Durham v Northants (a) C C.

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

well done to these two seeing us through to the end of day, useful partnership

Radio commentary is brilliant mind, they have just spent 5 minutes talking about Dariusz Kubicki

Is it Alex Winter on with Marty? Caught the last hour of play today and they were on top form

Regarding today - been mad busy so haven’t been following much at all prior to that last hour.

Having lost the toss and been made to field I think we can probably claim to have taken the first day, but not by much. One partnership tomorrow gets us a lead, a couple gets us a healthy lead. One more wicket and we’re into the all-rounders, but we bat very deep with this lineup!

Clark dropped in the slips two balls running both absolute pies!

Nice comment from Martin Emmerson there as he was talking about the four day washout against Northants here in 2018 then named the other games where no play was possible in Durham's history as a first class county...then paused...then said...' and of course Surrey this season as well'

He is a lot happier attacking the bowling.

Borthwick out. That's a pisser when he looked well set.

 

[Monument View]

Borthwick out chopping on going backwards to a ball he should have advanced to and smothered

Hope he makes them pay.

Hope he makes them pay.

He has looked decent overall just got two very decent deliveries in a row.

 

[Monument View]

Clark bowled round his legs by Kerrigan for 42
First innings lead in the balance

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Borthwick and Trevaskis may need their bowling boots on for Northants 2nd innings.

Shocking dismissal that. The Northants bloke mentioned that Kerrigan has bowled well this morning, but if we’re honest, he’s been absolutely gift-wrapped two wickets.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Pleased to see Clark get some runs.

100 lead here could be match done.

FTECB.

Don’t expect him to play next week either, they’ll be making him rest until the T20 World Cup I’d imagine.

Just saw this latest Div 2 table on ESPN;

1) How do they manage to have us bottom? Is this the ECB directive - stop Durham at all costs.

2) What was the outcome of the Durham v Surrey cancellation. Were any points awarded?

No Overton or Leach for Somerset either. Test counties operate to different rules.

 

[200 Miles Pilgrim]

The forecast tomorrow for Northampton is absolutely dire (likely to be a total washout).

Day 4 - Wed should be ok but does their ground dry out quickly??

In a word....No.

In light of what ECB did to Durham, they have little credibility but after the Test being postponed (and not blaming the IPL), the Hundred and then the continued double standards around counties and who is available for selection ....... they really are a busted flush. harrison needs to go and whole new regime put in place
