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

Weighell threatening to lose it in this penultimate over.

hard to see them not getting the 10

[Durhamfootman]

although that helps

[Durhamfootman]

that doesn't

[captaincolly]

Oh dear!

[Durhamfootman]

2 balls to spare.... quite the comeback

what price 4 overs from Tahir?

[Durhamfootman]

I like a big name Nepalese signing

Probably another wicketkeeper!

inevitably

[captaincolly]

I suppose with no Colly and Tahir and a very raw lineup we did well to almost do it. Annoying thing is the Tahir absence was entirely avoidable and you'd have to think we'd have won had he played.
Still, the youngsters did well and it's useful experience. Worry is that in such a tight group it could be a costly defeat - wouldn't fancy our chances against Lancs if Colly isn't there.

[captaincolly]

Although as Emmerson pointed out they needed 91 from the last 7 overs , so snatching defeat from the jaws of victory might be a fair criticism.

[captaincolly]

And in the end the worst bowlers were the two most experienced ones! 93 runs in 7.4 overs from Rushy and Rimmo.

Got to play Lancs twice too

Wood tweeted that he expects to be available next week. Accent could be mistaken for Nepalese I suppose.

But Livingstone, Jennings and Butler not.

That helps! Onions not playing tonight so maybe he has an injury - more likely he's resting. Will certainly be interesting if he plays next week.
