Durham Match Thread 2024

[Durhamfootman]

21-0 and they’ve scored 8 runs

3 wides. 5 leg byes and 4 overthrows

[Durhamfootman]

19 extras plus the overthrows.... 23 runs gifted to Derby's total of 73

won't win many matches this way

[Durhamfootman]

2 wickets in the over from Ben Raine.... gawd bless him

76-2

more of that please. Not so much of the extras

[Durhamfootman]

10 of those wides came off Parky, which Mustard didn't deal with.

still, he's young.... he's learning.

I commented on his batting earlier (4 off 17), but he turned that around, hitting Chappell for a couple of sixes and a four, ending up with 30 off 35 at a time when we were threatening to completely run out of steam. He very nearly hit Chappell for another six in the final over, but Moore was able to reach over the rope to catch the ball, despite a couple of juggles

Harry Moore, 17 years old with his best list A figures (of course) and a great catch

[Durhamfootman]

Parky and Ben exerting some control for us. 51 off the openers 10, 31 off their 10 (with 8 of those wk error)

[Durhamfootman]

It was good to see that Samit hasn't lost any weight, or I'd have been worried about him

[Durhamfootman]

Going down to the wire

215-6

39 required from the last 6

over to Wagner and Bas

[Durhamfootman]

without the 21 extras, Derbys would have needed 10 an over from here instead of 6 and a half

[Durhamfootman]

18 needed from 3 overs

still 4 wickets in hand

i think we're going to lose

[Durhamfootman]

we are indeed going to lose

I'm trying to work out the logic of bowling Ackers at the death. His last over went for 12. Bas is on now, but it's too late

4 wicket win with an over unused

Once again, I find myself questioning Lees' captaincy. I've done that quite a lot this season

3 in a row is still our white ball unicorn

[captaincolly]

Poor performance. Thought the writing was on the wall after the opening stand but wondered if we'd find a way back.

[captaincolly]

At least there was the Borthwick hundred to celebrate. Quite surprised it was his first in white ball cricket but I suppose he has batted down the order for a lot of his career.

[Durhamfootman]

I hadn't realised that either. I'm guessing that's his first 3 figure knock for the season

[captaincolly]

I hadn't realised that either. I'm guessing that's his first 3 figure knock for the season

Think so.

[Durhamfootman]

Campbell wasn't very happy about all the extras either on interview.

I had wondered why McKinney wasn't playing, but of course he's busy playing for the lions against SL
