The Cricket Thread

I see that Brevis and Pretorius both made the SA white ball squad for their tour here - not exactly unexpected.

I'm guessing we found that out yesterday, hence the timing of confirming that Cartwright will play in the QF.

With Vince in no form (joining Prest), and the risk that Albert could be totally out of touch (maybe he might be released last minute to play tomorrow?), we might need Cartwright to score most of our QF runs!

 

Prest finally left out. Good to have Fuller available again.

 

Quite a lot riding on all four games in our group today.

We definitely want Notts to lose. If we win, then we definitely want to Worcs to lose - but if we lose, then it's questionable as to what result we want between Leics-Worcs. If we lose, then we definitely want Essex to lose - but if we win, then it's questionable as to what result we want between Essex-Gloucs.

 

Very poor bowling effort, except for Kyle.

We'll do well to chase this.

 

Looksa tough total to get without an explosive batsman in the team

 

Mayes really is putting himself in contention to play in the t20 QF (albeit Durham's bowlers are a level above Glamorgan and Derby).

 

Brutal from Fuller

 

Looks like an impressive run chase, with good contributions by all

 

Excellent run chase

 

Great win. Mayes is going to be a big talent.

 

Top run chase, with everyone contributing! Brilliant from Mayes after coming in at 206-5.

 

So our final game is on Tuesday. If we finish 2nd or 3rd, the QF will be on Thursday. And if we win that (or if we finish 1st), then the SF will be on Sunday.

Dawson plays his final 100 match tomorrow.
Baker and Currie play their final 100 match on Tuesday.
Wood and Howell play their final 100 match on Wednesday.
Vince (and Albert in reserve) plays his final 100 match on Thursday.

Ironically, Fuller, the only one who has played any part in our campaign so far, is our only player whose 100 campaign will extend to next weekend.
