CC :: Durham v Worcestershire

[Monument View]

Odds must be edgingly increasingly to a draw .
They are not scoring fast enough to bring about an unbeatable declaration total and with weather presumably interfering and costing time tomorrow a
win should be up to the bowlers getting them out quicker and for a lower total
Worcester have however batted out all of their games this year for draws

 

[Poolynorm]

Anybody else think it might be worthwhile to put Carse in next ?

Carse, Rayne and Poynter are all capable of having a slog.

 

[rentaghost]

I tell you what Marty never has any of our players out LBW. I wish he would umpire for us. He must get right on the tits of opposition listeners.

 

[Poolynorm]

Anybody having a cricket style tea shortly

 

[WishyWashy]

Lead of 304 at tea.

 

[Addis]

put on a quick 50 then go for it?

 

[Monument View]

Well done the batters can we accelerate a bit after tea for 12 or so overs and put 50 or 60. On before having a dash at them tonight.
I have a horrible vision of come tea tomroww Worc will still need 140/ 160 runs and are 7 down but umpires take them off for bad light never to return and Durham miss out again

 

[brandon]

Gan berserk for an hour after Tea, then declare with a lead of about 380 and 16 overs or so at them tonight.

 

[Bri]

I can only see a Worcs win from here.

.not sure I have heard him compliment at opposition player.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Should be out there bowling before now. No room for sentiment...

 

[WishyWashy]

Eckersley might get to 100 before Burnham

Ned turning into Sobers.

 

[Twisted]

I think the 'get your hundred quickly and we'll declare' message must've been sent to the wrong batsman like

You just know Burnham will get out on 99 in about an hour

 

[Poolynorm]

Why didn't Ned just block that last ball and allow Burnham the strike

 

[rentaghost]

If we end up with them 9 down tomorrow i'm sure people will have plenty to say but Burnham getting his first 100 in 5 years is massive in the bigger picture. they have done the right thing in my opinion.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Christ this is torture! I want to see the lad get his hundred but really we should be bowling after that onslaught by Eckersley.

Sure give him the opportunity for a couple of overs but he’s taking the piss now tbh
