CC : Durham v Derbyshire


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

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 *:evil:🤬

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

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
