CC : Gloucestershire v Durham

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Isn't he only back because of a newborn baby? Otherwise he'd still be at the IPL.

Hasn't played due to being poorly for a while over there.

Genuinely don't know.

We love a soft dismissal Borthwick and Bendingham terrible. That’s 3 times in the last 3 matches Bedingham has chipped straight to mid-wicket so poor.

On his day he is one of the classiest batters I have seen playing for Durham but sloppy dismissals seem to becoming more frequent.

 

[Steak Pie]

All four dismissals were avoidable and three of them after good starts, but 200-4 is alright.

Better than anyone else is managing so far in the country

Mind Sussex 37/0 from 6 so far. Must be a lot easier than before lunch for batting.

 

[Ghfd]

Ticking along again 200 for 4

still think 250 plus is a decent score on this

 

[MustardAndOnions]

ffs man

Spinning and seaming a bit here mind, bowlers getting some shape.

So my understanding is Wood is back home (correct me if I'm wrong). Why is he not playing for Durham?? Some of these players are going into a red ball test match with no red ball cricket this season.

Why would they play Wood? he needs to be wrapped in cotton wool

there is no way he should be playing county cricket before the ashes.

New baby due soon

What can we make another case of batsman getting in but failing to go on.

Plenty others doing it.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

No way they would risk Wood in a 4 day game for us. Part of the ECB remit to keep Durham down.

none of them bowl 95mph

 

[danthemanSAFC]

Martin thinks that Its a good batting track, more runs needed

 

[WishyWashy]

Patel should be well in the game on this pitch imo.

looks a decent track to me still

we have batted this way all year so cant really complain about wickets out to show shots, frustrating though at times

Very true but several will be coming in undercooked with red ball cricket. Stokes, Wood, Root for example, never sits well with me that.

To be fair other than Smith at Sussex and Marnus at Glamorgan aren't the Aussies in the exact same position?

Not sure how much Sheffield Shield stuff some of them have played.

Stokes is injured though so irrelevant
