CC : Durham v Glamorgan

I went at 6.15 and had no sooner walked out of the Trapdoor when I heard the 7th wicket go down then got home and found out they were all out.:lol::oops:

We were both shattered and hayfever was very annoying, it's sometimes not comfortable enough. Our heads never dropped mind, delighted to see we have them for below 400 as conditions were prime for batting. Very much game in. Well done to Durham but also special mention to Steve Borthwick, his captaincy today was good. Young Stanley had a tough time today and Borthwick did everything to keep the lad positive with many words of encouragement... I like to see that and I highlighted many times last year who that was missing.... It clearly shows how together this team is. I think we've done well today
 
Could be an entertaining day tomorrow if Durham bat with the intent they have shown this season. Ideal opportunity for a couple of batsmen to make big hundreds.
Well batted Carlson today he is good to watch even if its sgainst Durham.

He’s a good player him, one of the better ones I’ve seen on the circuit, not sure what his stats say but he looks class
 
Excellent fightback from the lads with the new ball, very impressed with the loanee Miles and of course Raine as usual doing a stellar job. Tomorrow is due to be hotter than today, so I really hope the lads can bat all day and give the Glamorgan lot a torrid day of chasing leather in the heat.

Pitch looks good, but we did bowl some really wayward stuff at times.
 
I reckon that's the first day this red ball season that we've been second best but even then the lads managed to pull things around as I had visions of Glamorgan comfortably hitting 500+.

A tough day for young Stan but all part of the learning process. Thought Miles bowled very tidily and De Leede bowled better than his figures suggest. Carlson got his obligatory ton against us although we all know he should have gone on 67.

Good to be back in The Trapdoor although those seats take some getting used to after all that time. :eek:

Looking forward to tomorrow a lot more than I was at 6pm mind.
 
Tough day today but we came back well in the end. Top marks for the lads sticking at it. A torrid day for Young Stanley as the learning curve went up in a vertical direction. If he is to progress he will have to be capable of putting days like today behind him and improving.

Young STAN’s head visibly dropped after his unfortunate dropping of a dolly, but it was good to see the other seasoned pros rallying around him and encouraging etc.
Mind you sending him out to open in the final over of the day, imagine how he’d have felt if he’d got out?

Miles lost his place to Rushy at Warks, funny how things work out.

It’s early days but I really like the look of him - I know the initial deal is for two games, but if he still isn’t likely to push for a place in the Warwickshire side for the July CC fixtures I wonder if the club will keep in contact regarding another stint up here?

Good point about De Leede actually.

I think Glamorgan will be absolutely gutted to have only taken 3 batting bonus points when they were 340-4.

Biggest day of the season so far is tomorrow in my opinion, to see how we respond when the scoreboard pressure is on us for a change. A McAlindon century would be a canny start, atleast then he’d be in a positive aggregate for his dropped catch ;).
