CC : Durham v Worcestershire

I don’t blame the players. They’ve been put in a shit position by the club with an awful pitch and had some shocking umpire calls.

Whoever is asking for wickets like this needs shot with shit. You’re only a lost toss away from this current situation. Staring defeat in the face against what looks like a Divison Two team.
 

82 lead, we are going nowhere here, both batters comfortable. Need some Stokes magic or we are starring at a very disappounting defeat.
 
We gifted them a few wickets in the second innings especially, some poor shots. But we've really let them off the hook since lunch with the bowling
 
The most angry I’ve been over a Durham performance in years this.

The pitch was a disgrace, the umpiring was a disgrace but also, we lost far too many wickets in the game to poor application and an unwillingness to stick in and fight it out.

I reiterate, we’ve allowed ourselves now to be dragged into a relegation battle come the final month of the season when we should’ve been looking ahead towards a tilt at the title. To lose to a team that is Division Two standard by such a large margin in the end is completely embarassing.

They have their second string (possibly third string) bowling attack out, littered with patch-up loans of rejects from elsewhere. And we’ve GIFTED them life :lol:

Worcestershire fans I was sat close to earlier couldn’t believe their luck, they were making comments that suggested they didn’t expect to get anywhere near, nevermind to win so easily.

The club need to work very hard in my opinion to bring in an overseas player for those final 5 games of the season, because we may well not see Potts or Stokes anymore this year.
