50 Over Cup - Durham v Northamptonshire

I wasn't watching the other day and not able to do today, on train both times and Wi-Fi no good for streaming.

But by all counts it was turning very early, so surely you then make sure to bowl 30 overs of spin. The fact leach ran through us shows it was definitely an error.

Then you just look at econ rates of the spinners today compare to seamers so yet again not using 30 overs of spin. If Borthwick wasn't trusted the other day at all then why is he today.

It's just bizarre captaincy and not really sure what input Campbell gives on stuff like this.

But we did the same in the Blast both this year and last year not using all our spin options in games we should have, going to them too late most of the time too.

They were saying on commentary that the ECB took an interest in the pitchy and sent up an inspector, the opinion being that it span too much. It sounds like the ECB would have told Durham to use a different pitch, however it wasn't possible to prepare another within the time frame. This pitch was doctored to lessen the spin, the phrase they used was the pitch 'glued' for this match, not a phrase I'd heard before.
