I was sort of pleased to lose Burns...got me Marnus in as a sub.

So of course he's now made his first single figure score in a Test Match

No catches either. Maybe he'll take a 5-fer.

Burns might be back in the next game.

what with England's large range of batting options?

surely not!

Forgot about this again. I'll get the sack.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Scores from the brief debacle at the 'G.

Cummins...93
Lyon...86
Green...85
Robinson...70
Carey...59
Warner...58
Stokes...58
Smith...26
Haseeb...17
Labuschagne...11

No one actually has Starc in their five and only Mike has him in a sub this time. But Mike is down to four.

Not much change this time, with scoring quite low. These are the scores from the world famous MCG.

Durham...391
DD...361
Junior...316
Alfie...316
Twins...316
Red...316
Arthur...309
Andy...283
GJ...282
Mike...276
BFL...274

2021 continues to be a halcyon year for Durham...

Durham...1783
Red...1701

Twins...1635
BFL...1591
Arthur...1528

Andy...1439
DD...1432
Alfie...1428
Mike...1176

...but now it's 2022. Nearly.

looking like a straight shootout between Lyon and Big Marnus

I'm going to have to rely on England batters being hopeless against spin, but much better against pace, line and bounce. The first part of that shouldn't be a problem, but the latter part smacks of footman desperation

Blimey, forgot all about this. I'll do it tomorrow.

Scores from the SCG.


Khawaja...313
Stokes...152
Smith...142
Green...139
Cummins...136
Lyon...126
Labuschagne...67
Starc...62
Root...54
Carey...53
Anderson...44
Warner...43
Haseeb...15

Khawaja posts the highest score of the series, giving Mike a late series boost.

Starc has his worst score of the series just as DD has him in his five for the first time.

Scores from SCG.

This is moving day.

Durham...610
Twins...551
Red...551
Junior...551
Alfie...551
Arthur...541
BFL...514
Mike...501
GJ...468
Andy...422
DD...372

With Haze out for Junior and Burns out for Alfie, four teams have the same score.

And the scores going into the Hobart Test.

Durham...2393

Red...2252
Junior...2233

Twins...2186
BFL...2105

Arthur...2069

GJ...1984

Alfie...1979

Andy...1861
DD...1804

Mike...1677



I think with the Reds having the same team, only the original Red can win out of that trio.

So that's Durham's Lyon (+lead) v Red's Labuschagne.

As a long shot, Durham's Root/Stokes (+lead) v BFLs Labuschagne/Warner.

Lyon's first innings 31 looking handy here
