CC: Leicestershire v Durham

[mikemanc]

Absolutely pointless run out when Clark was just getting settled. Trevaskis seemed to call it, he's been involved in a few run outs.



Just checked: ruling comes into place this September, so he can play, but presumably has no future at Durham after that.

Yeah, I don't think he'll have a contract next year as we'd rather allocate our overseas slot to someone else. I think the ruling of Irish players as overseas players is intended to encourage more of the Irish players to play in the Irish league continuing to strengthen that competition and therefore benefit the test side by creating a bigger/better pool to choose from.

Tea: 413-6, lead is 318.

I never thought we'd get that far.

 

[Monument View]

I cannot envisage Durham losing with a lead of 318 at tea
Try to get quick runs for a lead of 350 plus and put them in for 15 overs or so

 

[Mainze]

Rimmington 92? Are they playing in a gym with a tennis ball?

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Crack on lads

 

[brandon]

Trevaskis 53* from 97 balls with 6 sixes.

450-6, lead is 355.

 

[Dougal]

Oh why couldn't we have batted like this in the first innings and got some batting points

Yep agreed

Because the game would probably have petered out to a boring draw if they did

 

[Bri]

Weather forecast is for moring rain then fine thereafter.

 

[smoker]

Probably enough on the board TBF. This has been a good partnership.

 

[Conyers falchion]

Trevaskis 53* from 97 balls with 6 sixes.

450-6, lead is 355.

Six fours I think

Eckersley playing T20 stuff

 

[Dougal]

Minimum of 80 overs to play tomorrow, weather permitting, plus 20 tonight would mean a target of 4 an over for Leicester. Is it worth the risk declaring soon or just leave 10 overs tonight and hope to get a quick wicket or two? Thoughts?

 

[Mackem DJ]

Cant understand them not throwing the bat here. Vital they get an hour to bowl tonight with rain in the air.

43 off the last five overs mate

96 overs in a day Dougal.

Durham lads in their whites on the balcony by all accounts. 100 partnership for the 7th wicket.

487-6 - lead is 391.

 

[Dougal]

96 overs in a day Dougal.

Doesn't it change on day four? Pretty certain I saw something about it being "a minimum of 80 overs on day four"! I'll have to dig out the rule book!

 

[brandon]

Trevaskis caught in the deep. 392 the lead and we’ve declared.
