Ackers could have run himself out after using up 6 balls for no runs

[Durhamfootman]

out!

Ackermann 1 run off 7 balls

25-2 after 2 overs becomes 33-3 after 5 overs

I'm pleased I didn't bother

[Durhamfootman]

Robbo also has 1 run off 7 balls

reminder.... this is a PP

[Durhamfootman]

just in case anyone has forgotten

25 runs off the first 2 overs

5 off the third

0 off the 4th

3 off the 5th

1 off the 6th

Not much power in that power play

[Durhamfootman]

1 boundary then out next ball

38-4

and I'm going to bed, because this is going to be another.... yet another.... catastrophic embarrassment

[Durhamfootman]

at least I haven't wasted any of my life on this

If the next 2 away matches go as badly as this, I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be going to any of the matches

although my son in law and his Dad are expecting me to go to the Yorkshire game, so maybe just the one and maybe I'll spend the whole of it sitting outside the chicken gyros van trying no avoid having to watch

A friend of mine has decided he wants to go to a game and bring his son - it'll probably put them off the game for life!

I'm trying to work out which is worse.....

being a shambles and never being at the races, with the match over by 8.30,

or

bowling well, limiting the opposition to 117, rollicking along to 79-1 in reply and then losing 9 wickets for 30 runs

[Durhamfootman]

oh.... crikey

I was going to say, with the score on 99-7 that at least we'll get to 100 today, but now we've lost 2 in 2 on 99.... so pehaps not

Onnnnnne Hundred

woo hoo

rarer than hens eggs

[Durhamfootman]

101 all out

I'm going 10 overs for Warks to knock them off

[Durhamfootman]

5 and a half an over

we score faster than that in red ball cricket

It's entirely mental. We've spent 21 years tending to self destruct, the players know that we've spent 21 years tending to self destruct and the moment we lose a couple of wickets we press that self destruct button again.....and the club wonder why they can't fill the ground and have to give tickets away for a quid to make the crowd look respectable

I reckon Dwarshius will feign a bilious attack in the next week and have to go home

The net run rate will be interesting after 2 games!

176 in 2 innings. 176 isnt a formidable chase these days and it has taken us 2 games to post it.

rarer than hens eggs :hmmm

Shows you how badly Durham T20 scrambles my brain

I do, of course, mean hens teeth

hens eggs...... what a *modded* turnip
