4th Ashes Test - Durham

[rentaghost]

Now that really was f***ing stupid.

Yet another fuck up from the top order, heaping pressure onto the middle. Bairstow won't make a score here (haway lad, dee summat will ye)



Imagine that! Changing your team to suit the conditions.

Its not a 'fuck up' at all bearing in mind that this is Durham where no team has scored 300 or more first up at all this season. 270 is a par score and 50s and 60s are good scores individually at Durham where you are never really in. At the moment its still in the balance.

I hope people start getting some ale in them as the atmosphere is flat as fuck

Generous

250 is a good score

top order pathetic again.

I think pathetic is a bit OTT like. 100 runs between Cook and Trott. Disappointing that one of them hasnt gone on but pathetic is a bit much

Onions missing hasn't done much for it

True enough - Clarke as usual could be the difference between then getting 140 all out and 400

It is in the context of the summer where the top order have continually failed to deliver, putting pressure onto the middle and lower order to come up with runs.

We may well finish with a par score or better but that doesn't mean we should ignore the pattern in our batting this summer.

David Harker on TMS now. Interesting.
