It was a great day for Durham CCC, incredible bowling display by all our bowlers, Rushy was the one who came away with the honours, but I suspect he had the better end. Aaron looked canny quick and was unlucky not to pick up a couple of wickets in his first spell. Stokes looked quick and Chase joined in the fun albeit very briefly.
From a couple of posts on here, I defy anyone to have seen how badly Northants would collapse, not just once, but twice. Colly was determined to get a win, and the team ethos throughout was to post a good score, and pick up points. The score had to be competitive enough to guarantee forcing a follow on, and a target of 400 was about right. Remember, we had two batsmen who scored centuries and Northants certainly had a couple of batsmen who were capable of the same feat.
The Pedigree must have taken over during my enthusiasm as I was sure that the score board credited Rushy with seven wickets in the second innings!! But it turns out it was only six .....
Anyway, an incredible performance, individually as well as collectively. The team spirit going into the final must be massive!

I take it you meant all out twice?I am confident. 187 all out
(and even then you were being over generous)
