Glenn Chapple - unlucky not to have played more for England ?

[Richard]

It's not to do with a worsening average, it's to do with worsening performance. Any fool can see that Caddick has not been the bowler post-2004 that he was before it.

That's what's a shame.

I am sure Scaly would be able to see the irony in me saying that about 2nd placed Durham

Given you and him are such best mates, yes, probably so.

What on Earth are you on about?

 

[Richard]

Never mind, never mind...

I always wondered if staring at an avatar like that could induce the effect of taking psychotropic drugs, now I know.

Hmm, what quality is this pitch at Durham, wickets a plenty. It cant be good if Mahmood and Plunkett have 4 wickets between them

 

[Scaly piscine]

It's not at Durham it's at Blackpool, apparently a big proportion of the wickets fell at one end on the first day. The pitch inspectors are investigating it anyway.

ah right, that'll explain it. Not a county standard ground there by any means. Given the summer we've had and the lack of facilities on such a ground, i doubt very much it'll be in anywhere near decent condition

Edit: Considering neither team has used their spinner despite being in the XI, dont think the pitch is trustworthy at all!

eh....Blackpool has always been a good ground as far as I can remember.
