CC : Durham v Worcestershire

One spectator near me shouted for O’Shaunessy to open his eyes. Ironic as O’Shaunessy was standing at square leg.

It was the other bloke, who was full of petulance when he handed Siddle his jumper at the end of the over.

Thick inside edge goes for four, 50 opening partnership. It’s not our day or our match unfortunately.
 

The decision to prepare a wicket like this for the visit of a Worcestershire bowling attack that their own coach admitted had been decimated simply beggars belief.

Vic has been rather scathing about the wicket himself on commentary to give him a bit of credit. I suppose he could’ve just prepared a better wicket to start with though.

Did you hear him say he gives oppo teams info about pitch conditions, he tells the truth, well bends the truth :lol:
 
GERRIN!

Roderick c Robinson b Stokes 38.

Bounced out, I’ll be honest, it feels like desperation tactics. I’m not taking any credit, but I kid you all not, I’ve just moved seat and the first ball brings about a wicket :lol:

56-1, need atleast another two before Lunch IMO though.

175 required.

Weather will get worse mind. Cant believe the fuckin sun this morning, will be the only sun of the week!
 
Wouldn’t surprise me if one or two face disciplinary action - I’ve watched the replay, that is as OUT as they come. I make it SIX absolutely f***ing rotten decisions from the umpires in this game that we’ve been on the wrong end of.

Inbetween overs they’ve spoken to Borthwick. It’s the mirror they ought to be looking in.
Shanmugan,Indian by birth,was appointed in 2022 in direct response to the complaint that there were no umpires from ethnic minorities on the 1st class list.

FFS.

People know my views on box ticking and quota filling, but at the risk of sounding like a Reform candidate - the fella at the other end is as white as the cliffs of Dover and is also completely f*cking useless.
Bit worried that the nature of the wickets arent due to the pitch tho

Indeed, it’s still looking fairly placid, just hope the pressure of the chase overwhelms them.
