Team today?

Got to be Myburgh in but for who? Smith? Muchall has been in good nick in this tournament (probably get a decent score and stay in the team for the game during the week)
 

Team selection for Durham this season seems all over the place, some of the selection choices are puzzling to say the least.

I wouldn't drop Muchall purely on the back of his 96 last week, but if they're gonna play Myburg then surely he has to bat higher than he did last week.

As for the bowlers, I can understand not playing Thorp in order to save his legs for the CC, but I'd play Rushworth as he's now leading Durhams averages in both this comp and the CC, he's also top of the CC national averages for both divisions.

Do we need 3 spinners at Taunton? Borthwick, Breeze and Myburg seem one too many for me and I'd leave Myburg out and go with an extra seamer, Claydon, Wood and Rushworth with Stokes as the "all Rounder".

No doubt I'll be totally wrong with my selection choices again, as I've not been able to work the managements thinking out at all this season.
 
Was going to drive up to Somerset today but decided against it....looks like a wise move.

99/8

Decent wag from the tail but I can see this being an 8/9 wicket defeat. What are the batsmen playing at this season, shocking from the top order again.
 
The tailenders once again having to get the top order out of the shit. Breese has performed well in the 1 day format.

Richardson won't be with us much longer, top scorer vs Welsh Dragons and not seen since in the CB40 :oops:
 
Absolute shambles once again.

Richardson top scores in the CB40 vs Welsh Dragons yet isn't involved in the next 2 games :oops:

Just seems a case of "if your face fits" you get a game as their is very little indication in both formats of much change with the selection.

Again in the LVCC Richardson gets 1 game, Muchall has had 9 innings and has scored 94 runs.

Thorp keeps taking wickets yet was dropped and Plunkett and Harmison are brought into the team down at Somerset.
 
Why dd Myburgh open the bowling, during a powerplay on the smallest ground in the country?

Team Selections/Decision Making/Attitude all a complete shambles at the moment. Members Q&A on Friday could be interesting, especially if Friday goes bad
