crikey..... we bring in an expensive overseas bowler and then drop him for Bedders

maybe he had a convenient niggle after a week of sitting on his @rse

[Durhamfootman]

Mulder is winding up

we need to lift him sharpish before he takes the game away

[captaincolly]

Pretty disastrous end to the innings. Thought we might restrict them to around 150.

[captaincolly]

Easy win in the end just as we expected
Be interesting to see how we juggle the overseas options going forward- Bedingham surely has to be in and one of the other two. Tricky - I know Turner has his critics but is a pretty handy player imo, but then again the seam bowling is iffy.

[Durhamfootman]

A win

hen's teeth ain't in it, but I'll definitely take it

[Durhamfootman]

it seems to have been a very measured reply, which I guess we had to do after the debacle of the first two matches

who was keeping, btw... was it Robbo or Lt Mustard? (it feels weird that I can remember him chasing a ball around the players balcony when he was about 3)

Robbo.

just watched the highlights from yesterday. Blimey, we bowled some filth. Coggers and Raine especially.

Birmingham would probably have made 300! Is Ackermann injured?

[Durhamfootman]

194-9 batting first

but can we defend it?

[Durhamfootman]

Bedders hit 63 off 27 balls

not bad for someone we've always limited to red ball cricket, because he can't score quickly enough for white ball

no Dwarshius again..... I told you he'd feign a bilious attack and go home once he'd seen for himself how cr@p we are

[Durhamfootman]

Warks going along at 240 pace atm

[Durhamfootman]

well, we have 3 wickets now, but the replacement batters are still keeping the innings going along at 10 an over, so we need more wickets

and we have a 4th

but I've been here many, many times and I'm not particularly sanguine about our chances

122-4..... requiring 73 from 7 overs

[Durhamfootman]

58 needed off 5 overs

we haven't got a hope of defending that.... not the way we bowl. We bowled utter sh1te in the last 4 overs last night. Even Ben Raine couldn't stop offering up full tosses

[Durhamfootman]

37 needed off 15 balls

7 down

and such is the abject nature of Durham's T20 record, I'm still not certain we'll get over the line
