well this season is going better than expected with no appalling batting collapses and no shocking defeats inside 2 days. I think if we can avoid any defeats over the next month we'll do okay this year.

Bangers seems to have brought his Shield form with him...... no runs at all so far

No worries guys, we've made an excellent start in the virtual county championship courtesy of CricketWorld.


Sussex v Durham County Ground, Hove
Match Summary

Sussex 301 (Ben Brown 66; Rushworth 3/91) & 249 (Phil Salt 56; Ben Stokes 4/75)

Durham 360/8 dec (Alex Lees 75, Jack Burnham 79) & 191/7 (Liam Trevaskis's 50*; Jofra Archer 3/61)



Durham faced with scoring 191 to win were 94/4 at the close of play last night needing a further 97 runs to win.

Durham completed their victory largely due to Liam Trevaskis's 50*. Starting the day 4 wickets down needing another 97 runs was a tricky task, especially with 3 fairly early strikes. But the visitors were able to stay calm to gain 23 points on the road.

Out of daftness, and inspired by ianp's FL, I downloaded an old copy of cricket manager from 2011 and ran a couple of matches. 2 matches into the 2011 season and we've made a 100% start beating Hampshire and Yorkshire in the CC, so we're sitting nicely on top of the Div 1 table. Next match is a 40 over game -v- Scotland

Onions has been the standout bowler along with Harmison and Thorp. Plunkett has been injured and Davies sadly out of form, which feels as though it should have been the other way around

Stokes is batting at 3 (I was surprised he featured as early as that) and scoring runs for fun. Diva is scoring heavily, Borthdick and Stonemercenary have been relegated to 2nd XI cricket. Colly and Benks are scoring reasonably, but struggling with fitness a bit, and Blackwell is scoring runs, but not getting much of a bowl yet

Just realised there is no Chanderpaul in the side. Had he gone by the start of 2011? David Miller is our T20 OS player

Report from the ground.... Between overs, Harmy was standing inside the boundary rope leaning on one of the academy boys pretending to give him some advice, but really using him as a walking stick because he was feeling a bit tired.

and the season hasn't really started yet. Thank goodness we gave him a 3 year contract.... that's the kind of dedication and effort that deserves to be rewarded handsomely

Not the start Durham were looking for as they fell to a 6 wicket defeat. A total of 15 Durham wickets fell to leg spin as Tahir and Briggs ripped through the batting order in the kind of spin friendly conditions usually reserved for August or the T20 season, not early April. Durham will be kicking themselves for not including Borthdick and Breese in their first squad of the season.

Durham 235
Diva 40

Hants 420
Onions 4-101
Harmison 2-46

Durham 287

Mustard 62

After an absorbing few days of play in which less than 2 hours were lost to rain, Durham recovered from the, by now, usual shocking first innings collapse to edge out a tense 31 run win

Despite a 60 run opening stand between Diva and Smith, Durham needed a swashbuckling 37 from Blackwell just to get to 145. Davies and Thorp were outstanding and relentless as they prevented Yorkshire from mounting any partnerships with Rudolph and Sayers both having to fight hard to secure a 94 run first innings lead. Durham's second innings began badly losing Diva to the first ball, but Smith and Stokes added 119 for the second wicket to put Durham back into contention. The outstanding Smith batted with grim determination to carry his bat for 143 off 344 balls. Almost single handedly he absorbed everything that Yorkshire could throw at him, but Durham were indebted to a 10th wicket stand of 81 with Davies hanging around for 91 balls to set Yorkshire a 254 run target. After Harmison took the early wicket of Rudolph, Davies returned with Onions to rip out the heart of the Yorkshire batting. Rashid and Bresnan briefly threatened to push Yorkshire close, with a 59 run stand, but Blackwell deceived Rashid in the flight with a well directed arm ball to trap him in front and Yorkshire's goose was cooked.

Durham 145
Smith 45
Blackwell 37
Diva 34

Yorkshire 239
Davies 5-60
Thorp 3-54

Durham 348
Smith 143*
Stokes 75
Davies 34

Yorkshire 223
Onions 4-55
Davies 3-57

Durham win by 31 runs
