Durham County Cricket Club

My weather app has it 60% not to rain tomorrow

Every website I’ve seen says rain at around 15:00. The weather gods are NEVER kind to Durham.

On a similar note, the ground is still bathed in sunshine and perfect light for cricket half an hour after the Close - but they lost a sessions worth of play due to light yesterday, like I say, the weather gods always shaft us.

 

[Silly Point 2.0]

Rain will save them, probably with bad light about an hour or so before it arrives as well. With them, India and the Aussies, the cricket gods must be horrible shithousey racist ***** too.

I noticed Bairstow complaing about something during the last over.

Not like him of course.

He's still a c*nt I see

 

[brandon]

Forecast has changed again, it’s now saying rain from 13:00. No chance of anything but a draw now. Absolutely typical.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Just arrived at the ground - already spitting onto rain.

 

[brandon]

Wouldn’t surprise me if they delay the start due to bad light.

 

[Aidan11]

Certainly looks gloomy out there.

 

[brandon]

We need 6 wickets before lunch and they’ve got one slip in.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Will Gidman fielding for us !!

 

[Aidan11]

Doggett not on the field and our casualty list is so big that Will Gidman is a sub fielder.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Lees doing his best David Graveney fielding impression there.

Doggett not on the field and our casualty list is so big that Will Gidman is a sub fielder.

Might aswell just shake hands on the draw now.

 

[Durham Fan]

This club seems to have an injury curse when it comes to our overseas bowlers.

 

[brandon]

I think even the Durham players know they’re not winning this, no intensity whatsoever this morning. If this was anyone else and we were batting the fielding side would be buzzing about all over and the bowlers would be running in hard and giving it their all.

 

[Aidan11]

Bairstow in the umpire's ear about the light again.

 

[brandon]

It goes from bad to worse, Robinson drops Bairstow - it would’ve been a dolly without the gloves on.

 

[The_Rey]

It goes from bad to worse, Robinson drops Bairstow - it would’ve been a dolly without the gloves on.

Suppose Bairstow has given so many lives to other batters while behind the stumps, it's only fair the useless lump gets the favour returned.

 

[Aidan11]

Robinson not having any luck at present. He won't be dropped given our injury list. Normally I would have said Haydon Mustard might get a game but I've not heard anything about him this season. Not even playing on the 2nd XI today.

Has anyone heard anything?

 

[Durham Fan]

May as well just shake hands now. Durham have been pathetic this morning.

 

[Aidan11]

Raine has come closest to taking a wicket but Yorkshire are having all the luck today.
