Durham’s T20 Campaign

From memory he played about 3 games at the arse end of a season, it’s hardly ‘addressing’ the long standing issue is it?

He got 18 wickets at 13 a piece in 4 games. That's certainly addressing the issue imo and indicating that he was exactly what was required on worn wickets at the end of the season.
 

What I found completely ironic about last night was the approach taken when batting. Last week against Lancs, when chasing a relatively low score, batsmen were practically swinging themselves off their feet and trying to hit the ball out the ground but instead holed out and we lost wickets regularly making the chase more difficult. All it really needed was to hit the ball into the gaps and score the odd boundary. Last night when faced with a big total to chase down the approach was totally opposite. Can't remember how many we scored off the power play but it was a mediocre effort. In fact the approach last night was what it should've been last week and vice versa.

As shite as we are doing its still surprising to see notts 1 place ahead of us. I dont think we have the squad to be overly successful at 20/20 but notts have a class 20/20 team on paper

Not sure what's happened to Notts this season. Pretty much always there or thereabouts.

Yep, the real failure story of the competition is how shite they’ve been.

Mind, they’ve got two games against us to come yet, so that’ll be a guaranteed 4 points :lol:
