CC : Durham v Derbyshire

[smoker]

Terrific performance by the lads. Couldn't have asked for much more.

Bizarre decision by Derbyshire to put one of their best batsmen at seven, so he was left high and dry twice.

I had to go out after lunch. Just came back wondering if Derbyshire had the lead yet.

Looks like a quick wrap up in the end.

We look like strong promotion prospects at present.

Excellent start to the season. I am not really in tune with the overall strength of div 2 so wondering where Durham are at and what realistically we could achieve this season in the CC

Brilliant performance. But for that awful session at Hove, we’d be in an even stronger position.

So bring on Yorkshire. Might be a stern test, depending on who they have available. Presumably FTECB can’t insist on us resting Potts or Carse, as they will have had a week off. And I trust the spinner situation will have been clarified by then. Can’t wait

Deducted a point for a slow over rate despite winning in around 2 and a half days.... Meanwhile racism down the road... 0 points deductions

Just realised that we're not yet into May but our county championship season is a third over.

 

[Ghfd]

The batting points gained is brilliant , no team in the country is any where close

Glory supporters.

Where were you when we were sh*t?

 

[danthemanSAFC]

The point deduction is ridiculous.

 

[Ghfd]

Winning with a day and a bit to spare = point deduction for slow over rate

I mean at times , cricket laws make no sense whatsoever

Unbelievable isn't it? Didn't Glamorgan finish on an over rate of -3 in their last game against us but I didn't see a points deduction there.

20 wickets in three and a half sessions and deducted a point for slow over rate *

(* plus 3 ball changes and 10 mins wasted moving the sightscreen three inches )

 

[Ghfd]

Just keep on batting and winning now. Great position they have

 

[The Red Telephone]

Next Championship fixture begins on May 11th at the Riverside against Yorkshire KKK...er..CCC.

Bring it on !

 

[Steak Pie]

Can't ask for anything more from the lads so far this season.

Lost one session in this match, and that was after the game was all but won. Great stuff.

The point deduction is ridiculous.

Durham also to be deducted 10 points for not having an "S" or a "G" in their name

and yet it took about 10 mins to move the sightscreen a couple of feet to keep Luis Reece happy, even though he'd been batting for two days with it in the original position. Sometimes cricket makes no sense
Not sure what I thought about Matt Parkinson. I saw very little that would make me want to extend his loan. Also bowled 2 no balls, which perhaps suggests he is just out of practice, so maybe he would improve and I'm being a little harsh.

His brother seems to have fallen out with Leicester big style. Wouldn't sign a contract extension, got stripped of the captaincy and is now out of the team. Is he worth looking at?
there's a thread for Parkinson... sorry

I couldn't work out how to edit my post
still can't

I'm making a right @rse of this
