Durham v Middlesex LVCC

[brandon]

FOR FUCK SAKE - Stoneman out. We'll be f***ing 3 down before we have a lead and they'll be chasing no more than 120 here.

 

[brandon]

I reckon we should just treat this as a T20 game. Might get a decent score if we do :roll:

 

[Marko]

Jennings gone cheap again

 

[Mackem DJ]

Stoneman has been poor lately.

 

[mackembhoy]

Borthwick gone 32-3 :roll:

Stokes to pull his bat out of arse and smith well there's nee point in expecting him to get runs.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

We are effectively 7 for 3. Desperately need a couple of big stands. If we can get up to say 175 lead we have a chance with our attack.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Hopeless...

This.

 

[mackembhoy]

Smith fails again 97-4

Need stokes and colly to have a big stand here

1st ball duck for Collingwood, he looks a shadow of the player he was.

Probably tempting to tell Mustard and Stokes to just give it a bit of a bash although Stokes seems to be doing alright at the minute.

 

[mackembhoy]

colly out for a golden quack :roll:

 

[mikemanc]

2 fours in his first six balls, maybe Mustard has decided to have a dart. Or he's nicked it twice

 

[Mackem DJ]

colly out for a golden quack :roll:

God his batting has been hideous.

 

[mikemanc]

129-7, Stokes out for 51, Richardson for 2. Think it's definitely time for Mustard to throw the bat now.

Richardson's been disappointing after such a good end to last year.

 

[mackembhoy]

effectively 104-7 and there into the tail. The colonel needs to hit some runs or we are utterly fucked could be a massive set back in the title race.

 

[brandon]

127-7 (effectively) as it looks as though the Beeb and cricinfo are down. Last over before (a very late) Tea.

Edit - 129-7 at Tea.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Thorp gone now.

168-8

As I said earlier get the lead upto 175 and I still think we have an outside chance. Lead currently 143.

Edit 168-9. We need a miracle now.

29 wickets down in this match and we are only just into the 6th session. Dodgy pitch?

 

[brandon]

171 all out. 147 needed for Middlesex. LOST.

f***ing shite.

Something needs to be done about our batting order and fast. 4 ducks in the innings.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

171 all out. Target is 146. Need early wickets obviously.

171 all out. 145 needed for Middlesex. LOST.

f***ing shite.

Something needs to be done about our batting order and fast.

The pitch is clearly offering the bowlers a fair bit. I don't think we are certain losers.

We are very likely losers but they still have to get those runs. Get a few quick ones and they might start to wobble.

Remember that was actually the highest scoring innings of the game so far

 

[brandon]

6 wicket win I reckon. Going off Tim Wellock's reports most of our batsmen threw their wickets away. I don't believe this pitch is as bad as the scores pull so far suggest, I'd say we need them 6 down at the very least tonight.
