Durham's one day cup campaign

[Tongey]

Poor lad is embarrassed to take a wicket, tough afternoon for him this. Lads upstairs aren't helping like but overall very poor no dressing it up any other way

Was a poor ball TBF. But his line and length is all over the shop. Isn't able to bowl to a field set for him

Why are we persisting with two bowlers going at 9 an over for when others who have overs left in them have gone for far less?

 

[thewearsider]

Very strange from the skipper to keep the lad on with two batters well set when he is clearly low on confidence.

 

[mackemmover94]

He's already bowled 9. He came off earlier after 7 overs, probably just needs a poo and a rub down.

Looked very uncomfortable with his right shoulder finishing his 9th - holding it almost sling-like between last 2/3 deliveries. Don’t think he will bowl his 10th today unfortunately

Just as it was on Wednesday opening with him when we had an international bowler as an option

I am starting to wonder if there are instructions from above (North) re: certain on-field decisions at the moment.

It has crossed my mind.

They've got around 30 more than they should have here. I think we'll struggle to chase this.

Bailey looks a bit raw in the two game he's bowled so far. Thrown in at the deep end too early imo.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

I think this is a good score

 

[SlowCutter]

I might be able to make it down for the second innings will they still sell me a ticket on the door?

You've got 2 bowlers out there of the same age where the difference is chalk and cheese,one a new signing and the other regarded as surplus to requirements. We know who made those decisions.
Telling hometruths, however, is regarded as negativity by some.
Feel totally sympathy towards Bailey being thrust into a role he's clearly not ready for.

 

[chopsfc007]

We are only chasing 322 would have thought it was 400 the way people are going on

 

[Bri]

That looks a challenging score on a pitch that is doing a bit more than the other day.

 

[Aidan11]

Can't see us winning this.

It isn't far off chasing 400 when you consider one of Raine/Drissell/Bowman/Coughlin will be batting in the top 6.

Raine is capable bowman might suprise us what's your solution, 321 isn't a bad effort bowling wise

Gay out first ball again FFS
