Not open for further replies.
The sun is out in Ch le St although the forecast is iffy with Tuesday looking like a write off (if it goes to the fourth day.)

Haway now Ned if you win the toss....stick them in !!
I didn't think Poynter could play now Ireland are a test side. Has he given up the chance to play for them? Or did something happen that I missed?

He signed a new deal with Durham last year therefore ending his Ireland career.

In fairness to Dickson, he’s been done over by the umpire. It’s hit him above the knee-roll, easily going over the top.
 
Derbyshire won the toss, we bat.

Lees
Dickson
Jones
Bedingham
Harte
Poynter
Eckersley
Coughlin
Potts
Salisbury
Rushworth

jeez, you know you're shit when you're a specialist batsman and you're getting dropped for poynter.

sorry if the mother of either player are reading this.
 
Didn't think I'd ever say this but you're almost relieved we don't have to watch this batting line up, Take Lees , Bellingham and Harte out of it and there doesn't seem to be another batsman at the Club capable of getting to ten.. I'm afraid Dickson, Jones, Clark, Steel, Poynter, Burnham wouldn't get in any other county line up at the moment.
Although this is a truncated short season our lack of batting depth should be a major concern to the Club hierarchy
 
Foakes and Curran released by England today to play for Surrey. Wood NOT released to play for Durham.
Also note that Carse not selected for Durham. Was that our decision or England's ?

Wood will play in the T20s so presumably needs to remain in the bubble. Curran and Foakes won’t.

You’re right...... BUT if Covid wasn’t here we’d have had Bancroft and Behardien in that side.
