CC : Gloucestershire v Durham


Easily the signing of the season that lad.

Harmy remarked on the Cricket Collective podcast earlier this week that were a Division One outfit playing in Division Two and on the evidence of what we’ve seen so far it’s hard to argue with that.

Granted, still a long way to go in the season (and the match) but it’s great to see the lads playing with so much confidence and turning the screw when we’re on top.

Patel has 5 and he’s on a hat-trick!

Having a top spinner is so helpful like, brilliant management just identifying that immediately, as it’s not something I would have prioritized

i don't think it would have been on the agenda if the pitch hadn't changed so much over the last few years. we couldn't bowl a side out and we didn't have players we were confident in to keep the over rate down.

Yeah you’re right for sure. It’s really helped. Even getting Parky for one game, didn’t do much, but that’s great intent in not letting a game pass them by. Even just having someone bowling so much in a day holding an end allows us to rotate. Wicket also allowing us to score more.

I also think Raine has really stepped up to replace Rushy, which I didn’t expect.

Shame about Kuhnamen (spelling) as I think he was absolute quality
5-76 Go on Patel lad. Magic.

absolutely.

you can look at a spinner's figures but what that doesn't tell you is the impact it's had on the seamers.
