Durham Match Thread 2018

[captaincolly]

Ideal start to the last session. Stevens out lbw to Weighell. Here comes Will Gidman.

Wickets for Smith and Rimmington just keeping us in this. 7 down and the lead is 51. Must not let the tail wag...so it almost certainly will.

[captaincolly]

Ever since I said Rimmington looked innocuous he has looked dangerous and has 3 wickets now. No heroics from Henry with the bat - 0. 8 down.

[Durhamfootman]

nip the next 2 out quickly and given the way we bat, there might be time for the match to be over by tonight

[Durhamfootman]

I'm amazed that Henry didn't score a run a ball ton, btw

still.... time for Gidders to do that

[Durhamfootman]

Of course we have a released player and a rejected player at the crease, so expect the late order 100 stand to start here

[Durhamfootman]

my 'Kent batting until tea tomorrow' prediction is still on

[captaincolly]

Well these two have put on nearly 30 and haven't looked like getting out. Lead is 78 now.

Wicket! Gidman gone.

[captaincolly]

All out and there will be about 6 or 7 overs to bat. Poor Aiden-is the script written for two ducks in a day?

[captaincolly]

I knew it! 0-1.

[captaincolly]

The most disastrous debut since the opening night of Mike Read's Oscar Wilde musical.

Only difference between the 2 sides has been between the performances of the 2 overseas SAffers.

Yep and Kuhn was a bit lucky - looked all at sea for his first few deliveries and could have been out to any one of them.

Did Rimmington bowling improve later on? Agree with you on the opening spell looked very ordinary. Thought his batting looked better than his bowling. Mind saying that the first few times i saw Callum Thorp bowl I thought Hussey had just done one of his old mates from Perth a favour and got him fixed up and he turned out ok.
I thought Weighell and Potts where poor when they came on 1st and 2nd change as well.
The batting! wow that was poor. Surely they are better than that as a unit.
