Durham Match Thread 2019

[Durhamfootman]

what we need is a snarling fast bowler to bounce one up his nose

thank goodness we have lots of those

[captaincolly]

Rampaul is on 22 off 12 balls.... 2 4's and 2 6's

lead is 358

Your 400 prediction could be on!
Batting is - or was when he tweeted it earlier on- extremely straightforward on a flat pitch according to Martin Emmerson!

[Durhamfootman]

there you go.... Salisbury gets Rampaul and the target is 200 more than the 161 we have in our locker

[captaincolly]

361 to win. Let's see how much of a mess they make of it they go about it.

Are we ruling out you chasing this?

Are we ruling out you chasing this?

I think so. If Bancroft was playing I'd give us a chance but hard to see who is capable of scoring the big hundred it'd take to win. Then again maybe someone will!

[Durhamfootman]

early close again, but that helps us. 14 overs negotiated without losing a wicket..... must be some kind of record

Yes, fantastic effort to get to the close. It'd usually have been about 10/3.
By the way, will you be there for any of the Sussex game?

[Durhamfootman]

if that's the game coming up, then yes. Probably Friday..... If I leave it until Saturday, it might be all over before I get there

[Durhamfootman]

Are we ruling out you chasing this?

oh yes

[Durhamfootman]

ask yourself if England would chase 361

then remember that we are nowhere near as good as England

[captaincolly]

True! I'll see you there, should be down after lunch both Thursday and Friday.

Expressions such as"lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place" spring to mind.

Yes! Two miraculous innings, maybe the memory will inspire them!

Another familar tale in the cricinfo report of our bowlers often beating the bat and a couple of dropped catches when the edge was taken. We do seem to drop a lot of catches.
