Durham’s T20 Campaign

Why have we never learnt what is needed for this format?

Every year we seem to go in with the same game plan.

You need 2 spinners and a seamers who mix it up. Not that you can knock the batters today, but you can't rely on the top few coming off everytime.

Carse and Coughlin batting 5 and 6 is not good enough. 8s and 9s in most T20 sides.

Both decent hitters tbf, I think Eck is underrated but I can see why both bat reasonably high, both can hit a long ball. My problem is far more with their bowling. Carse has been poor since returning and honestly they're just not T20 bowlers imo.

The quicker you bowl, the further that ball gets dispatched in T20. We need more slower bowlers. I'd sooner bowl someone like Clark in this format than coughlin..

we probably missed borthwicks bowling, was he dropped or injured or what? Do we know

Ridiculous behaviour. That section of the ground is an utter embarrassment. Never been remotely tempted to sit there even when going with a group

not sure i've ever been to the CLS for a t20 tbh.
