Right.... I'm shutting up now, because Steel becomes Critchley's 2nd wicket

see you at half time

[Durhamfootman]

160 it is, then

not sure what to think about that, tbh. It might be a good score, of course, but not losing the first wicket until the 14th over with 114 on the board, 180 felt a more likely total than 160.

a team with some bigger hitting players in the middle order might have got to 200 from that platform


anyway.... we'll see

[Durhamfootman]

With Northants chasing a modest Leics total, and Yorks picking up a rain point, if we lose to Derby tonight then I think only a Birmingham defeat will prevent us from going bottom of the table..... despite having the competition's MVP in the side

Northants are off for rain and might have to come back to a DL amended target. It'll be interesting to see what total they get, because you just know we'd have to chase 200 in 10 overs despite only conceding 137 runs in 20

[Durhamfootman]

And now we are off rain

so our 160 will probably see Derby having to chase 80 in 12 overs

or 30 in 6

or something equally ludicrous

[Durhamfootman]

nope... we're under way again

Carse goes for 10 off his first

Steel for 4 off our second

Potts on

[Durhamfootman]

I should have taken the ssip over Godleman earlier

he's already got 3 fours and a six under his belt

4 fours and a six

[Durhamfootman]

5 fours and a six

Potts getting the treatment

even more than Carse

[Durhamfootman]

5 fours and 2 sixes

Potts leaks 21 off his first over

Derby are 35-0 after 3 and surely have the weather in mind

[Durhamfootman]

more control from Rimmer, but Carse is back on

I reckon Derby have gotten themselves ahead of a 5 over DL target and are now going to make sure they don't lose any wickets in those first 5

It's what I'd do

but it hasn't worked because Carse has got one... not Capt Charming, but they all count

[Durhamfootman]

and now Rimmer has lifted Capt Charisma

44-2

and we have a game of course, so all these wickets help matters

I never know whether DL takes into account the fact that we hadn't lost any wickets at this stage

[Durhamfootman]

new tactic... we aren't taking pace off now that the PP has finished. Carse starts his 3rd

[Durhamfootman]

and so far it's working because Carse has 1-21 off 3


Northants are off again and they haven't got a game yet

Notty's are thumping the Bears

[Durhamfootman]

Game Dame on

[Durhamfootman]

Notts/Bears off, but they do have a game and Notts will be miles ahead

[Durhamfootman]

Dame replaced by Steel, but that doesn't work, because Madsen is tracking the DL par score and hitting 2 boundaries off the over to keep them ahead of it

Trevaskis strikes... again the wrong player, but again they all count... even more so when the rain is about
