Durham match thread 2022

I've just noticed that Stokes was stumped

not a good look when there's a match to save

lest we forget..... England want the counties to prepare pitches so that batsmen can learn how to bat to save a match.... no point them looking here

I didn't quite see what happened, at first I thought he was bowled!

Bamboozled by the part time leggie

Raine got out in the 79th over of the first innings too

perhaps it's a 'thing'

He's out now so Carse may as well try and tee off.

Didn't get the chance - Rushy out. I haven't been here long but from what I've seen the pitch has absolutely no demons in it so the chances of defending this total are, to put it mildly, slim at best! Still you never know - 2 or 3 quick wickets might make them jittery.

[Durhamfootman]

Ever the optimist, Capt

their last 3 wickets added 202 runs

ours added 28

it's not fair really.... our second three bowlers happily gave them 6 runs an over for no reward and Glamorgan didn't even have the decency to do likewise. Instead they snuck in and took 4 wickets at 2 an over when no-one was paying attention. You just can't trust some people

[Durhamfootman]

why are Glammy opening with a nightwatchman?

or is it just a typo?

or are they so happy that the game's in the bag that they're giving everyone a go.... practice for when they have to play a decent team

Lloyd must be injured because Carlson was captaining this afternoon, maybe they think sending in a blocker to try and get through the new ball is the way to go! Looked like a dropped catch by Borthwick- it was either a tough chance or didn't carry.

[captaincolly]

He's out now. Another wicket for Potts and there's an article in The Guardian suggesting he could be in line for a test call - great for him but imagine this attack without him!

[Durhamfootman]

He'll get the call, I've no doubt at all, but I imagine he'll carry drinks for a while

still..... what are we going to do without him?

I suppose the simple answer is find another white ball bowler, because I think the only red ball game he might miss will be the Worcs game on the 12th June. The 2 games we have in July coincide with white ball cricket for England and that is a settled side which nobody will want to tinker with

[Durhamfootman]

Potts has both openers now

Carse on and Stokes soon after, so they'll quickly give it all away

[Durhamfootman]

Maybe Capt Beaky fancies coming on and bamboozling their batsmen with a bit of occasional spin too

12 runs from Carse's first over so far and they're changing the ball.

[Durhamfootman]

only 12 off the first Carse over
