Durham Match Thread 2018

I thought we were on for 210 min at one point.

feels as though we rather let things slip at the end there

No tahir is a blow, and no Colly either so who is going keep things tight in the middle overs?

Pringle and McCarthy?

unlikely

cue Clarke to flog us to all parts

Fast pitch and short boundaries according to Marty.

[Durhamfootman]

better to try and bowl as fast as ever we can then.... that might work

Good plan! Clarke out early thankfully.

[captaincolly]

Looks as if they're cruising along and only wickets will slow them down.
Very unprofessional behaviour for Tahir not to arrive in time -,unless JJ forgot to tell him it was a 4.30 start not 6.30!

[Durhamfootman]

I'm confused... was he not on the team bus?

No. He was driving - I was thinking it might have been because it's his last game and he was heading to the airport or something but apparently a few others decided to drive.
Not sure why.

[Durhamfootman]

well hopefully that won't be allowed to happen again

2 wickets in the over helps

[Durhamfootman]

and I suppose we have to learn how to win these games without Tahir

and without Colly too

Yes. Unless they've managed to get Axar Patel to come earlier it seems as if they're not replacing Tahir - or maybe they've got a big announcement to make. When does Nepal's debut ODI series finish!

[Durhamfootman]

I like a big name Nepalese signing

[Durhamfootman]

despite what I said earlier, McCarthy and Whitehead are doing okay

[captaincolly]

Probably another wicketkeeper!

[Durhamfootman]

5 down, rate rising, but we need Rushy to get a grip

[captaincolly]

24 needed off 2. With Whitely firing and Parnell capable of big hitting I'd make them favourites.
