Well, we've tried something different again

this time we'v opened with Lees and Robinson (in Robbo we trust). By the time Lees had got to 4, Robbo was out for 49 off 20 balls and we reached the end of the PP on 79-1

Lees has just been stumped for 9 and BdL and Ackers are at the crease. 90-2 after 7.3

Bas has the long handle out and is currently on 34 off 18

229-6 is not to be sniffed at

58 for Bas and a very useful 46 off 22 from Hayden Mustard

Eagles lose 2 wickets in the first over

3 down and we've only bowled 10 balls

Parky opened the bowling again. Clearly that's our plan for the summer, because I don't think that's changed at any point in this comp

oh blimey.... another wicket for Coughlin

4-4 off 2 overs

Bas clean bowls wicket number 7 and I'm starting to wonder if Eagles will make it to the end of the PP

they do manage to cling on to the end of the PP

they do make it to double figures, but young Luke steps into the attack and picks up a double wicket maiden

11-9 after 7 overs

Ben Raine gets hit for the Eagles only 4, before Sowter finishes the innings with his first ball

16 all out in 8.1 overs

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/zim ... -scorecard

Durham win by 213 runs

astonishing, really :o

there's some figures there that Durham players will want to see framed

it puts a big question mark over all the other results

I thought this T20 series had taught us something about where we are T20-wise atm, but now I'm not so sure
