Durham Match Thread 2021

[captaincolly]

are you popping down tonight, capt?

I think I might. Forecast suggests it should stay dry..... whatever that means..... they might be talking about alcohol

Not tonight but will be down on Sunday - weather permitting!

[Durhamfootman]

I have a few days off now, so I might pop down for bits of the Notts game

I see we have only 2 home matches for the one day cup, with one other match going to Marcus North's back patters and another going to that silly Scarborough thing, so not much value for money there

It's getting more and more dark. Rain is coming... I can feel it

stop in and watch Gardeners' World instead, I think

It's pretty dark in Pelton and a few spots of rain.

176. Usually a good score but some daft dismissals and we should have got more.
Derbyshire short on confidence but our bowling attack has a few unknowns in it so I think it's in the balance. Stream is poor with the fixed cameras!

[Durhamfootman]

Derbys are full of loanees by the looks of things

I imagine Alex Thomson will be delighted with 3-23.... take that you to$$ers!

8 no balls..... 8! come on Matty

fortunately the free hit only went for 1, so 9 runs off 1 ball.... in a tight game

[Durhamfootman]

17 runs off that over brings Derbys right back into a game in which they were drifting towards defeat

[Durhamfootman]

22 runs needed off 2 overs

very do-able

very likely, in truth

we need wickets

[Durhamfootman]

Potts ripped to pieces

31 runs off his last 2 overs..... won't do in this game

8 needed off the final over

small consolation...... Potts can't bowl it

[Durhamfootman]

Raine needs to bowl the over of his life, because he's been left nothing to defend

[Durhamfootman]

8 off 6

7 off 5

6 off 4

5 off 3

[Durhamfootman]

I can't help but feel that there's a kicker coming

[Durhamfootman]

3 off 2

remember that no ball 3 overs ago that got flogged into the stands and cost an extra 3 runs?

1 off 1

[Durhamfootman]

goodnight Vienna

without that no ball, we'd have won that

got what we have deserved of late, though

wheels are off..... and tbh I don't mind, because had we made it through to the QF's we'd have been flogged to death....... yet again

I think at various stages we've lost to every bottom placed team in the league
