I see Weighell made a 50 down the order to help rescue Glamorgan from a big collapse. Proved to be in vain though-he bowled a couple of expensive overs and Middlesex cruised home.

He and Coggers are 2 of the same. Bowl as fast as they can without control and when they get hit try to bowl faster still with even less control. And they're both in their late twenties

[westoelad]

Yeah, well anyone can do that against a poor outfit like Northants....

oh wait!

Any team can lose to any other as Friday's results showed. Win some, lose some,we've proved we can compete. Doesn't matter to me, it's just an amusing interlude until proper cricket recommences.

Trevaskis out tonight having been in contact with a covid positive individual. Stokes is still in squad. Campbell and Poytner added. Reckon it'll be Crawshaw or Campell in for Trevaskis.
Appears they won't select Rushy under any circumstances.

Borthwick as main spinner

what could go wrong?

Dunno but H&S have advised all spectators to wear crash helmets.

Not exactly the ideal start!

[Durhamfootman]

we're getting flayed.

No Carse?

[Durhamfootman]

the Stonemercenary honeymoon looks over

[captaincolly]

124 runs in 13 overs and Borthwick has only conceded 17 in 3!

[Durhamfootman]

0-21 off his 4

decent economy in a match where the bowling was flogged

[captaincolly]

I was quite confident at the halfway stage!

scorecard suggests that was a bit of a dogs dinner

It was supposed to be bowlers we were short of, but the batters made a right mess of things

Northants must wish they could play us every match... they'd be top of the league if they could

It must have been brainless batting in the power play. Not sure why as our fightback in the latter part of their innings meant we were chasing a target that should have been achievable. It's not as if they needed to take outrageous risks at the start.
Think it was a career best for Curran!
