CC : Somerset v Durham

[mackembhoy]

I hate this Kookaburra ball bollocks like. Key is a bell end.

But then it's worked elsewhere.

Farhan Ahmed likely wouldn't have played if the Dukes was being used this round. Instead he's taken 4/89 against the best side in the country.

However there is no point in killing the competitive element of the CC just to produce England cricketers that will have better success abroad.

Also worth adding we've been completely shafted by umpires in this game.

Kookaburra isn't to blame for that. The ball has just compounded their mistakes.

 

[brandon]

Just the two bowling bonus points.

The umpires are incompetent

Or worse…

Yup thought the same. They just guess. They are however not shy to warn Carse about the short ball, funny how they can see that

I think sometimes it’s worse than guessing…

He is. @Aidan11 called it yesterday.

It's on Somerset here to make a game of it. They need to win and have outscored Surrey on batting points in this round of games by 2 points. They play Surrey next week at Taunton.

Let’s just hope Somerset make the same mistakes Pakistan did last week

This is the main point, I get some rationale why there doing it, but if it kills the competitiveness of the competition then not worthwhile imo.

We just need to avoid the follow-on, if we can do that it severely hampers their chances of forcing a victory by the usual means.

Looking like being over 350 at this rate like.

Just watch them when Durham are batting, their fingers will be going up before the appeal goes up

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

112 overs and he's finally given us a decision on appeal

On the stream it looked like the square leg umpire let the other umpire let him know he gloved it

 

[brandon]

The good news is that Kent, Worcestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lancashire are all up against it in their matches.

I think the inclusion of Drissell was a mistake, should’ve gone with an extra batsman.
-
9 down and no declaration. Get Carse and Hogg on and bounce the living daylights out of Leach. Bowl at his hands and ribs.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

492 all out. I think we've done alright this morning. They will have wanted a lot more than that. First target 343

 

[brandon]

Nevermind, 492 all out. Durham need 343 to avoid the follow-on.

Definitely. They’ll be disappointed they didn’t make 500.

 

[Monument View]

I can envisage us being all out for about 290 with approx 6 LBW dismissals

We felt they would have wanted 550. I'll be very disappointed if we don't make 343.

 

[Inside Forward]

Feels like an achievement to get them all out before they’ve reached 500.

 

[Metro Man]

Another poor lbw decision....

 

[brandon]

SHOCK. Finger straight up.

 

[SuperSub]

Of course they are going to giving the lbw's now.....

 

[consettsafc]

There we have it

 

[Hetty]

Another poor lbw decision....

Aye that one was lol
