Durham Vs Gloucestershire - Thurs 29th July. One day cup

[Bri]

And yet again we ruin it by throwing wickets away… now two new batsmen. Brain dead cricket at times

A bit harsh surely?
One batsman made 140 the other 85, and they're 'brain dead' and 'ruining it'!

Eh?! We’ve got 12 overs left and 8 wickets - if ever there was a time to hoy the bat it’s now

Behave.

Not sure what more you want like. The table has been set, the question is do we have the power down the order to motor up to 350.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Behave.

WHED is that you trying to get the ball from under the seat?

 

[Silly Point]

Bracey would have dropped that in the NZ Test series

 

[brandon]

350+ on here.

Gloucestershire bowers have only sent down 3 wides - Durham bowlers take note

Clark yes, that’s fine, but why would Lees go swinging straight after losing one of our set batsmen?

Cause there was only 12 overs left and we still had 9 wickets in the hutch

And? You can score at a very good rate without just hoying one needlessly in the air an over after losing the other set batsman. We need to be so much more responsible to continue to win games

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

I think Durham would be better off just playing conventual cricket shots in these last few overs rather than all these scoops etc.

He tried to drive the ball over long off to the boundary, it was hardly ‘needless’. He just mistimed it, it happens. It’s white ball cricket.

Was thinking the same. Dickson and Bancroft took 14 off an over of the spinner a few overs ago playing proper shots. Again, the Dickson 6 off Worrall two overs ago came from a proper cricket stroke to a bad ball. I can’t bide all this stupid wandering about the crease cause when it doesn’t come off you look a tit.

Nah I'm sat at the back out the way

 

[smoker]

Poor batting these last few overs.

 

[Silly Point]

Puts our (Hundred shite induced) 220 all out from yesterday into perspective

 

[smoker]

More like it. Dunno why we didn't bring in Eckersley when Bancroft got out.

 

[brandon]

That was a WIDE

 

[smoker]

How was that not a second wide?

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

335/4 well batted especially Clark with another excellent controlled knock.
Fancy us to be more threatening with the new ball than Gloucestershire.

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Should be enough but think we maybe fell 15/20 short of where we could have been. Really good work overall though and great to see Clark stepping up again.
