County Championship 2025.

Hampshire doing well isn't a help. But if there's a result between Durham/Yorks, Essex will be fine.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Durham look like knocking up a handy score v Yorks.

Somerset on 243-4 good partnership this rew on 49*

[andy]

Another 50 for James rew

[Arthur Crabtree]

Read he was candidate for the tour.

[andy]

250 up for Somerset.... might be worth chucking Bennett the ball for an over or two of short stuff before the new ball arrives

[andy]

Another worry for us today is Michael pepper has been off the field since lunch...took a blow on the finger in the first session and hasn't been on field since ...so effectively a batter down

[Durhamfootman]

Essex will be fine. Durham don't have 20 wickets in them, so won't win

I don't know anybody who thinks that Durham will stay up

[Arthur Crabtree]

They only have to beat Yorks. And have had slightly the better of day one.

[Durhamfootman]

They still don't have 20 wickets in them

I see the BBC report that Stokes was at Headingley today, getting ready for the ashes by bowling on the outfield at his home county

maybe they know something I don't

maybe they don't know anything

and maybe they just don't check anything

they'd already stated that Raine was 86 not out at close of play, despite having the correct scorecard summary as Raine 87*

I know it's trivial stuff, but it annoys the sh1t out of me

[Arthur Crabtree]

So, Stokes has signed for Yorks.

Wouldn't matter anyway. He never plays for his county.

He might do for a bit, when he's no good anymore.

Really?

Can't find anything on the t'interwebs

I was just joining in with Durham's post.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Durham currently in the hotseat for the drop. Nice weather though!

[andy]

Another hundred for Paul Walter he's has a very good season at the top of the order!
