Durham County Cricket Club

[brandon]

Disappointing day for Durham, distinctly second best today and perhaps on reflection, shows that yesterday wasn’t so great for us either.

I’ve watched most of it on a delay and have been flicking forward a lot, so can’t really assess it as definitively as yesterday - but it seems like the pitch is very good for batting and we’re about 80-100 runs short of par. Some credit should be given to our lads though, it would’ve been easy to have let it slide and gifted a considerable advantage going into day three, but with the two late strikes and a new ball tomorrow morning the lads have a genuine opportunity to end the first innings with parity.

The first session tomorrow has to be ours.

100 overs today to make up for the 4 lost yesterday.

There appears to be no sprinkler issues.

Breakthrough

Farhed c Gay b Potts 17

327 for 6. Still behind by 51

eleswhere Banton made 371 and out

 

[mackembhoy]

Not been able to see much of our bowling effort.

How have we fared?

See Drissell been economic but is it the same as Parky and not threatening?

Pitch is flat but they are plugging away

always the third innings in the game will decide how it will end

 

[Aidan11]

Pity Minto wasn't playing in this match.

 

[SuperSub]

Our bowling is still a concern, it's very one paced and offering no threat at all. Hoping Doggett comes in and makes a difference next week, cos if not we will struggle to pick up 20 wickets on a regular basis

 

[Aidan11]

Notts only 6 runs behind now.

50 partnership for this stand.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Well I think we can rule out any chance of a Durham win after this morning's session.

 

[SuperSub]

Not been impressed with Rhodes with the ball, every delivery is short and wide. He does look a bowling downgrade to De Leede in that all-rounder role, but a better batsman.

 

[Durham Fan]

Garbage this.

 

[Aidan11]

Finally another wicket.

 

[Aidan11]

One brings two.

Potts on a hat-trick

 

[Aidan11]

Still tough going for us. Hopefully we don't have a shocker in the third innings and dig in for a draw.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Josh Tongue gets his maiden First Class half century which kind of sums up Durham's day.

 

[Aidan11]

This has been a long, long day.

Trouble is when we get to bat again we'll probably end the day on something like 49/5.

 

[CartyDurham]

You were posting things from dms in a public forum I didn't do anything.

The phrase bullshit is appropriate

just go away

 

[CartyDurham]

Deep doodah all

only the draw available now and that will take some diligent batting to get there

And not a drop of rain in sight for tomorrow to help us.
