Hi
Hopeless again - not that we were expecting anything else!
Turner and Robinson the only ones who look like emerging with any credit.

Or maybe not
Whiy bowl Trevaskis for that last over instead of Turner?!

Says something that we didn't dare risk bowling Glover.

our scores are going down in every game we play it seems, but the runs we concede in power plays doesn't

our scores

141 in 13 overs W
217 W
168 L
153 W
168 L
162 W
161 L
172 L
178 T
150 L
146 L

our average batting total is about 172...... but take out the first 2 matches where I think we must have been on drugs, and that falls to 162 (I apologise for picking and choosing my stats to make a point)

we have Sowter and Raine who have picked up 34 wickets and go at under 7 an over, so that's good.... except everyone else (apart from Turner with 8) go at between 9 an over (Parnell) and 11+ (BdL). 56 runs every match from NS and BR and around 120 a match from everyone else.

If we score 162 runs on average and concede 176 on average, then you don't even need a maths O level to see where the problem lies

we gave away 66 in the PP today, but scored 29 in ours. Hasan Ali bowled 3 PP overs and conceded 7 runs!

We all thought, back in May, that perhaps we'd turned a T20 corner, that perhaps the new coach and new outlook was making a difference

wrong again!

Ahmed called up by England, so presumably we won't have to worry about him scoring a inconvenient 80 against us in the next match

Excellent. So just the Ackermann century and Parkinson 5 for to deal with!

I had a feeling rain was coming tonight. It's sort of felt like that from about 4pm onwards

Just as well I've given up on this for another year

[Durhamfootman]

interesting team with both Drissell and Bushnell in the side. No Parnell, neither of the flying Dutchmen

Drissell bowling in the PP and going for 6 off his 3.1 overs so far (I'm going to guess that he bowled 2 in the PP). I'm guessing Bushnell is there to have a bowl, whilst Carse is there to have a bat

Rain is coming down harder now and the up to date forecast predicts that it won't be stopping until about 9pm, so I reckon this game is done, unless DLS can find some way to halt the Yorks innings now and set us a target of 95 in 8 overs later, before ending it for one drop of rain later with us on 76 after 5 overs and then telling us we lost by 70 runs........ I've played this game before

Just as well we've been rubbish again this year and it don't matter one jot

[Durhamfootman]

It would have been interesting to see how this team selection panned out, so it's a pity really

Is Parnell injured/tired or has he been sent home?

[Durhamfootman]

Lashing it down now at Chez Footman

It'll be really hard to make a game out of this

I think he was in the original line-up but must have gotten injured in the warmups.

First ball duck for Ackermann tonight! Parkinson expensive too. Not reading anything into it of course....hopefully they'll repeat that in the upcoming CC game.

Matt Parkinson back on loan!

[Durhamfootman]

with us?

I haven't found that anywhere


The first Kookaburra round at Grace Rd. What a nonsense that is. I'm surprised any of Strauss' innovations are still standing, because the process seemed completely flawed to me
