CC : Leicestershire v Durham

[essex boy]

Ray Toole was an overseas pro in the Essex league last year. South North standard of league, returned consistent figures. Played a fair few Essex 2s games and may have even played for the full Essex side. Not the worse stop gap

Is Carty back..?
Stream is a bit naff with only one fixed camera on wicket

 

[Hetty]

99/0

Jones 50 up

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Ridiculous start

 

[Hetty]

115/0

Lees 50 up

Don't want to insult any player but is this the worst seam attack Durham have had?

I know needs must and Stan is a good prospect .. but .........

How can it be we don't know much about the new lad and we still have raine

 

[leecoo]

Bout time Trev got a go

Not sure why we can’t give Robinson ago instead of Toole

Will Toole have more experience with the kookaburra ball? Assuming as they use them in australia they'll use them in new zealand

Ryan Campbell saying Olly Gibson will maybe play 2nd 11 next week.

They do. Ryan Campbell is on BBC with Marty and has been discussing this.

That dismissal. I’ve lost count the amount of times we’ve chipped a half volley to mid wicket like with the batsman falling over. A dismissal you literally never see at international cricket

Fair point that

Fair point that

We are excellent at losing a wicket just before a break
The above is Borthwicks party trick

Raymond Soppitt played one game in 1972 for Durham and had match figures of 6-97...er..that's about it as far as Raymonds are concerned.

Think he played for Whitburn alongside his brother Norman

 

[brandon]

29 overs in the first session, 9 of them were spin. Awful that.
Lunch:

Durham 150-1 (29 overs)

Lees 66*
Borthwick 3*

 

[The Red Telephone]

Excellent morning for Durham and just a shame we had to lose our now obligatory wicket just before lunch.

Was a couple of drinks breaks which took a while as it's currently 28 degrees but as long as they get the full overs done I'm fine with it (weather permitting)

 

[Hetty]

164/1 ticking over nicely

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Dire stuff that from Borthwick mind. He didn't look comfortable at all. Really poor wicket to give away. 164-2. 33.1 overs. Over rate is -1. Run rate is 4.9

In truth if he wasn’t captain he doesn’t deserve his place
Far too many low scores
