Durham's one day cup campaign


Slipped to 5th in the table, still one game going on. Played more games than anyone else. NRR now at -. Not going to bother going to final group game. So for us it is the blast match and the first day of the final home championship match and that is our season done. Don't know if we will renew membership might just wait for the promo codes and do it on the cheap

Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure the only time I have seen him push hard for 2 runs it was for his 100 in the recent blast match

Funnily enough I was chatting to a bloke today who had been to the Middlesex game and he pointed out how their batsmen were turning what would have been singles for us into twos throughout their innings.

He is correct with the short boundary towards the trapdoor that boundary required an extra fielder on it. When Durham batted and played into the vacant areas where the longer was we seemed to just saunter for 1 where as the middx batters pushed for 2 in the same areas
 
Three to go and I reckon were going to need to win all three.

At the moment we don't look like a side who can win one game.
 
I wonder if the lads who have pocketed a few grand playing for a fake team, that no one has allegiance to , feel a bit guilty about their employers and work colleagues One Day Cup demise.

Probably relieved to get away if the dressing rooms anything like the atmosphere we see on the pitch. They struggled to celebrate taking wickets today.

As much as I despise the hundred, once all of the teams better players are taken away, we should be in a strong position with Lees, Gay, Bedingham, Robinson and Raine, etc.
 
Well that was shit. So much to chew on these last couple of days. Absolutely baffled why we persisted with Bailey/Rhodes both going at 9 an over when Dris hadn't bowled out and was going at about 6 and also why not bowl Ackermann? It seems barmy. Bailey looks lost at the moment, early days though. Killeen bowled well and it's baffling why he was dropped on Wednesday. Gay is a concern, it's basically all or nothing with him and to have so many 0 scores is poor. Just an all round bad bad day. Something isn't right and questions levelled at the players and coaching staff are more than valid at the moment along with the recruitment by North who I still feel gets a very easy ride on here as do some others.

They keep resting three of those players though and one hasn't played every game because he wasn't registered!!!

I know it's the players who have to perform on the field but any woes at the club start right at the top.

There's a total infatuation with getting a Hundred franchise and to pot with everything else that has made Durham successful county.

Terrible player signing strategy, muddled team selections, a contempt for the fans. It's not a good time for the club at the moment.
 
Nothing much to add to what has been said already. I do wonder how fat Lees can get before something is done. I'm sure a non-captain wouldn't get away with it. Along with his rotten captaincy he now costs us runs with his fielding.

I've mentioned this before but I've twice seen Lees in Aldi Chester le Street purchasing large tubs of Haribo style Ket. Perhaps he's after a move to Northants who have a history of favouring the more rotund cricketer.:lol:

There are clearly serious issues at the club in both bowling strength,inconsistency in batting,leadership and player moral. That's reality and it is negative but it's palpably true.
Bedingham off and Potts missing 2CC owing to England call up.
Reality won't be overcome by denial.

Where's Bedders even off to. Campbell said on wednesday he was missing a few next week for a rest

I really don't understand how he needs a rest when we had no intention of playing him in this compeition.

The player himself being desperate to play so why he's now been told to sit out again!!!

That interview from Campbell says it all. No passion, no anger, no real clue how to turn our form around ....a few excuses and no acceptance that some of our players just arnt ready / good enough.
If thats coming from the leadership then we are goosed.
Showing nothing of that famous Aussie will to win mentality.....he unfortunately sounds broken

But do we know how much power and say Campbell has?His experience of English cricket when he was appointed was non existent afaia, doubt if he has any say on recruitment and probably little on retention. We'll never obtain a proven head coach if he's greatly subservient to the director of cricket, likewise the board of directors appear to have little background or interest in cricket.
Hence both North and Bostock appear to be able to do as they please with no apparent monitoring or accountability.I'm very despondent about the future direction of the club.At present it's lost it identity as a pathway to elite cricket for local youngsters.
