T20 Blast Durham v Notts

[smoker]

We've played well tonight.

Hales the difference

 

[hudson88]

Good effort against a very good side. Unlucky

 

[Marko]

Got closer than I thought we would. Still any loss is disappointing

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Hales the difference

Aye. Just mind but fair play

 

[Marko]

Not sure why Borthwicks in the team if I'm honest. If he isn't a first choice spinner and can't play a few flick shots better than our tailenders....

His bowling is usually ok in this format

Think he should learn to playa few scoop shots. sweeps, (things that need timing rather than muscle) and play slightly up the order.

As a bowler. Two spinners are an absolute must as a minimum in T20.

He bowled himself one over tonight mate,

Some big scores in the blast today

He bowled himself one over tonight mate,

So what. You need options. I’m completely fine with having a leg spinner as one of those options, even if he comes in at 11.

A number 3 batsman should consider himself better than a CC number 11 batsman, and put himself higher up the order.
He was the 2nd most economical tonight and yet didn't bowl a second over.

Have you seen borthwick batting up the order in t20 it's terrible

I agree he isn't the most prolific which is why I suggested he should learn shots that might suit his game.
It's like we're going back in time when we had wicket keepers that couldn't bat. With Borthwick not bowling his overs and playing as a number 11 batsman, we're wasting a place in the side.
Number 11s should bowl 4 overs.

Do you mean Rushworth

Would have been a good option instead of Potts though. Just needed someone to nudge a single and get Carse on strike, and Badger is fine at that

 

[Marko]

I know he's not played T20 for a few years, but I'd compare him to Killeen who did well for years.

Who else can come in hopefully lees can come in for Burnham which would help

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Bushnell for Burnham would be my only change for now

We had lost I reckon by then but maybe I like having leg spin option bowling, lees can replace Raine up the order hopefully that will improve us

Bushnell for Burnham would be my only change for now

Is lees fit soon
