What a game.

Durham your favourite sort of game, low scoring and close

From being one run away from getting knocked out with three group games still to spare.

been a remarkable turnaround

was it you who pointed out Bopara's unexpected return? Bopara has been terrific

not as terrific as the man though

Harmer's last 12 T20 overs.... all of them in the highest of high pressure matches...... have returned 7-48...... 7-48!

Absolutely fitting that he scored the winning runs

Didn't you go in 2016?

Finals Day just seems to get better year by year. I'm happy enough to follow it regardless of who is in the competition.

never been.

the last time i had sky and could watch was when Durham got humiliated by Tyron Henderson Middlesex in the semis back in 2008. Shiv trundled through the whole innings very gently, very sedately, and very calmly (at one point I think he had a cup of tea out in the middle) to take us to an imposing 130 (with most of the team still in the shed padded up), which Middlesex knocked off in about 14 overs. Henderson took the wickets and then battered 60 off about 20 balls.

just shows how bad we are at T20... we got an absolute thrashing off statistically one of the worst sides in the tournament's history

while everyone else was using spin, spin, spin, we decided Harmison steaming in was the way to go. I think he went for about 50 runs and didn't even bowl out

blimey.... we were hopeless

still are
