Durham Match Thread 2019

whatever we gained in terms of RR on Friday had been more than destroyed today

we scored 157 in 11 overs, they are on 155 after 10

[Durhamfootman]

I'm predicting a collapse from Worcester

[Durhamfootman]

13 4's and 13 6's conceded in 10 overs

that's half of all deliveries bowled

ouch!

even Rimmer got the treatment

[Durhamfootman]

but then I suppose this is what happens when boundaries are set at the size of a billiard table

[captaincolly]

That was much more like it!
Hopeless would be an understatement. The only good thing was Handscomb getting runs on debut.
You'd think by now they'd have worked out how to bowl at Rikki Wessels- they've had plenty of practice.

[Durhamfootman]

no practice at getting him out, though, sadly

who'd have thought that Carse's usual econ of 12.33, far from being the worst, would actually be the best of the lot

[westoelad]

Ridiculous short boundaries= ridiculous results.
Decent home form=Decent gates.
Suits me.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Guptill in form at last.

[Durhamfootman]

too late for him though

I'm sure he would have preferred to have done that in the world cup

That sums it up perfectly!

Suits me.

Yeah. That's the main thing.

I thought that the weather prospects looked a bit grim for tomorrow night, but it might (might!) not be as bad as I first thought. Forecast tonight seemed to suggest that the rain might have moved away by the time the match starts, so it might end up a bit like the last match. Same result would be nice too

Fingers crossed. Lord knows what'll happen if we get a game- it's impossible to predict how we'll do other than it'll probably either be a brilliant display or a hopeless one! One extreme or the other.

[Durhamfootman]

are you going down tomorrow, Capt?

[captaincolly]

are you going down tomorrow, Capt?

Yes, will be interesting to see what size crowd turns up on a Wednesday night. That stand we were in for the first game was a good vantage point so I'll head over there again!

[Durhamfootman]

long way to the bar, so you might have to buy 2 at a time

lets hope the weather holds
