Durham Match Thread 2021

just been looking at that defeat scorecard.... Angus Robson.... what happened to him?

Good question. I don't know, he just seemed to disappear!

When he came to us he was no longer a full-time cricketer -he was a PE teacher. I assume he's returned to teaching.

I didn't know that. Thanks WL.

slow start today. Matty P getting creamed. This is where a quality spinner earns his corn

Procter continues to be a thorn in our side

I also didn't know that about Robson.
3 wickets in the first session so just about on track.

Raine gets Procter

7 down still 80 behind

[Durhamfootman]

I'd forgotten Coughlin was playing. I wonder what the significance of holding him back until the ball was 50 overs old was?

[Durhamfootman]

first innings it took less than 4 overs to shoot out 9,10,Jack. So far, baby Jumble (I presume it's a baby Jumble) and more importantly Kerrigan have resisted for 12 overs

it's quality spinner time

[Durhamfootman]

Coughlin reverting to type conceding 12 off the over to a side trying to hang on

Yes,they're getting close to making us bat again. Got to keep it tight until the new ball.

[westoelad]

Coggers bowling pies so Borthwick comes on himself to bowl slower pies- appalling captaincy.

[Durhamfootman]

Potts with the breakthrough

still 20 needed to make us bat again

Notional 18 overs left in the day... although there might be more if it's 16 in the final hour

[Durhamfootman]

Kerrigan has a FC best of 62. It would be good if we didn't do what we usually do

[Durhamfootman]

batting again looking more likely.... only 9 behind. Number 10 hitting fours now

I forgot about September early starts.... we will be into the last hour, so losing 2 overs for the turnaround would not be ideal if they ended up with a 20 or 30 run lead and only a few overs left in the day

[Durhamfootman]

1 run

[Arthur Crabtree]

Borthwick buys a bonus wicket. One to get.
