CC :: Durham v Derbyshire

[WishyWashy]

80/2 lunch.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Durham 80/2 at lunch. Good recovery from Lees and Bedingham.

 

[smoker]

Could have been worse but this is a great batting day, just stay patient and play sensibly.

 

[Dorlonco]

Given the square has been relayed and it’s usually tricky batting first at the Riverside at this time of year I would’ve opted to bowl. But after a poor start hopefully opting to bat first will prove to be the correct decision.

Same, which is a shame. Only appears to be a camera at one end too.

Will try and get the commentary on my phone and ‘sync’ the audio to the video

that link you posted said Durham had invested to show multi camera action. Need to have a word with their supplier!

Luis Reece opens the batting and bowling for them, ‘military medium’ (if that), seams it both ways. One of those bizarre characters @Mackem DJ will be all owa.

Started his career as an opening bat and about fifth change bowler. Now takes the new ball
Spin on the first morning

Left armer too. Something straight out the INternational Cricket Captain files

 

[Twisted]

Yeah, its alright for an amateur job

bit generous imo, had to switch it off

They’ve got multiple cameras in action in fairness, just lacking one behind the bowlers arm at the Lumley End

Canny recovery, still think there’s a bit in it for the bowlers though so a big session coming up for our batsmen.

Bedingham 50* from 82 balls with 8 fours. Gan on Bedders lad, treble it

 

[Twisted]

Serving lunch in the Twisted Suite of the members area, Belly pork, rice and a gin & tonic for £0 which seems a canny deal.

There’s now a camera at the Lumley End!! It’s too low though, can’t see past the umpire

Any sign of the green 78 bus to Stanley

It must be on a pole considering there's only a car park and a sight screen at that end.

being held by the judge. just a shame the microphone is off @The Red Telephone

no wonder it's too low for brandon

 

[WishyWashy]

Lees bowled by a ripper.

[WishyWashy]

This pitch on day 3/4 could be an absolute minefield

 

[smoker]

Lees never looked that comfortable for me. Nearly chopped on twice, nearly ran Bedingham out and don't think he middled anything.

Just need Burnham to play sensibly not the usual blood and thunder stuff

Be interesting to see if the heavy roller has any effect. I think it’ll get slower and flatter as the game goes on.

Variable bounce

i wonder if batting first was in part due to not having a clue how this pitch will play come day 4 and wanting to get batting out of the way as early as possible there was a ball to lees (iirc) very early on that absolutely died.
