Essex v Durham County Championship 8-11 Sept

[Inside Forward]

Durham bowling with a Kookaburra whilst everyone else uses the Dukes?

 

[Beau Peep]

Well the most disappointing thing about today's play for me is how predictable it was even before a ball was bowled.
Today Durham looked like a retro Durham side from the mid to late 90s.

"Martin Saggers finishes with 8 overs, no maidens, 76 runs.... no wickets"

I said this is a 400+ pitch and weather permitting Essex will score that easily.

I suspect that even now Saggers would be a better bowling option than any of our change bowlers today

He is also an old school journalist that prepares before every match. He has loads of ststs to hand which to me is very interesting, unlike those that do the comms at Durham now.

He’s a great journalist
Mlf and gets on here I believe so notch it down a bit

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

He’s horrific him mind
Has to be most boring man on the airwaves
Worryingly he thinks he’s funny

Nah. As others have said, it's a difficult ask to talk all day while being informative and entertaining. He does like to tell us all where he has been on holiday though!

As we should have done

I think Raine has thrown the towel in with this spell

He looks sick of his life

Unless the structure changes from next year and nobody gets relegated. We're getting relegated.

Only McKinney really can take anything positive from the game so far...i am a little surprised he wasnt interviewed post stumps yesterday

Yes, i was wondering that with him getting 121

Bailey and Aldridge seem very much second division signings.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

We are doomed like no quality or fight

Bailey and Aldridge seem very much second division signings.

3rd division signings along with Conner’s and Parky in red ball cricket

At this rate they might get a 400+ lead. Durham praying for rain again, I very much doubt their prayers will be answered.

I hope the met office is accurate today, likewise BBC weather

I love a photo of covers and umbrellas. It looks a worse covering arrangemnent than Durham's. I guess they will cover the areas to the right and left of the wicket.

Haway the rain
