Two play and misses and a big lbw shout in the first over. 1-0.

Trescothick already played and missed at four. He's living a charmed life...... Probably make a f***ing ton.

Trescothick dropped by Breese.

7-0 at Close.

Pretty even day really. Frustrating for us that we couldn't make 350+. Just seemed to keep losing wickets at the worst times. The collapse from 219-3 to 238-7 was the most dissappointing and while you can't be too harsh on tail-enders, it would've been a big boost if 10 and 11 could have made a few runs apiece to give Harrison a chance at completing his half century.

Hard to say what we can expect tomorrow, would've been huge if Breese could've held the catch and had them 6-1 overnight. As it is, I'll settle for any kind of first innings lead. Going off what the commentators have said the pitch is pretty good and Durham will be disappointed not to have made 350.

Somerset's strength is certainly in their batting so it'll be a difficult task to gain a lead I think.

Fairly even day. Durham maybe just shaded it. It was always a big ask to get 350 and I'm quite happy with what we got. Always very difficult to bat in the morning sessions at Durham so I wouldnt be surprised if Somerset lost a few wickets before lunch.
 
:lol: He's excelled himself today

You'd think he was watching safc, not the national champions
 
fuck me brandy, you sound ready to jump off a cliff here :lol::lol:

In fairness, I meant our hopes of 400 when I said 'job' ;)

Day of missed opportunities though. 3/4 lads got good starts but couldn't make 50. Jenno will be gutted he couldn't get to three figures.

ICBYD - if you don't know my tactics by now, you never will lad :(
 
We don't know if 308 is a good score or not yet, we'll only know once they've finished their 1st innings, but isn't that always the case at the Riverside?
 
Freezing today at the ground.

I'd have taken 300 at the start so happy with that.

Not happy that the Easter Bunny wouldn't give me one of her eggs though.

In fairness you could say that's the case anywhere. The general feeling last season was that 200 was competitive! Although listening to the commentary I did get the feeling that batting wasn't too difficult.

That's because a lot of their bowling was poor, they only caused problems when they managed to put it in the right areas. Even after 6 overs from our lads it looks a different pitch.

Fair one Harry, if you've been then you've got an advantage over me. Did the fact they were batting for Close make a difference though?

No, both batsmen played and missed, Rushy only bowled at Trescothick and beat him several times and had him dropped, Bunny beat both batsmen when they faced him with Jones not being able to put the bat on the ball at all.
 
Great article of the days play from George Dobell. Better than the numpty who was reporting last week. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/content/story/738397.html

Sounds positive then. That from you added to what Jennings said at the Close gives us hope that if we can bowl well tomorrow we should be able to secure a lead.
 
good read as ever all. looking forward to tomorrows reports
 
Was hoping to get down today but simply too much to do (bairns birthday tomorrow). Sounds like a decent days play.
