Durham Match Thread 2019

[Aidan11]

I see Jimmy Anderson is in Lancs' squad for tomorrow.

Not been greatly effective so far this season. I'm more worried about Mahmood. Got back to back five-fers. I suppose law of averages may dictate he has an off day.

Let's hope so!

Anderson won't go for many and will build pressure that way.

Onions wasn't playing for them yesterday so probably won't tomorrow - it would have been interesting to see how he did, although I've got a good idea! Jennings will no doubt get a big score ...assuming Lancs bat first because of they do t he might not have the chance to.
Will be very tough for Durham against that attack, although confidence must be high after a fine run of results.

[captaincolly]

Martin Emmerson - in his match notes - writes that Onions is tipped to play instead of Jimmy Anderson. Don't know if he's been told something or if he has forgotten Anderson isn't involved with the England ODI side!

Excellent article from cricinfo on South Northumberland and club cricket in the region.

A few digs at the ECB in the article too!

Agree, excellent read.
Pity it's not Hants rather than Lancs playing though because then you'd have Northeast at SouthNorth.

It's Parkinson I'd fear most of the Lancs bowlers although Bunny will obviously be bending his back.

Lancashire bowling after winning the toss with both Anderson and Onions playing. Potts is in for us instead of Carse.
Should be an interesting test against this Lancs attack!

[Arthur Crabtree]

No Parkinson though.

[captaincolly]

I believe they have been made available for the Notts and Yorks games, but don't quote me on that. Although Stokesy would need to do a bit more with the bat for us than he has for Rajasthan.

I wasn't certain, but I think Stokesy was down having a net this afternoon. Looked like him, but he was helmeted up

You're right about Wood - withdrawn from the ODI squad for the Ireland game and will play those 2 games for us.

No Parkinson though.

Mahmood with yet another wicket and I think Clark might be on borrowed time at the top of the order!

[captaincolly]

Bancroft out c&b Maxwell and that might be game over already!

[Alviro Patterson]

Come on Durham!

Alex Lees still hanging in there

He's still there but despite this useful stand with Raine the chances of getting a competitive score look slim - 165/6!
