CC : Lancashire v Durham


Deserved that wicket after the last 30/40 mins or so. Hopefully can get a couple quick ones here and start to turn the game into our favour

Once again a number of posters are criticising the decision at the toss.
After the toss there was an interview with Keaton Jennings.
Jennings said he would have put Durham into bat and the interviewer, Paul Allott agreed with him.
3 experienced cricketers would have fielded but our "experts" on here disagree.

For the record we all said field at the ground. I don't think we've done badly the last hour.

My sentiments exactly. It looked like great conditions for bowling.
 
I have no idea what the ground or the conditions are like, but we have been having trouble taking wickets in most matches and if we choose to bowl and then struggle to take wickets, all we are doing is handing over control of the game to the opposition. If Lancs become the latest team to score 500 plus against us, then we'll realistically be obliged to bat for the draw from the afternoon session of day 2. I know that this is a step up in quality, but that's not how we dominated the division last year. Last year we batted expansively and took charge, but we simply can't risk doing that from 500 behind
I'm not criticising the decision, btw, because I'm not there and can't see, I'm merely a little frustrated that we haven't really played to our strengths yet this season

hopefully we can wrest control back as these wickets fall
