Durham Match Thread 2018

And Rushworth is now stretching and looking injured!

[captaincolly]

He's going off mid-over and that might be the game. He was bowling fantastically too, looked like his old self.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Durham are favourites!

[Durhamfootman]

just got back from the BHW/E

we have a match, I see

I reckon from here we get them 9 down, but concede the winning runs off the penultimate ball

[Durhamfootman]

and Ben Raine scores them

[captaincolly]

and Ben Raine scores them

He's out just now but Rushworth and McCarthy are off injured.

[Durhamfootman]

oh deep joy!

never mind.... Wor Nige will sort them out..... as long as they suffering from nothing worse than a compound fracture of the tibia or a stress fracture of the back, he'll probably have them playing by tomorrow

[Durhamfootman]

and, of course, we have bowling depth in our senior squad that is the envy of the world, so we'll easily replace them if they are out for any length of time

[Durhamfootman]

I still think 9 down and penultimate ball

it's what we do

and it will allow JJB to think that we were just a bit unlucky

[Durhamfootman]

8 down and Jimmy the Weighell is playing a blinder. Danger man Dexter too

and I still think 9 down

[captaincolly]

Never in doubt! What a win.

If there's one plus out of this situation it will force Durham to bring in replacements be it loan or kolpak.

[captaincolly]

Colly apparently has an ankle injury.
First time we've won after following on.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Amazing win.

But at the same time, pretty rubbish from Leics to lose that game.

Yes. Have to feel a bit sorry for them - not won in 17 or 18 games and now this. I guess that winless record meant any sort of half decent score would put them under pressure.
