s staggering how many similarities there are to last week.

Declaration bowling from Hogg.

Christ almighty, declaration bowling was being generous.

 

[Aidan11]

FFS Hogg man they'll smash those all day.

 

[Aidan11]

Haha. Ironically he gets a wicket.

 

[brandon]

Hogg bowls the third rank long-hop of the over and Davies belts it to Gay at short extra cover.

57-1.

 

[Aidan11]

Now that was a great ball.

 

[brandon]

Why are they walking off for lunch at 12:59? Should’ve got another over in there. Can’t remember the amount of times they’ve insisted on one extra when we’ve been batting

 

[brandon]

Hain dropped on 9 at second slip of Doggett. It was a regulation chance. Both of their not out batsmen shouldn’t be there anymore. 80-2.

Raine gets Yates
98/3

150/5
Haway Durham !

 

[The Red Telephone]

157/6 Barnard departs

 

[Aidan11]

Excellent. I've been out for an hour when we were 3 down.

Important thing now is not to let the tail wag.

A pretty long tail for them. No doubt Kai Smith in his second FC scores a swashbuckling century!

Look a talented young batsman in the One Day stuff last season.

Well he's already half bloody way

Great minds etc etc.

 

[Aidan11]

Bloody wagging tail.

 

[Aidan11]

2 late wickets have helped.

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Not entirely sure why Potts expends all that energy and bowls unhittable bouncers. Loads today.

Doggett has an incredibly smooth run-up and a barely perceptible delivery stride. In traditional CCC April weather he will be very dangerous.

If we don't waste the new(ish) ball in the morning and get a lead of 80ish, the game is there for the winning.

For context, this bloke is one of the umpires in this game…
