Leicestershire v Durham

[brandon]

Inspection at 15:00 according to the stream but it’s still pissing down.

Inspection now at 16:00
covers of for the pitch but on the the square.

 

[Parkside]

Play abandoned for the day.

Marty tweeted that the players wanted to get back on but the umpires didn’t, calling the game off an hour and a half before play would’ve ended naturally, which is another example of cricket shooting itself in the foot.

A bad start for Lungley and Watts, when you also consider the two absolute plumb lbw shouts they turned down this morning.

Durham have won the toss and will bowl first.

Rushworth (injured), Bushnell and Trevaskis all miss out - the latter two presumably dropped, which will no doubt raise eyebrows.

Drissell, Bedingham and Potts return.

Jones
Dickson
Borthwick
Bedingham
Maddinson
Coughlin
Raine
Mackintosh
Potts
Drissell
Gibson


I took it as them deciding Drissell is the better spin bowling option on a pitch that may well take turn later in the game.

Dropping an all rounder at 6, averaging close to 40 this year with the bat and a good showing with the ball last week, to be replaced by a bowler carded to bat at 10. Think there might be a different reason than dropped

It's very odd. Bushnell must be bemused also.

 

[Parkside]

Elsewhere 2nds at Notts where Notts bowled out for 253. Colonel jnr with 7 victims.

Pretty sure he's not long reached 16yrs old so likely he'll be celebrating with a KFC meal

Amongst the hysteria surrounding this season from a first team perspective, it’s warming to know we have a lot of young talent at the club and seemingly continuing to be produced.

Then blocked from the 1st team by less than mediocre imports such as Maddinson and Drissell.

Exactly the hysteria I’m talking about. Tell me, how many academy players have been introduced into the first team this season….?

 

[Ottery]

Just popping by to say that this is proper bowling today.

Potts looks like he hasn't bowled for a month...

Potts looks like he's back in his rhythm

Been working but find the ommision of Trevaskis baffling.
Batted and bowled well at Derby. Drisell playing, not sure why ?
Partnership developing here, hopefully can wrap their innings up and complete a good morning..

 

[SuperSub]

Frustrating to see Leicestershire reach 200 after having them 130-8

 

[thewearsider]

200 up, here we go again !!
All out thankfully, good catch, well bowled Matty, shows how much he has been missed this season. Now to bat well .

 

[Twisted]

. Now to bat well .
