Just as well we won after bowling a scandalous 39 no balls in the match mind! Apart from that well done lads, cracking victory.

Buttler taking a single 3rd ball of the over to get his 100 with Kerrigan at the other end!
 
What a great advert for 4 day cricket that game was. It went back and forth all 4 days with both sides having the upper hand at times. Two fantastic spells from Rushy, last night and this morning won it for me, it was only fitting and well derserved he got the last wicket to seal the win, it pleased his dad no end after all the shit he got last week, and even Rushy Snrs little dog was jumping up and barking with the cheers at the end.

Buttler batted well up to the last over, he was patient throughout his ininngs and once he got himself in he put the loose balls away quite comfortably. I think it surprised a lot of watchers that he took his 100 with a single second ball of the new ball over, leaving Kerrigan exposed to a fired up Rushworth, at that point as the "in" batsmen Buttler should have shielded him.

Rushy Snrs dog is a little terrier, cairn I think, they walk round and round the ground all match, you often see the dog getting fed treats by various members during the game.

Agree 100% ashamed to say I had a bit of a pop ar Rushy after the Worcester game, but fair play to the lad I wasnt there last night, but this mornings spell was as good as it gets, pacey, hostile and accurate, hope the bloody selectors keep away. Bloody good days cricket total effort from everyone, shame about me sunburn

Isn't this abuse he got last week being a bit hyped up? From what I saw it was just a few lads on twitter who weren't even Durham fans

The ones you saw were probably the ones that Rushy himself retweeted, a lot of the abuse he received he couldn't retweet because of the vile language used.

Ah shame that, absolutely no need. Sadly looks like it is football fan type behaviour, it is common to constantly abuse the players in that game.
 
Got to say our attack looked pretty weak Rushy aside. Hastings did alright but Borthwick and Stokes were both woeful.

Was a fair getting edgy and vocal down there today.... the natives didn't seem too happy, until the end that is.

Not a surprise really with Onions and Arshad out it just took Stoke to be out of form. We had to bring Coughlin in who seemed to do okay. Having said that I thought it would have been batting that would cause us more problems than our bowling this year but if anything it's been the other way round. I'm not sure if there's as much in the pitch for the bowlers this year we got Somerset out cheaply in their first innings but they were fairly comfortable in their second, we would have had Middlesex if it wasn't for the rain but apart from that I can't think of anyone who has got out that cheaply.

Yeah, you can add Wood and Harrison to the list. To be missing 4 of your first 6 bowlers (ignoring Stokes) and still get the 20 wickets is quite impressive

Someone mentioned on here at the time that type of idiot is attracted to the game by the invention of T20 - which sounded like sense to me.
