CC : Durham v Derbyshire


What a good day that was overall. I thought we might declare when we got 400 and have 6 or so overs at them, but I wonder whether the umpires gave a warning about the light? They were speaking to both batters when Potts came in. No point in declaring then. Plus, can see the argument in giving Carse the chance to make 100.

Anyway, let’s get the extra point in the bag tomorrow, let Brydon get his ton, and then batter them with the ball 😁
 
I'm not a Paul Coughlin fan, but he's really doing well this year. Fair play to him. That was a vital stand with Carse. 100 partnership in 20 overs. Well done boys

Robbo looking like an inspired signing

my thoughts exactly
 
That knock today from Robinson was a joy to watch in the cold. Arguably one of the best 100s I've seen in red ball cricket, it really was top class. a good partnership with Clark which swung the game back in our favour. Have to be honest I'm impressed with our intent. At the start of the season I didn't have any expectations I have made my views clear on how far backwards we've gone under the last regime, all I wanted to see was positive intent and that's what I'm seeing at the moment from Durham. Remains to be seen how the wicket plays this game and whether we get the declaration game etc but so far we look a happy camp. See how it goes. I'm just about warmed up it was a cold one today. Back tomorrow. The form of Paul Coughin is impressing me also. Also pleased to see Graham Clark scoring runs, that was an important contribution with Robinson

Said the same thing about Robinson when he reached three figures - it was quite effortless the way he was stroking the ball around. A quite glorious innings.

With the exception of the 2nd innings against Sussex it has been a joy to watch Durham's performances this season so far. Long may it continue.

Do you ever critisise anyone for not scoring high runs if you're happy with thirties and forties
 
Great day's work, looks like a very good score on this track.

Double blow with Mat K and our T20 Saffer puts a little downer on it, but still.
