The Cricket Thread

This is all going rather splendidly isn’t it?

 

It will be when the rain arrives.

 

There will still be time for another 16 wickets, don’t worry.

 

Our batting is improving, we haven't lost a wicket for the last 40 minutes...

 

I'm a bit puzzled why the rain hasn't arrived TBH. According to the Met Office, it should be pouring down!

 

On the plus side, only one bowling point for Durham.

 

Nicely done!

 

Awful shot from Brown.

 

You know a team has the hoodoo on you when you are looking like bowling them out for 150 and they end up with a vast first innings lead!

 

Beautiful!!

 

The ball is turning miles. So Ben Brown bowled Fuller ahead of Sundar this morning. Moron.

 

Fuller trying to destroy our short leg fielders one at a time

 

TBF it's got rid of the position so has done the trick!

 

I'm absolutely disgusted by the lack of application by some of our so called senior players. Why are we playing Barker when he's not going to be here next year? Clearly doesn't give a ****.

 

I have no words for these shots. It's not as if we're in danger of relegation. The sooner Birrell ****s off the better. And Brown has to be sacked as captain if he doesn't step down. Those two deserve most of the blame for this ****show.

 

172 all out.

 

If Durham get a draw it's out of our hands on the last game, I just can't see us saving this match.

 

What's going on with us has certainly washed away any chances of Durham and Worcs trying to force a result. If even there was a chance of that at all. Looking at the last round of fixtures the good news for us is Durham and Yorks play each other so our destiny will still be in our own hands. Thanks to the weather across the country, this round won't be the disaster it really could have been.

 

Phew that was lucky..., although we have to try and get a result against title chasing Surrey.

 

True, although we do have a good record at home v Surrey.
