Durham County Cricket Club

[Aidan11]

We are a bit samey with the attack currently

I can see the reasoning doing this in early season conditions but we are missing that one bowler tgat can get a breakthrough when the likes of Raine and Potts have got through 20 odd overs in a day

coffers is a steady lad but he is but a real threat

It doesn't help that we've got a few bowler out injured plus Minto who is out due to bereavement.

We signed that Conners lad and he lasted 2.2 overs in the uni game before limping off.

Late Cuts

What follows, which explores some of the charms, the quirks and the peculiar allure of cricket from a variety of perspectives, is not intended as a memorial for long-lost sepia days. The game is still alive. Whether it turns out to be therapy for me or entertainment for you remains to be seen...

Excellent but I’m now tempted to have a look in there

the Mrs is tutting

another book I got from there is called The Traitor of Colditz by Robert Verkaik

true story on britains double agent who helped save hundreds whilst pretending to be favourable to the Germans

I’m off now but let’s hope we have a great day tomorrow for Durham

cheered me up no end reading this thread again despite the game not going as we want

I just don't understand why Parky isn't getting picked. He's bowled well against the students. An experienced specialist like him would have come in very useful here.

I heard from a reliable source that Parky has signed a five game deal with a team in the Bolton Cricket League. Definitely something gone on behind the scenes.

@The Red Telephone or anyone else

I’ve been reading there is a book shop in the media centre at CLS

is it any good ? I do like a rummage in a book shop

Pretty much a continuation of the old CC Books from six years ago. They've been doing a good trade since the first day of the Warwickshire game. Most books are a couple of quid each and one of the ladies was telling me some bloke is giving them 200 cricket books. Quite a few non cricket sports books as well and loads of fiction.

Get yourself in next time you're down.

Yeah very odd that. I wonder if Campbell is trying to make Drissell a first team regular. Parky must be getting a decent wage to just to sit out the season.

Rather inevitably it looks like Coggs has joined that list as well.

 

[The Red Telephone]

I use world of books now to buy stuff and I’m going to trade some back shortly to turn

Always get some bargains from WOB. Quite a few Mint condition Wisdens for £5 each not so long ago.

 

[The Red Telephone]

just bought Vic Marks Late Cuts, musings on cricket

Excellent book.

I bought a couple of books from the Bookstore on Monday one of which was 'Wasted?' - the autobiography of ex Warwickshire all rounder Paul Smith (from Newcastle). Very interesting.

Scott Borthwick making his debut for Hartlepool CC today.

Excellent. I may make some donations as well. Have to get rid of a few books

cheers

And they are all out for 307

Raine mopped up the last two

Raine got the 9th but Potts got your mate in the end.

Cheers. I misread Cricinfo . Useless

the game is now on though. We have to get a lead on first innings

I’m looking at Gay getting some runs today or tomorrow

Let's hope Robbo finally finds some form too.

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m off as the grandkids are on messenger. One is bloody drunk

speak again later hopefully when Durham are about 280 for 4

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

McKinney nicks to slip…

 

[Aidan11]

We could have done without that.

 

[brandon]

Went as well as can be expected at the start of the morning in getting their last two out without too much damage being done.

Looks horrendous for batting though, huge 40 minutes or so coming up before lunch. Need to not lose any more wickets.

 

[Aidan11]

Just the one down at lunch thankfully.
