CC :: Essex v Durham

[Old Timer]

Found a sun trap in the garden sitting in the sunshine with a beer watching the cricket, almost feels like summer.

Shit

 

[Jack Torrance]

Terrible shot that

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

A bit ambitious that from Bedingham.

 

[smoker]

Two soft as fuck wickets. No need at all for this, we're in front.

Fairly relaxed now any lead is good so every run is good from now

 

[The Red Telephone]

Don’t lose a wicket in this final session and this will be just about the best first day performance in Durham’s first class history. Can anybody think of a better one?

For sentimental reasons I'll stick with the first day of our home game against Notts in 2009 where if we won then the title was ours and we finished on 377-1.

Three good batting days ahead, weather-wise. Just need to bat sensibly and build 100-200 lead not get out slogging.

Nottinghamshire at home in 2013

Fuck sake Burnham. Commentator says beaten for pace, I don’t think he was, just a wide open defence.

Bastard is turning square at the other end too.

Great contest between Harmer and borthwick

 

[chopsfc007]

Need to be careful here

Ffs Burnham

 

[smoker]

Burnham bowled by Cook. This session is a bit pants.

He's a cracking bowler this lad

 

[Mackem DJ]

Some of the absolute tripe on skysports jesus could they not stretch to a county championship game. Totally get the IPL is on but crikey

Agree. Awful defence. Led us into false sense of optimism with that 42 at Trent Bridge, back to same old.

Great contest between Harmer and borthwick

Cant believe Harmer has only played five tests for SA.

 

[Old Timer]

I don’t get how Burnham keeps his place.

 

[chopsfc007]

Who would you replace him with

 

[smoker]

I don’t get how Burnham keeps his place.

Not a lot of alternatives. Jones, Clark or Dickson would be likely options, but all have been found lacking in first team. If Harte was still here he wouldn't get a look in.
