CC :: Durham v Worcestershire


Daryl Mitchell 4 overs 3 maidens from his slow medium. This is exactly the sort of thing we need, just dry up the runs so the batsmen try to take on the strike bowlers, or chew through overs to the new ball.

Win, lose or draw i'm loving Durham this season. Competitive every match, good with bat and ball. I get the frustration with the 2 wicket keeper selection but we are watching a serious cricket team here. People should be delighted imo. Its night and day compared to recent years.

People are delighted. We are building a very good team. The Poynter/spinner situation is all the more frustrating because its so bloody obvious and preventing the good performances being turned into results.
 
What a f***ing waste Bedingham. Nicked off trying to force the pace in response to Worcestershire drying up the runs.

And it worked. Pay attention Scott

Need Jack to bat sensibly here. Plenty of time.

I read that a bit differently. Durham are in a dominant position in this match because of their strengths. A wicket taking rather than a containing bowling attack is one of them. I don't look at Bedinghams dismissal as a waste, more another valuable contribution to get into the dominant position we are in. Of course the perfect cricket team would have all basis covered and we don't have that but very few teams have perfection. The wicket keeper issue is completely valid but i'm not for criticising Borthwicks captaincy in getting us to this position with the team he has available to him.

Fantastic day up to now. Echo @rentaghost sentiments about how competitive we are in every game, fact is, every game so far this season has seen us in a strong position. We could easily have won every game looking back on it, as for today, just keep batting, get another 150 if we can and look to get them in for around 10 overs tonight.

Bedingham was scoring at a decent pace. There was no need to chuck his wicket away trying to boss the bowling. Thats from a team perspective (Burnham has scored slower) as well as individual.
 
Agree with what’s been said. Good side this year, just lacking that spinner that the top sides will have. Even just a defensive spinner would be handy just to hold an end.

First time I've contributed here, so please go easy. I've lurked for years because I live in Ethiopia (have done for last 15 years) and can only follow vicariously. The renaissance of Durham this season is really exciting, particularly the bowling - yeah, I know, except spin. Hope it continues so that we can kick those who deserve it where it hurts. FTECB.
